Psalm 91 Dear Father, We acknowlege You as the Almighty God. We humble before You and repent of anything that would hinder Your word from being established. We claim every promise of Psalm 91. We come before Your throne and dwell in the secret place under Your wings, knowing that in Your shadow we will remain stable and fixed where no foe can withstand You. We lean on and rely in You as our refuge and fortress. In You, we confidently place our trust, judging You faithful to deliver us from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. Help us to abide in Your truth and faithfulness. Your shield and buckler will protect us from the terror of evil plots and destruction though they may come to those all around us. Release Your angels to have special charge to bear us up, defend, and preserve us. We take authority in Your name knowing that Your deliverance is near. Satisfy us abundantly in Your great love. Amen
