Pray the Word

 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  ~Psalm 23:2-3

I woke up this morning with trepidation, but I turned to the Lord.  I called out to my Father and told Him how I was feeling and then I spoke His word.  I spoke truth into my life.  I declared the truth that I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37).  I reminded myself that if God before me who can stand against (Romans 8:31).  I told the Lord what He has told me that His promises are "yes and amen" (2 Corinthians 1:20) so I know that He will not leave me nor forsake me( Deuteronomy 31:8).

As I prayed His word over my life I felt the anxiety and fear leave.  I asked God to lead and guide my day as I dedicated it to Him and He is doing just that.  He has calmed my soul and allowed me to rest in Him.  He has led me to still waters, so that I could drink of Him.  Sheep drink from still water because it does not frighten them.  So the Lord calmed the waters for me this morning.  He is a good and gracious Father. He has guided my day and kept me on a righteous path that He may be glorified.  He has lifted me. 

Right now, in the First 5 App we are studying bible verses to help us navigate our journey with Christ.  Scriptures that we can go to where, comfort, protection, and power can be found.  Scriptures that help us meet Christ in our studies.  Today I am a witness to the power of God's word over my life.  He has done it before and He did it again.  I am so grateful that His word is alive and active ( Hebrews 4:12).  I thank God for the living Word of Jesus.

Lord, thank you for calming my soul.  Thank you for leading and guiding me.  Thank You for Your word and the blessing of You.  May I always turn to You and Your word.  In Jesus name. Amen
