Provision Prayers: Freedom from Fear. Psalm 34

God of all creation: the earth, the heavens– all that is seen and unseen.
Your Word lights the universe.
Your Word opens hearts and minds,
Your Word is living, breathing…all knowing,
Your Word is consummate.
Thank You.

John 1:1-2
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus, the Christ. You are the Living Word. You are Truth. You are Life. In You is all that matters. Your Word pushes out the thoughts that infringe on my peace. Plant it deeply within me and grow it so that it consumes my innermost being, Then, surely, all will be well.

Psalm 34:
1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Oh that I wish this were my reality. It is my hope. It is my deep desire.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

The humble shall hear? THEN humble me fully, that You are all I can boast about. I want to hear. Is it my heart that needs the humbling? My mind? Take them. Take them completely.

3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Be magnified, O God. Grow in stature…fill my thoughts, direct my eyes, fill my ears and silence the sound of the world around me…anything that diminishes Your presence…seep into all that I am.

4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Oh wow. Yes. When I seek You, You hear me and deliver me. Fear is gone. It disappears and is no more. What do I seek that isn’t You? May I ask for mono vision? That everything around and in me…converge into one thing: seeking You! THAT would be a good day!

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Just looking at You brings light and eases the weight of the day. You brighten my face —from deep within my heart. Looking at You, looking to You causes troubles to disintegrate. O praise be to the God who hears.

7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Fear: a multi-dimensional word. The world fills me with fear …the fear of the world. It’s very dangerous. But YOU, Your Word, fills me a different fear! —with the fear of the Lord. That fear delivers me from their fear.

Thank You for Your heavenly hosts, who protect me.

8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Now what is the flavor of Your blessing? I haven’t thought about this before. There are actual flavors to Your goodness, Your righteousness? What about Your justice? …or Your redemption? …or Your salvation? …or Your peace?

What we have here is so limited. When sin is gone and time shall be no more and we are with You, our senses will all be released to their fullness. Thank You for Your Word that confirms to me my future salvation.

9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

You are consummate. You are fullness of life. All needs are met through You. Fill me with this “fear of the Lord.” Teach it to me in every aspect of my living, that every particle of my being is filled with the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Me! That’s me! I am that person! I want to see Your goodness around me. Bridle my tongue and lips; but more so, fill my heart and mind that what comes from my mouth pours out Your goodness to those around me.

Direct my steps! I need Your road map, Your guidance, Your GPS. Place only those paths on the map that lead to Peace. To Jesus, who is the Prince of Peace. Help me to diligently follow the map.

Your Word is the Map. Your Spirit is my Teacher and Guide.

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

It is a difficult thing to consider that Your eyes are “on” me. I feel Your presence, which is a daily treasure. Knowing You are with me; knowing that You hear every cry —including the silent ones in my heart— knowing that You hear AND deliver me…there is the foundation of my strength and courage. Thank You.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

This is again beyond me. You know the brokenness of my heart. You know where all the hairline cracks are. Grant me an eternal contrite spirit and bring Your continual deliverance to my awareness, that I can continually “Bless the Lord” and that Your “praise is continually in my mouth!"

21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Secure my trust O God. I believe in Your Word. I believe in the Living Word.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Shine Your peace upon this dark and fearful world and squelch the fear that has spread like a cancer. Shine Your peace within me and shine forth from me, that those around me, who are fearful, may find relief. Fill me with Your fear —the fear of the Lord!. Shine on, Lord God…cast Your perfect love upon this ailing world. In You alone, we have hope.

Remember the suffering children, and come quickly.

Maranatha.
