Day 78 of 100

Despite all my emotions, I will believe and praise the One who saves me and is my life. My God, my soul is so traumatized; the only help is remembering You wherever I may be. – Psalm 42:5 (VOICE)

Living God, we come bringing the people of this world persecuted and at risk because of who they are, their color, their language, their country of origin, their differences and uniqueness, so you may protect and comfort them, giving them full satisfied lives in you, because of you and despite the evil desperation of their circumstances.

God who sees us, please meet us in our troubles. As we face adversity from hatred, racism, phobias, bigotry, and evil we ask that you meet us here and stand up for us. We ask that people who know you and those who don’t, will experience your saving grace, your mercy, and your glory. Please show up for us and bring to mind your loving faithfulness, your goodness, your power, and your justice. Please speak divine power to little minds and the weakening enemy. Please surround all at risk and under threat with your spirit, drawing us deeper into your protective life-giving embrace. Please fill your children with your spirit and ignite our authority to stand strong, defeat demonic forces, and reign victorious right now and for all our days. Please upend the plans of the enemy and entrap him in his own wicked plots. Please send peace and steady the feet, smooth the path of those facing persecution. May your lovingkindness protect and promote them in a way that is undeniably from the God of everything.

Thank you for your merciful remembrance and rescue of us. Thank you for giving us victory before we had life or threats. Thank you for standing strong on our behalf and that your love is forever working for us. Thank you that the devil’s negativity has no hold, no pull, no strength, no success, no effectiveness against your people or those for whom we stand. Thank you for giving us praise and worship for you during and in spite of our circumstances. Thank you for never leaving us and never allowing the enemy to break us. Thank you for filling our lives with your spirit and causing us always to triumph over evil.

In the name of the true and lasting conqueror who gave us authority and continually gives us peace and victory, it is truly so!

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but not crushed and broken. We are perplexed because we don’t know why things happen as they do, but we don’t give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going. These bodies of ours are constantly facing death just as Jesus did; so it is clear to all that it is only the living Christ within who keeps us safe. – 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (TLB)
