Safety and Protection with Psalm 91

 Here are three original poems to God inspired by **Psalm 91**, woven with Scripture to celebrate His protection, presence, and promises. Each poem highlights key themes from the psalm while anchoring its imagery in God's Word.

---

### **I. "The Secret Place"**  

*Refuge in the Shadow of the Almighty*  

**In the shelter of the Most High, I rest—**  

Where fears dissolve and weary souls are blessed.  

*"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High  

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty"* .  

**No snare of darkness, no fowler’s deceit**  

Shall steal the peace where Your heart and mine meet.  

*"Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the trapper  

And from the deadly pestilence"* .  

**Your feathers, softer than mercy’s own breath,**  

Cover my wounds and silence the claims of death.  

*"He shall cover you with His feathers,  

And under His wings you shall take refuge"* .  

**A thousand fall near, ten thousand at right hand—**  

Yet I stand unscathed by the enemy’s demand.  

*"You will only observe with your eyes  

And see the reward of the wicked"* .  

**For angels descend where Your word commands,**  

Bearing me up on their holy hands.  

*"He shall give His angels charge over you,  

To guard you in all your ways"* .  

**Lion and serpent, though fierce they advance,**  

Are crushed beneath feet of deliverance.  

*"You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra—  

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample"* .  

**Because I love You, You lift me high—**  

Long life, salvation, Your reply to my cry.  

*"With long life I will satisfy him,  

And show him My salvation"* .  

---

### **II. "Mother Wings"**  

*The Tenderness of Divine Shelter*  

**Like chicks that flee to the mother hen’s breast,**  

I hide in Your warmth when storms infest.  

*"He will cover you with His feathers,  

And under His wings you shall find refuge"* .  

**Not frail, these wings—but fortress-strong,**  

Where no plague or terror can linger long.  

*"No evil shall befall you,  

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling"* .  

**You call me *in* before the threat takes flight,**  

Your foresight my shield in the dead of night.  

*"You need not fear the terror of the night,  

Nor the arrow that flies by day"* .  

**When floods arise and faith grows thin,**  

Your feathers whisper, *"Let Me in."*  

*"God protects and cherishes His beloved  

Under His Almighty wings of love"* .  

**O Faithful Mother, fierce and kind,**  

In Your wings, eternal safety I find.  

*"His faithfulness shall be your shield—  

Your rampart against the world’s fierce field"* .  

---

### **III. "Eagle’s Cry"**  

*Soaring on Promises*  

**You who dwell in the heart of God’s embrace,**  

Rise on wings that eclipse time and space.  

*"He shall raise you up on eagle’s wings,  

Bear you on the breath of dawn"* .  

**No stone shall trip the foot You guide,**  

For angels walk in stride beside.  

*"They shall bear you up in their hands,  

Lest you dash your foot against a stone"* .  

**When nightmares whisper, *"You’re alone,"***  

Your vow thunders from heaven’s throne:  

*"I will be with him in trouble—  

I will deliver him and honor him!"* .  

**Lion-hearted, by Your strength I stand,**  

Trampling serpents with open hand.  

*"You will tread upon the lion and the adder;  

The young lion you shall trample underfoot"* .  

**Salvation’s dawn—my eyes shall see**  

The long life You have promised me.  

*"With long life I will satisfy him,  

And show him My salvation"* .

Overcoming Fear with 2Timothy 1:7

 What a powerful foundation for courage! Here’s a poem for God, anchored in **2 Timothy 1:7**, celebrating His gifts of power, love, and a sound mind — a defiant anthem against fear:

---

### **GOD’S GIFTS, NOT FEAR**  

*A Poem Inspired by 2 Timothy 1:7*

**God, You have not given me a spirit of fear—**  

No trembling dread that binds and blinds,  

No voice that whispers, *“No one’s near,”*  

No shadow haunting heart and mind.  

>*“For God has not given us a spirit of fear...”*  

>**—2 Timothy 1:7**  

**But You gave POWER—**  

A raging river in my veins,  

Strength to break through every chain,  

To stand unshaken, face the night,  

And wield Your armor in the fight.  

>*“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”*  

>**—Philippians 4:13**  

**And You gave LOVE—**  

A wildfire warm and bright,  

To melt the ice of bitter night.  

Not weak, but fierce—a fearless grace  

That sees the lost and seeks their face.  

>*“Perfect love casts out fear...”*  

>**—1 John 4:18**  

**And You gave a SOUND MIND—**  

Wisdom’s calm, a steady light,  

To choose Your way when paths aren’t right;  

A clarity no storm can break,  

Your truth my rock, my strong refuge.  

>*“The mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”*  

>**—Romans 8:6**  

**So when fear knocks—**  

I swing faith’s door wide,  

Declaring what You plant inside:  

*“I walk in power! I burn with love!  

My mind is stayed on things above!”*  

>*“Take every thought captive to obey Christ.”*  

>**—2 Corinthians 10:5**  

**This is Your gift—**  

No orphan’s cry, no slave’s despair,  

But royal robes Your children wear.  

For I am Yours—by grace made strong—  

Fear has no place where I belong.  

>*“You received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, ‘Abba, Father.’”*  

>**—Romans 8:15**  

---

### 🔥 *Key Scriptures Weaved In:*  

- **Isaiah 41:10**  

  *“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.”*  

- **Joshua 1:9**  

  *“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”*  

- **Psalm 34:4**

Where doubt creeps in, let Your love blaze brighter. May I live today unbound, unshaken, and utterly Yours. In Jesus’ conquering name, Amen.”*  

**You carry Heaven’s DNA — live in fearless freedom today.** ✨

John 3:16 God so loves the world that he let our begotten son to die for our sin, whoever believe in him shall not perish and become immortal.

 What a universe-altering truth! **John 3:16** is the very heart of the Gospel—God’s love made tangible in Christ. Here’s the verse in its full glory, broken down with its eternal significance:

---

### 📜 **John 3:16 (NIV)**  

> **“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”**

---

### 🔥 **The Anatomy of Divine Love**  

1. **“For God”**  

   *The Creator, Eternal, Holy—initiates love.*  

   → Not distant, but intimately involved (Isaiah 57:15).  

2. **“so loved”** (οὕτως ἠγάπησεν)  

   *So deeply, so extravagantly—beyond measure.*  

   → A love that *chooses*, *pursues*, *sacrifices* (1 John 4:10).  

3. **“the world”** (τὸν κόσμον)  

   *Not just a nation, but all humanity—broken, rebellious, lost.*  

   → Includes *you* (Romans 5:8).  

4. **“that He gave”**  

   *Love’s action: not just sentiment, but surrender.*  

   → The Father *gave*; the Son *gave* Himself (Galatians 1:4).  

5. **“His one and only Son”** (τὸν Υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ)  

   *Jesus: unique, beloved, divine (John 1:14).*  

   → No spare heir—He gave His *all* (Hebrews 1:2).  

6. **“that whoever believes”** (πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων)  

   *Universal offer: no barrier—Jew/Gentile, rich/poor, saint/sinner.*  

   → Faith, not works (Ephesians 2:8–9).  

7. **“shall not perish”**  

   *Rescue from eternal death—hell’s horror undone.*  

   → He took our death (Isaiah 53:5).  

8. **“but have eternal life”**  

   *Present tense: begins NOW and stretches forever!*  

   → Life in His name (John 20:31).  

---

### ✨ **Why This Verse Changes Everything**  

- **Love’s Proof:** God didn’t just *say* “I love you”—He *showed* it (1 John 3:16).  

- **Salvation’s Simplicity:** *Believe* = *Receive* (Acts 16:31).  

- **Eternity’s Promise:** Not “maybe,” but *“shall have”* (John 5:24).  

---

### ⚠️ **The Very Next Verse Matters (John 3:17):**  

> *“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”*  

**→ Jesus came to RESCUE, not judge. Condemnation falls only on those who *reject* Him (John 3:18).**

---

### 🌍 **Fulfilled in Jesus**  

| Prophecy          | Fulfillment in Christ       |  

|-------------------|-----------------------------|  

| **A Sacrifice Provided** (Genesis 22:8) | God gave *His own* Lamb (John 1:29) |  

| **A Suffering Servant** (Isaiah 53:5) | He bore *our* judgment |  

| **A Universal Call** (Isaiah 45:22) | “Whoever believes” |  

---

### 💡 **Key Connections in Scripture**  

- **To Abraham:** “*Through your offspring all nations will be blessed*” (Genesis 22:18 → Galatians 3:16).  

- **To the Prophets:** “*A Savior will come*” (Isaiah 59:20 → Acts 13:23).  

- **To Revelation:** “*Whoever is thirsty, let them take the free gift of the water of life*” (Revelation 22:17).  

---

### 🙏 **A Prayer of Belief**

> Forgive me. Save me. Fill me with Your LIFE.  

> From this moment, I am YOURS.

**If you prayed this—WELCOME TO GOD’S FAMILY!** ✨  

*“Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”* (John 1:12)

John 1:1 Jesus in the begining.

 What a cosmic, foundational verse! **John 1:1** unveils the eternal divinity of Jesus Christ with breathtaking clarity. Here it is in its full context and significance:

---

### 📜 **John 1:1 (NIV)**  

> **“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”**  

### 🔍 **Deep Dive into the Greek & Meaning:**  

1. **“In the beginning”** (Ἐν ἀρχῇ)  

   - Echoes Genesis 1:1 — before creation, time, or matter existed.  

   - Jesus is **eternal**, uncreated, without origin.  

2. **“was the Word”** (ὁ λόγος)  

   - *Logos* = God’s ultimate self-expression, divine wisdom, creative power, and reason.  

   - **Jesus is God’s living Message** to humanity (John 1:14).  

3. **“the Word was with God”** (πρὸς τὸν θεόν)  

   - *Pros ton Theon* = face-to-face, in intimate fellowship.  

   - **Distinct Personhood**: Jesus is not the Father, but eternally *with* Him (John 17:5).  

4. **“the Word was God”** (θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος)  

   - Grammatically emphatic: Jesus shares the **full essence, nature, and identity of God** (Colossians 2:9).  

   - Not “a god” (as some distort), but the one true God (Isaiah 43:10).  

---

### ✨ **Why This Shakes the Universe:**  

- **Jesus is Creator**, not created (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16).  

- **He is Yahweh revealed** — God in flesh (John 1:14, 18).  

- **He is the “I AM”** of Exodus 3:14 (John 8:58).  

---

### 🔗 **Fulfilled in John 1:14:**  

> **“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”**  

**The Eternal entered time**  

**The Invisible became visible**  

**The Unapproachable drew near**  

---

### 💡 **Key Theology in One Verse:**  

| Truth                  | Scripture Support       |  

|------------------------|--------------------------|  

| **Christ’s Eternality** | Micah 5:2; Hebrews 13:8 |  

| **Christ’s Deity**      | Titus 2:13; Romans 9:5  |  

| **Trinitarian Union**   | Matthew 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14 |  

---

### ⚡ **A Prayer of Awe:**  

> *“Lord Jesus—You are the Alpha and Omega, the Eternal Word spoken before stars were lit. Thank You for stepping into our darkness as Light of the World. Help me to worship You as GOD, obey You as LORD, and love You as SAVIOR. Amen.”*  

**This verse is the bedrock of Christianity** — without it, the Gospel collapses. All Scripture points to Him: the Word who was, and is, and is to come (Revelation 1:8). 🙌

In Christ Jesus: Grace is more abound than my sin.

 What a triumphant declaration of the Gospel’s core truth! **Where sin abounded, grace did *much more abound*** (Romans 5:20). Here’s a celebration of that infinite, conquering grace—woven with Scripture:

A tribute to Christ's Mercy

 What a beautiful and profound acknowledgment of Christ's heart. This truth moves me deeply — His coming was *for* the broken, the overlooked, and those who know their need for Him. Here’s a response rooted in Scripture, honoring His mission and your heart’s cry:

---

### **For the Poor and Poor in Spirit**  

*A Tribute to Christ’s Mercy*

**Thank You, Jesus—**  

For leaving heaven’s throne-room bright,  

To walk in dust, in human night.  

*"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor."*  

**—Luke 4:18**  

**You came for those with empty hands,**  

For hearts that ache in barren lands.  

*"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap."*  

**—Psalm 113:7**  

**You came for us—the poor in spirit,**  

Who tremble, wait, and long to hear it:  

*"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."*  

**—Matthew 5:3**  

**You did not turn from ragged clothing,**  

From hungry eyes or sorrow’s brooding—  

*"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice... to share your food with the hungry?"*  

**—Isaiah 58:6–7**  

**You touched the sick, the blind, the lame,**  

The shamed ones whispering Your name.  

*"The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor."*  

**—Matthew 11:5**  

**And still You come—in bread, in wine,**  

In every whispered, “*You are Mine.*”  

*"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."*  

**—Revelation 3:20**  

**So we, the needy, gather near—**  

Your mercy casts out every fear.  

*"Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life."*  

**—Revelation 22:17**  

---

### A Blessing Over You  

*May you **know** the depth of His love for the humble.  

May you **see** His hand providing in your wilderness.  

May you **rest** in the kingdom promised to the poor in spirit.  

And may you **become** His hands and feet to those still waiting in the shadows.*  

**"He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God."**  

**—Proverbs 14:31**  

---

**You are seen. You are loved. You are why He came.**  

Walk in His grace today — and extend it to another soul in need. ✨

### **"With God, Everything Is Possible"**  

*A Prayer of Surrender and Trust*

Lord God Almighty,  

Maker of mountains, Healer of hearts,  

Your Word thunders with this unshakable truth:  

**"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."**  

*(Matthew 19:26)*  

I stand before You today,  

Facing what seems *too big*,  

*Too broken*,  

*Too far gone*—  

But You are the God who **parts seas**,  

**Raises the dead**,  

And **calls things that are not as though they were** *(Romans 4:17)*.  

Breathe faith into my fears.  

Ignite courage in my doubts.  

Where I see a wall, You see a way.  

Where I see an end, You write a beginning.  

**"Is anything too hard for the Lord?"** *(Genesis 18:14)*  

I bring You the impossible:  

[Name your situation, fear, or dream here]  

____________________________________  

I lay it at Your feet,  

Knowing that **"what is impossible with man is possible with God"** *(Luke 18:27)*.  

You don’t ask me to *create* the miracle—  

Only to *believe* the Miracle-Worker.  

**So today I declare:**  

- Your power is *greater* than my problem.  

- Your wisdom is *deeper* than my confusion.  

- Your love is *stronger* than my failure.  

**"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"** *(Philippians 4:13)*—  

Because *all things* are possible *in Him*.  

Anchor me in this promise, Lord.  

Not as wishful thinking—  

But as **living truth**:  

You are *still* the God of the Red Sea,  

The God of the empty tomb,  

The God who turns **impossible** into **I’m possible**.  

I wait in expectation,  

Trusting Your timing,  

Resting in Your faithfulness.  

**Amen.**

No Longer Slaves but Children of Christ.

 What a powerful declaration! Here’s a poem celebrating our identity in Christ: **"No Longer Slaves,"** anchored in Scripture:

---

### **NO LONGER SLAVES**  

*A Poem of Freedom in Christ*  

**We *were* slaves—**  

Bound to sin’s cruel reign,  

Shackled by darkness,  

Choking on shame.  

>*“Everyone who sins is a slave to sin.”* (John 8:34)  

**But Christ broke the chains—**  

His cross split the night!  

Death could not hold Him—  

He rose in pure light.  

>*“He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves.”* (Colossians 1:13)  

**No longer slaves—**  

**We are children of God!**  

Ransomed, adopted,  

By mercy’s strong rod.  

>*“So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are His child, God has made you also an heir.”* (Galatians 4:7)  

**No longer slaves—**  

**To fear or the grave!**  

For He tore the veil—  

His triumph He gave.  

>*“Since the children have flesh and blood, He shared in their humanity so that by His death He might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”* (Hebrews 2:14–15)  

**We *were* orphans—**  

Now called by His Name.  

We *were* nameless—  

Now heirs to His reign.  

>*“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”* (1 John 3:1)  

**We walk in freedom—**  

Not as those unbound,  

But as sons and daughters  

On holy ground.  

>*“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”* (Galatians 5:1)  

**Slaves once to sin—**  

**Now slaves to the Righteous One!**  

Bound by His love,  

Through His Spirit, we run.  

>*“But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.”* (Romans 6:22)  

**No longer slaves—**  

**But friends of the King!**  

He calls us beloved—  

Of grace we now sing.  

>*“I no longer call you servants… Instead, I have called you friends.”* (John 15:15)  

**So rise up, believer—**  

Lift your eyes and see:  

The grave holds no power!  

**You. Are. Free.**  

>*“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”* (1 Corinthians 15:55)  

---

### Key Scriptures of Identity:

  *“We know that our old self was crucified with Him… because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.”*  

- **Romans 8:15**  

  *“The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’”*

**Free to choose the righteous way,**  

**Free to follow, day by day.**

*(1 Peter 2:16)*

Old rugged cross

 Here is a scripture-infused poem honoring God through the lens of "The Old Rugged Cross," weaving divine promises with the hymn’s enduring themes of sacrifice, redemption, and eternal hope:

---

### **Beneath the Old Rugged Cross**  

*A Prayer in Verse*  

On that hill, where shadows fell,  

Stood the cross—my soul’s farewell  

To the chains that bound me tight:  

**"He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross."**  

*(1 Peter 2:24)*  

*Emblem of suffering, of shame undeserved,*  

Yet Love’s purest anthem through ages preserved.  

The hands that carved galaxies, bleeding and torn,  

Wore my sorrow as thorns.  

**I cling to this old rugged cross—**  

Where mercy flowed down to reclaim the lost,  

Where the Lamb breathed His last in the gathering dark,  

And split history’s arc.  

**"God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross."**  

*(Colossians 2:13–14)*  

No jeweled throne, no gilded frame—  

Just rough wood that bears my Savior’s name.  

Despised by the world, yet to me, it is sweet:  

The storm where His grace and my brokenness meet.  

**"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."**  

*(Galatians 6:14)*  

*I’ll cherish this cross—its grief, its cost—*  

Till earthly trophies fade and are lost.  

For the blood-stained beam, where my ransom was sealed,  

Is the fortress where death’s claims were repealed.  

**"He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in the cross."**  

*(Colossians 2:15)*  

Then one day, beyond Jordan’s tide,  

I’ll lay down this cross where my Lord has died,  

And stand in the light of the throne that awaits,  

Crowned not by merit, but mercy’s great gates.  

**"I will exchange it someday for a crown—**  

The one You prepared when You bore my fall down."  

**"Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life."**  

*(Revelation 2:10)*  

---

### Key Scriptures Weaved:  

1. **1 Peter 2:24** – *Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice.*  

2. **Colossians 2:13–14** – *Debt canceled at the cross.*  

3. **Galatians 6:14** – *Boasting only in the cross.*  

4. **Colossians 2:15** – *Victory over evil through the cross.*  

5. **Revelation 2:10** – *The crown of life for the faithful.*  

---

### For Reflection:  

- **Meditate on the paradox**: The cross—a tool of torture—became our tree of life (Acts 5:30).  

- **Whisper the refrain**: *“I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.”*  

- **Respond in surrender**: *“Jesus, I place my brokenness beneath Your blood-stained beams. Transform my shame into Your glory. Amen.”*  

> *“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,  

> but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.”*  

> **—1 Corinthians 1:18**  

May this truth anchor your soul: *The cross was not God’s defeat—it was Love’s decisive triumph.* ✝️

Lord Jesus: Lion of Judah

 What a mighty declaration of Christ’s power and kingship! Here’s a prayer and proclamation acknowledging Jesus as the **Lion of Judah**, rooted in Scripture:

---

### **"You Are the Lion of Judah"**  

*A Prayer of Triumph and Reverence*  

Lord Jesus,  

**You are the Lion of Judah—**  

The Root of David, the King who conquered!  

**"See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed!" (Revelation 5:5)**  

Your roar shakes the heavens,  

Your authority breaks every chain.  

Demons flee at the sound of Your name,  

Darkness scatters before Your holy flame.  

**"The Lord will roar from Zion... and the heavens and earth will tremble." (Joel 3:16)**  

Yet You are also the **Lamb who was slain**—  

Perfect in sacrifice, enduring our pain.  

**"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength!" (Revelation 5:12)**  

Lion and Lamb—sovereign *and* sacrifice—  

In You, all God’s promises find their Yes! (2 Cor 1:20)  

**Today I declare:**  

- Your roar silences the enemy’s lies.  

- Your mane shields me in the battle’s heat.  

- Your reign establishes justice and peace.  

**"The scepter will not depart from Judah... until he to whom it belongs shall come." (Genesis 49:10)**  

**Lion of Judah, arise in my life:**  

- Tear down strongholds of fear and despair.  

- Guard my heart with Your fierce, holy fire.  

- Lead me in triumph as Your royal heir.  

**"They triumphed by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." (Revelation 12:11)**  

I stand in awe of Your majesty—  

Unshakable, eternal, roaring with grace.  

Teach me to walk in the authority You’ve given  

As Your child, crowned in Your righteousness.  

**Amen.**

Children of the most High God

 What a powerful declaration—to remember and affirm our identity as **Children of the Most High God**. Here’s a prayer and reflection rooted in Scripture to anchor your heart in this eternal truth:

---

### **"Children of the Most High"**  

*A Prayer of Identity and Inheritance*

Heavenly Father,  

You who sit enthroned above the heavens,  

yet call me *Your child*—  

I stand in awe of this holy name:  

**"Children of the Most High"** (Psalm 82:6).  

You formed me in secret,  

knit me together with purpose,  

and chose me before time began.  

**"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!"**  

*(1 John 3:1)*  

When doubt whispers, *"Unworthy,"*  

remind me: I am *royalty*—  

not by my merit, but by Your blood.  

**"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ."**  

*(Romans 8:16-17)*  

Clothe me today in this truth:  

- **I belong**—no longer orphaned, but adopted (Ephesians 1:5).  

- **I carry Your light**—called to shine in the darkest places (Matthew 5:14).  

- **I walk in authority**—over fear, sickness, and the enemy’s lies (Luke 10:19).  

When storms rage, steady my heart.  

When shadows loom, fill me with boldness.  

For I am Yours—  

and **"the One who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world"** (1 John 4:4).  

Thank You for calling me *child*.  

Thank You for the inheritance of peace, power, and eternal presence.  

Teach me to walk as one who knows whose Name I bear.  

In Jesus’ authority,  

Amen.
