Don't lead me into temptations

 Of course. I understand the heart of your prayer. You are referencing the Lord's Prayer, but with a poignant and personal twist. The original phrase is, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." (Matthew 6:13). Your prayer, "Don't lead me from temptations," speaks to a deep desire not to avoid the battle, but to be strengthened and proven within it. It is a prayer for courage and steadfastness.

Here is a poem and prayer for that brave and trusting heart.

---

The Prayer for the Fire

Some pray for a path that is easy and smooth, For a gentle removal of all that can prove That their faith is a force,that their love is real— But a different cry now my heart does feel.

Don't lead me from temptations, As if I were too weak to stand. But lead methrough them, holding my hand. Don't spare me the fight,the struggle, the test, But let me find in You my rest.

Let me not flee from the devil's own roar, But stand firm in the faith,and love You more. Let me not avoid the refining fire, But be purified in it,by Your desire.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. (James 1:2-3)

So when the temptation to doubt or to fear, To choose my own way,to draw You not near, Comes like a flood,threatening and strong, Be my fortress,my victory, my song.

Equip me within it. Arm me for the hour. Reveal Your own overcoming power. Not that I would seek the test out myself, But that I wouldn't shrink back onto a shelf…

…Of safety that’s really just fear in disguise. I want faith that is proven,that opens my eyes To the strength of my Savior,who was tempted too, And who gives that same victory to me and to you.

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Hebrews 2:18)

So I ask not for escape, but for endurance to win. For a faith that is stronger for the battle within. Don't lead me from temptations, Lord, make me strong. Let me prove that Your grace has been there all along.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Protect me from evil

This is the very prayer Jesus taught us to pray—a plea for deliverance from the evil one and all his schemes. It is a prayer for spiritual, physical, and moral protection.

Here is a prayer and poem for that divine safeguarding.

---

From the Evil One

The evil lurks, it prowls, it waits, It whispers at the narrow gates. It seeks to kill,to steal, to lie, To dim the light within my eye.

But I am Yours, and You are strong, To You,my God, my soul belongs. You are my shield,my mighty tower, My source of overcoming power.

Protect me from evil.

Deliver me from the evil one’s hand, From his destructive,dark command. From his temptations,subtle, deep, That lure Your wandering sheep.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (Matthew 6:13)

Guard my heart from his deceit, From bitter and accusing thoughts. Guard my mind from his defeat, The battles he has often fought.

Put a hedge of thorns around my way, So I will never from You stray. Let no evil plan succeed, Upon my life,upon my seed.

Cover me with the blood of Christ, The perfect,all-sufficient price. Let it be a sign,a seal, That proves Your promise,strong and real.

I put on the armor You supply, To stand against the arrows that fly. The belt of truth,the shield of faith, To fight the fight until my death.

Protect me from evil, Lord, I pray. Not just for this,but every day. Hold me secure within Your hand, ’Til in Your promised land I stand.

In Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen.

Protect me from danger.

This is a fundamental and heartfelt prayer, a cry for safety and security in the care of our powerful and loving God. It is a prayer He hears and answers.

Here is a prayer and poem for divine protection.

---

The Sure Defense

The world holds seen and unseen harm, A voice of trouble,a loud alarm. I cannot see around the bend, Or know what dangers may descend.

But I can know the One who sees, Who moves upon the troubled breeze. The One who never slumbers,sleeps, A vow for His beloved keeps.

Protect me from danger.

Guard my going out, my coming in, From hidden snare,from blatant sin. Be a shield about my way, By night and also by the day.

The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. (Psalm 121:7-8)

Protect my body, keep it safe, From any peril I may face. Protect my mind from fearful thought, The battles that are inward fought.

Protect my heart from lies and scorn, And keep my spirit newly born. Protect my steps from paths that stray, And lead me in Your perfect way.

I do not ask for no trial or test, But for Your presence through the rest. I do not ask to never know fear, But to know that You are ever near.

So be my fortress and my rock, My steady ground,my constant lock. My hiding place,my refuge strong, My victory,my hopeful song.

I place myself within Your hand, And in Your promise I will stand. You are my protector, now and always.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen.

Bless me with Mercy Journey.

This is a beautiful and humble request—not just for blessings of ease, but for the gift of God's mercy to mark your entire life's path. It acknowledges that the journey itself is a classroom of grace.

Here is a prayer and poem for your mercy journey.

---

The Mercy Road

I do not ask for a path of ease, That only serves myself to please. I do not ask for skies always blue, With nothing difficult to do.

I ask for something far more deep, A promise You are sworn to keep. I ask that from this day,until my end, Your mercy would my path attend.

Bless me with a mercy journey.

Let Your mercy go before me, A guide to open every door for me. Let Your mercy walk beside me, A constant friend,to guard and guide me.

Let Your mercy be behind me, A grace that lovingly reminds me That every failure,fault, and fall Is covered by Your love for all.

Surely your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23:6)

On days of strength, let mercy be My humble song,so willingly. On days I stumble,lost and faint, Let mercy be my one complaint—

My cry for help, my only plea, That draws Your kind heart unto me. In every joy,and every sorrow, Let me borrow mercy for tomorrow.

Let this journey tell a tale, Where mercy’s love did never fail. Where every mile,both sharp and sweet, Was paved by mercy’s wounded feet.

So bless me, Father, I now pray, On this,my journey, day by day. Not with just gifts,but with Your face, And Your everlasting,mercy grace.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Please work miracles in my life.

 Of course. This is a cry for divine intervention—a plea for God to move in a way that defies natural explanation and reveals His power and glory in your situation. It is a prayer of faith and surrender.

Here is a prayer and poem for that desperate and hopeful request.

---

The Unlikely Place

I stand before a sea, a wall, A mountain that is far too tall. I see the need,I feel the lack, There is no turning,turning back.

My own resources are all spent, On efforts that are heaven-sent But seem to fall on stony ground, Where no solution can be found.

So I come to You, the God of the impossible, The One whose power is unstoppable. The One who parts the raging sea, And makes a way for even me.

Work a miracle in my life.

Not for my glory or my fame, But to magnify Your holy name. Not just to give me my desire, But to refine me in Your fire.

Work it in the hidden place, Where no one else can see my face But Yours.The quiet, desperate plea That rises from the deepest me.

Work it in the situation, That defies all explanation. Where doctors shrug,and finances fail, And every human effort’s frail.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Work it with Your mighty hand, Across this broken,weary land Of my own heart.Perform the sign, Make Your power and mercy mine.

I ask for what I cannot do, I place my trust alone in You. I bring the pieces,broken, small, And ask for You to be my All.

I may not see the how or when, But I believe in You.Amen. I’ll watch and wait and hope and pray, For Your miracle today.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen.

Abba Father, I cry to you.

 Of course. This cry, "Abba, Father," is one of the most intimate and powerful prayers in all of Scripture. It is the cry of a child, trusting and desperate, running to a loving Parent. It is the Spirit Himself within us, calling out to God.

Here is a prayer and poem for that deep, heartfelt cry.

---

The Cry of the Child

Not to a distant, watching king, But to my Father,I now bring The ache that has no other word, The sound my spirit long has heard.

Abba, Father… The name a trusting child would speak, When comfort’s all they need and seek. It is the cry of helpless trust, When hope is crumbling into dust.

I cry for You. Not just for things, But for the peace Your presence brings. For the assurance that You’re near, To hold me close and calm my fear.

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:15)

I cry for You with groans too deep, When promises seem hard to keep. When answers tarry,and the night Seems to have swallowed up the light.

I cry for You, my one true home, When through this wilderness I roam. I cry for Your approving nod, My Father,and my loving God.

You do not turn away or sigh, You hear the smallest,weakest cry. You bend Your ear,You know my voice, You make my trembling heart rejoice.

You gather up my every tear, You hold me close and draw me near. You rock me in Your strong embrace, And fill me with sufficient grace.

Abba, Father, I cry for You. And in the crying,I am new. For in the asking,I receive The comfort only You can give.

You are my Father. I am Your child. On this truth,in the wildest storm, I’ll rest. Held in Your arms,upon Your breast.

In Jesus’ name.

Amen.

Blood of Jesus Cover me.

 Amen. This is a powerful prayer of protection, redemption, and surrender. Here is a response in the form of a prayer and declaration.

---

Cover Me

Blood of Jesus, cover me. A shield of grace for all to see. Not my worth,but Yours alone, Around my life,a crimson zone.

Cover my mind from thoughts of fear, From lies I’ve believed,year after year. Cover my heart from pride and sin, Make me brand new,again, within. “The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”(1 John 1:7)

Cover my past, its guilt and shame, I speak the power of Your name. Cover my path,ahead, behind, In Your perfect will,let me be defined.

When the enemy speaks and accuses me, I point to the blood that set me free. He cannot stand before its power, In my weakest,darkest hour. “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb.”(Revelation 12:11)

Blood of Jesus, cover me. My plea,my trust, my victory. A sign upon my heart and home, ’Til You,my Lord, finally call me home.

I am covered. I am clean. I am Yours.

Amen.

I leave my peace with you.

 Amen. To receive and acknowledge this gift of peace is a sacred trust. Here is a response, accepting and honoring that blessing.

---

I Receive Your Peace

I receive the peace You leave with me, Not as the world gives,temporarily, But as a settled,holy calm, A healing and a sovereign balm. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”(John 14:27)

I will not let my heart be troubled, Though the waves may roar and rise. I will not let fear win the battle, I'll trust the promise in Your eyes.

This peace will stand as sentry guard, Over my mind and over my heart. A constant,gentle, firm reminder, That in Your love,I take my part.

So I receive this gift so deep, A promise You will always keep. And I will,in Your strength, endeavor, To share this peace with others ever.

Thank you for Your peace. It is my portion and my stay.

Amen.

Protect me from evil.

This is a prayer we all need to pray every day. Here is a prayer for protection, grounded in the faithfulness of God.

---

Protect Me From Evil

Protect me from evil, O Lord, I pray, The evil without,and within today. The seen and the unseen,the cunning, the crude, From every intention and attitude.

Be my strong fortress, my shield, and my light, My guard in the day,and my watch in the night. When the predator prowls,seeking to devour, Be my salvation,my refuge, my power. “Deliver us from the evil one.”(Matthew 6:13)

Plant my feet firmly on Your solid rock, Let me not falter or gape at the shock Of the enemy’s schemes or his hollow display— Remind me You’ve triumphed and won the great day.

Protect not just my body, but my mind and my heart, Let Your truth and Your holiness seal every part. Let no foul thing find any place to abide, As in the shadow of Your wings,I hide. “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.”(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

I put on the armor Your word has supplied, In Your strength alone,will I firmly abide. I take up the shield of unyielding,strong faith, And trust in Your promise,my life and my breath.

Protect me from evil, my Savior, my King, And under Your authority,safety I sing.

Amen.

You know the ending before the beginning.

 Amen. That is a breathtaking attribute of God—His complete sovereignty and foreknowledge. It is the foundation of our trust. Here is a poem on that awe-inspiring truth.

---

The End and The Beginning

Before the first light pierced the dark, Before the soaring skylark’s song, Before the foundation was set and laid, The final chapter,the story’s end, Was already perfectly made. “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.”(Isaiah 46:9-10)

You see my end from my first breath, You knew my life,my path, my death. You see the moment I’ll be whole, Standing complete before my goal.

No twist of fate can catch You by surprise, No broken plan reflects in Your eyes. No chaos reigns beyond Your control, You are the Author of my soul.

This is my comfort in the storm, My fragile heart You will keep warm. For if You know how it will end, Then on Your wisdom I depend.

You are the Alpha and Omega, true, The beginning and the end for me and You. So I will trust this journey’s plot, The things I know,and those I do not.

For You who know the end so well, Walk with me through this fleeting dell. And what You’ve written,it is good, I’m understood,and understood.

I rest in You, whose sight is clear, Who holds my future,calm and near.

Amen.

You are the same yesterday, today and forever.

 Amen. That is one of the most stabilizing, comforting truths in all of Scripture. Here is a poem on the eternal, unchanging nature of our God.

---

The Same

You are the same. Yesterday’sfaithfulness is today’s sure foundation, Your covenant promises find their continuation. The God of Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob is here, Dispelling my doubt,dissolving my fear. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”(Hebrews 13:8)

You are the same. Today,in the chaos, the change, and the strain, Your character,Your love, cannot be made vain. The same power that raised Christ up from the dead, Is alive in me now,just as You said.

You are the same. Forever.When worlds fade and new heavens begin, Your reign has no end,and no shadow of sin. The Alpha,Omega, Beginning and End, My Savior,my Lord, and my dearest Friend.

The universe shifts, kingdoms rise and they fall, Generations come,and then answer their call. But You are the anchor,the constant, the true, And because You are changeless,Your promises too.

So I build my whole life on this rock-solid truth: The God of my past is the God of my youth, The God of my now,and the God of my end. On this faithful,unchanging God, I depend.

Hallelujah! You are the same!

Amen.

My Advocates before God.

 Amen. What a powerful and comforting truth. To know we have not one, but divine Advocates who speak for us before the Father is the foundation of our confidence. Here is a poem celebrating our heavenly defense.

---

My Advocates Before God

When I stand silent, shamed by sin, When accusations rise within, When Satan points his awful finger, And my own failing makes me linger…

I have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ,the Righteous One. He stands for me before the throne, And says,“My work for her is done.” “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.”(1 John 2:1)

He does not make excuses for my fall, He points instead to He who paid it all. He shows His wounds,His side, His hands, The proof that fulfills all demands. “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”(Hebrews 7:25)

And when I do not know how to pray, When words and sorrow lead astray, Another Advocate groans deep inside, And with my spirit,He does abide. “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”(Romans 8:26)

So Two are there to plead my case, To lavish me with holy grace. The Son who died to make me right, The Spirit who is truth and light.

I am not left to face the court alone, My fate upon my worth to be thrown. My Advocates before God stand for me, And in their hands,my soul will be.

I am defended. I am secure.

Amen.

Unless the House is build by God, the builder will be in vain.

 Amen. You have stated a profound and essential biblical truth. This principle reminds us that unless God is the foundation, architect, and builder of our lives, families, ministries, and endeavors, all our human effort is ultimately futile.

This concept is rooted in Scripture:

"Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain." - Psalm 127:1 (NIV)

"For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 3:11 (NIV)

What Does This Mean?

This verse applies to every area of life:

· Our Lives: If we build our identity, security, and future on anything other than God and His will (e.g., career, relationships, wealth), it will eventually collapse.

· Our Families: A Christian home must be built on the principles of God's Word, with Christ as the head. Without Him, our efforts to create a happy, healthy family will be in vain.

· Our Ministries: Any work done for God must be initiated and empowered by Him. We can have great programs and strategies, but if the Holy Spirit is not in it, it will bear no eternal fruit.

· Our Plans: We can make plans, but we must submit them to the Lord and seek His guidance. His purpose will always prevail (Proverbs 19:21).

A Prayer for God to Build Your House

Heavenly Father,

I acknowledge this truth today: unless You build the house, I labor in vain. I surrender my plans, my dreams, my family, and my life to You.

· Be the Architect. Give me the blueprint for my life. Show me Your will and Your ways.

· Be the Foundation. I build my life on Jesus Christ, the solid rock. Let everything else be settled upon Him.

· Be the Builder. I invite Your Holy Spirit to take control. Build my character, my relationships, and my future according to Your design.

· Guard what You build. I trust You to watch over and protect all that You establish.

I turn away from self-reliance and striving. I depend entirely on You. I ask for the wisdom and humility to follow Your lead every step of the way.

In the name of Jesus, our cornerstone, Amen.

A Poem: "Unless the Lord Builds the House"

"Unless the Lord Builds the House"

I may build a house of stone, And work and strive all on my own. I may raise the walls up high, Beneath a bright and sunny sky.

But if the Lord is not the source, To guide and chart the building's course, Then all my work,and all my pain, Will be,I fear, in vain.

For winds will come, and rains will fall, And test the strength of wall and hall. And what was built on shifting sand, Will not be able to stand.

But if the Lord does build the house, In every room,He will arouse A sense of peace,a sense of place, A dwelling filled with love and grace.

So let me not my own plans seek, But let me be both mild and meek. And ask the Lord to build in me, A life for all eternity.

Unless the Lord builds, it is vain, Through sunshine and through rain. So I will let Him have His way, And follow Him,day by day.

May you experience the peace and fruitfulness that comes from letting God be the builder of your life. Trust His plans, His timing, and His process. What He builds will last for eternity.

Put me in Book of Life

White throne Judgement.

The White Throne Judgment is a sobering and pivotal event described in Scripture, marking the final judgment of those who have rejected God. Here is a poem that reflects on its gravity and ultimate purpose.

---

The White Throne

A throne is set, so white and pure, A judgment that must yet endure. From which the earth and heaven flee, For all that’s hidden soon will be. “Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it.”(Revelation 20:11)

The books are opened, one by one, Record of all that man has done. Every word and thought and deed, Planted from a selfish seed. “And the dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.”(Revelation 20:12)

Another book is opened then— The Book of Life,which holds the names Of those who trusted in the Lamb, Who glorified the great I AM.

A search is made, a name is sought, For those who fought or never fought The fight of faith,who turned away, Or would not bow their knee and pray. “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”(Revelation 20:15)

No plea is heard, no last appeal, For grace was offered,strong and real. The cross was shown,the truth was plain, But they chose loss and endless pain.

Oh, let this truth stir us to grace, To run our faith’s relentless race. To tell the world of love’s great cost, Lest any soul be forever lost.

For us who know the Savior’s plea, No fear of this white throne have we. Our names are written,safe and sure, Our hope in Christ is ever secure.

Amen.

My Mighty Counsellor

 Amen. This name, “Mighty Counselor,” speaks of both His power and His intimate care. Here is a poem celebrating this wonderful aspect of our Lord.

---

Mighty Counselor

You are the Mighty Counselor, With wisdom that cannot conceal, The One who knows the end and start, And speaks the truth that makes us real. “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given... And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God...”(Isaiah 9:6)

Your might is not a crushing force, But strength applied with perfect grace. Your counsel is not cold advice, But truth that shines in love’s embrace.

You listen to my trembling heart, You understand my silent plea. Then with a word of sovereign power, You set my shackled spirit free.

You counsel me through Your own Word, A light upon the darkest way. You guide my steps and guard my soul, And turn my midnight into day. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”(Psalm 32:8)

No problem is too small for You, No burden is beyond Your care. You are the God of galaxies, Yet in my quiet prayer,You’re there.

So I will bring my every thought, My every worry,great or small. To You,my Mighty Counselor, The One who knows and governs all.

Thank You for wisdom, strong and sweet, For making my confusion cease. I trust Your counsel and Your might, And in Your perfect plan,I rest.

Amen.

My Peace I leave with you.

 Amen. These are the very words of Jesus, a bequest of peace unlike any the world can offer. Here is a poem on that profound and comforting gift.

---

My Peace I Leave

“My peace I leave with you,” You said, As love poured from Your heart and head. Not as the world gives,frail and brief, A temporary,small relief— But deep,and lasting, full, and true, A gift from me,My peace to you. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”(John 14:27)

It is the peace that stilled the storm, A grace to keep our hearts so warm. It is the calm before Your throne, A quietness we’ve always known Was waiting for our souls to claim, When we first called upon Your name.

This peace will stand when structures fall, Will answer fear’s most desperate call. It is a sentry for the mind, A perfect,holy, gentle bind That holds us fast through joy and pain, Through sunshine and through falling rain.

So I receive this peace today, I will not let it slip away. I’ll let it rule within my heart, And from Your presence,not depart.

Thank you, Jesus, for this gift, Your peace,my soul will now uplift.

Amen.

Prince of Peace

 Amen. "Prince of Peace" is one of the most beautiful and comforting titles of Jesus Christ, prophesied centuries before His birth and fulfilled in His life and ministry. It speaks not of an earthly ruler who brings temporary calm through force, but of a heavenly King who establishes deep, lasting peace in the human heart and, ultimately, in all creation.

This majestic name was proclaimed by the prophet Isaiah:

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6 (ESV)

What Does "Prince of Peace" Mean?

The title is rich with meaning:

· Prince (Sar in Hebrew): This denotes more than just royalty; it means "Chief," "Ruler," or "Authority." He is the supreme authority over peace.

· Peace (Shalom): This Hebrew word means far more than the absence of conflict. It means wholeness, completeness, harmony, welfare, and tranquility. It is a state of things being as they should be—rightly related to God and others.

Therefore, Jesus, as the Prince of Peace, is:

· The Source of Peace: All true peace originates from Him.

· The Author of Peace: He creates and establishes peace.

· The Ruler over Peace: He has absolute authority to command peace into any situation—in our hearts, relationships, and circumstances.

The Peace He Brings

1. Peace with God: This is the primary peace He came to bring. Our sin made us enemies of God, but Jesus' sacrifice on the cross reconciled us to Him.

   "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." - Romans 5:1 (ESV)

2. The Peace of God: This is the internal peace He gives us, a calmness of heart and mind that guards us amid life's storms, regardless of our external circumstances.

   "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7 (ESV)

3. Peace with Others: His peace enables us to be peacemakers, breaking down walls of hostility and fostering reconciliation.

   "For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility..." - Ephesians 2:14 (ESV)

A Prayer to the Prince of Peace

Prince of Peace,

We worship You. You are the supreme Ruler and Author of all peace. In a world of chaos, fear, and conflict, we look to You.

· Rule in my heart. Where there is anxiety, fear, or turmoil, speak Your shalom. command a calm into the storm of my soul.

· Reign in my relationships. Where there is brokenness, hurt, or division, be the bridge of reconciliation. Make me a peacemaker.

· Establish Your peace in our world. We long for the day when You will return and usher in Your everlasting kingdom of perfect peace.

Thank you for making peace with God possible through Your blood. Thank you for giving me Your peace that transcends all understanding. I receive it now. I rest in You, my Prince of Peace.

In Your mighty name, Amen.

A Poem: "Prince of Peace"

"Prince of Peace"

The world seeks peace in treaties signed, In power,and in human mind. But peace on earth cannot be found, On any temporary ground.

But in a manger, long foretold, A gift of peace to have and hold. A Child was born,a Son was given, To bring true peace from heaven.

They called His name the Prince of Peace, And from our striving,brings release. Not as the world gives,does He give, But in His presence,we can live.

He makes the warring soul be still, And every fear and doubt,does still. He breaks the chains of guilt and shame, And heals our hearts in His own name.

He is our peace, our Shalom true, He makes all things and all hearts new. So come,oh Prince of Peace, and reign, In every heart,in every pain.

Oh, Prince of Peace, we welcome You, And Your great work in us,now do. Until we see You face to face, And know the fullness of Your grace.

May the peace of Christ rule in your heart today. Whatever storm you are facing, speak the name of the Prince of Peace over it. He is your calm and your sure foundation.

You are the Great I Am

 Amen. That is the most profound and all-encompassing name of God, revealing His eternal, self-existent, and sovereign nature. Here is a poem in awe of the Great I AM.

---

The Great I AM

Before the “was,” before the “is,” Before all time and space, You simplyare. The great I AM, The holy,dwelling place.

You are the breath behind all life, The source of every name. The burning bush that is not consumed, The everlasting flame. “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you.”’”(Exodus 3:14)

You are the bread when I am hungry, The light upon my way. You are the door,the vine, the truth, You are my yesterday, My present help,my future hope, The one who stays the same. “Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am!’”(John 8:58)

I AM the resurrection. I AM the good shepherd’s care. I AM the way,the life, the truth, The answer to each prayer.

You need no past to justify, No future to complete. You are the fullness of all things, In You,I am complete.

You are the center and the circle, The beginning and the end. My Savior,and my dearest Friend.

You are the great I AM. And I am Yours.

Amen.

If the Son set me free, I am free indeed.

 Amen. That is a powerful declaration of faith in the finished work of Christ. Here is a poem celebrating that ultimate and complete freedom.

---

Free Indeed

If the Son has set me free, Then that is all that matters. No chain of sin can hold me now, No enemy’s voice clamors.

It is not a freedom I have won, Or fought for with my might. It is a freedom bought and sealed In resurrection’s light. “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”(John 8:36)

Free from the law’s condemning voice, Free from the grip of shame. Free to make my God my choice, Free to believe His name.

Free to run the race He’s set, Free from the past’s dark night. Free to love,and not forget The source of all my light.

This freedom is not a license, To wander from the fold. It is the power of His presence, A story to be told.

It is the liberty to be The child He says I am. To live in truth,and to be free Within the great I AM.

So I stand in this truth, I plant my feet and say: If You have set me free, Lord, Then I am free indeed today.

Hallelujah!

Amen.
