"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance."  (Psalm 32:7)

"By day the LORD directs his [covenant] love, at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.(" Psalm 42:8) 

The God of your life sings over you as a mother soothes and comforts a child. In his arms, he surrounds you with songs of deliverance as you are led through strongholds of fear and anxiety to a place of safety, assurance, and confidence in him. 

In any trouble, you can sing under the wings of the Most High in harmony with his songs. 

You can tell others of your confidence in God's name and his faithfulness. Your name is ever before him in heaven on a scroll of remembrance. He acts on your behalf, just because you are his. He will rescue you as a compassionate father spares an obedient child. 

    

Live in the power and authority of his spiritual victory as the "God-of-Angel-Armies".  He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). You have abiding safety in the Commander of the armies of heaven. His love covers you completely. His defense of you is invulnerable and never ceases. He is your defended place. Run to him as your safe place. His nearness is your good. You have undisturbed fearlessness as you settle down and make your home in him. He prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies. 

Believe and receive his unfailing perfect covenant love that casts out fear (1 John 4:18). Take this deep into your spirit and life-experience. You have his faithful promises that you are secure in his protecting presence. You can rest totally depending on the character of God. Be blessed to trust in the All-sufficient One who is enough. Be blessed to see what God is doing in your life that is a stepping stone to more of Jesus. 

Jesus is your shield of faith. 

In Jesus nothing can destroy your joy, your hope, your relationships, your witness, or God's purposes. And the God of peace will soon crush satan under his feet.

"Be blessed in the name of the one who will never forsake you, as he says to you:  So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.  (Isaiah 41:10,13)

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:6,8)
