I Say To Myself

I say to myself today, "I am a child of the Most High God. I am blessed and cannot be cursed. I am blessed when I come in. I am blessed when I go out. God has a good plan for me and a future that I can look forward to. With God I will live life to the full. Because the Lord is my shepherd I shall not be in want. He will supply all my needs. His grace is sufficient for me. He will give me more than what I ask or imagine. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell with God forever. I will bless my God forever and will never forget His blessings."

I say to myself today, "Because I love God He will rescue me and protect me from all harm. He will be with me in trouble and will deliver me. Because I have made Him my refuge, no harm will befall me. No disaster will come near me. God is my refuge and my fortress. I trust in Him. I will not be anxious for anything. I cast all my cares on Him because He cares for me. I will not let my heart be troubled or fearful. For God is my strength, and I trust in Him. Thank you God for commanding your angels to guard me in all my ways. Thank you Lord for promising to deliver me from all my troubles."

I say to myself today, "If God is for me, who can be against me? Why should I fear when God is with me? He will be with me in trouble and will ultimately deliver me from it. God uses trouble only to strengthen my faith and deepen my trust in Him. When His purposes are fulfilled, He will order the trouble to leave me. I will never be alone. Thank you God for promising to stay with me always, especially in trouble. Even when I walk towards death I will not fear, for I know that You are with me. I will not be intimidated by the difficulties in life, for I know that You have overcome the world, and as I am in You, I too have overcome the world. In fact I am more than a conqueror and I can do all things through Christ. Nothing is impossible for me when God is with me."
