Victory In Christ

“Lord, You are my secure shelter. Don’t ever let me down! Let Your justice be my breakthrough. Bend low to my whispered cry and save me from all my enemies! You’re the only place of protection for me. I keep coming back to hide myself in You, for You are like a mountain-cliff fortress where I’m kept safe.

Save me from the hands of the evil one. For You are my only hope, Lord! I’ve hung on to You, trusting in You all my life. It was You who supported me from the day I was born, loving me, helping me through my life’s journey. You’ve made me into a miracle; no wonder I trust You and praise You forever! No matter what, I’ll trust in You to help me. Nothing will stop me from praising You! I couldn’t begin to count the times You’ve been there for me. I’ll never run out of things to say about how You faithfully kept me from danger. I will come forth in Your mighty strength, O my Lord God. I’ll tell everyone that You alone are the perfect one. From my childhood You’ve been my teacher, and I’m still telling everyone of Your miracle-wonders! 

“God, now that I’m old and gray, don’t walk away. Give me grace to demonstrate to the next generation all Your mighty miracles and Your magnificent power! For Your glorious righteousness reaches up to the high heavens. No one could ever be compared to You! Who is Your equal, O God of marvels and wonders? Even though You’ve let us sink down with trials and troubles, I know You will revive us again, lifting us up from the dust of death. Your faithful heart toward us will be the theme of my song. Melodies and music will rise to You, the Holy One of Israel. I will shout and sing Your praises for all You are to me — Savior, lover of my soul! I’ll never stop telling others how perfect You are, while all those who seek my harm slink away ashamed and defeated” ~~ Psalms 71 (TPT edited).
