•A Prayer for God to Move in My Life•By Anthony Valente👉 “But you, oh Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the Lord, and He answered me from His holy hill." (Psalm 3:3-4)Our society loves to give labels to people. Those labels tell us who that person is, while also indicating what that person believes and even how they will act. God is not exempt from those labels. God has been labeled as love, distant, fearful and generous to name a few. These labels of God are all based on our understanding of Him, our experience with Him and our perception of Him based on who or what has influenced us.What is amazing about the Bible is that sometimes a verse will clearly tell us who God is and how He acts in our lives. We see these labels for God and it absolutely influences our understanding of who God is. This verse does exactly that. It tells us four things that the Lord does in our lives. He is a shield about me. He is my glory. He is the lifter of my head. He answers me.God is a shield about me. No matter what we are going through, the Lord is on His holy hill. He knows and sees our heart, hopes, and dreams. He sees those around us who intend harm, who are trying to destroy our hope, focus, and dreams. He protects us from the arrows, those hurtful words and actions of our enemy. Those arrows will not destroy us. We are surrounded by God’s shield. He is my glory. The favor and applause of man is inconsistent and temporary. Placing our hope in man’s approval is volatile and without any guarantees, instead we can hold our heads high, knowing that we belong to God. He is the one we can find our significance in. In Him we can find the acceptance, the praise and the recognition that we need. He is the lifter of my head. God will move in every situation of our lives. God will move against our enemies. He will not let us drown in shame, discouragement, depression or hopelessness. He will be with us as we move away from the sadness and discouragement that our enemies cause us. He will rescue us from all the traps that our enemies are trying to set. He lifts our head to a life of peace, joy and hope. He will give us the victory.He hears my prayers. This verse leaves us with such an amazing promise in its last words: I cried aloud to the Lord and He answered me. Our cries for help, our cries for deliverance, and every time we cry out to the Lord, He hears our prayers. Every prayer. He does not turn a deaf ear to our cries for help, healing, provision, wisdom or love. He hears every single prayer you offer. Not only does He hear, but He will answer each prayer in His perfect way and His perfect timing. These things that God is doing in your life are absolutely amazing. The more you turn your eyes to Him, the more you will begin to see Him protecting you and answering your prayers. Today can you cry out to Him for all the things you are going through, and wait and see how He will answer your prayer? He can be trusted to be your shield, your glory, the lifter of your head and to answer your prayers. Let’s pray.🙏 Dear Lord,Hear my cry! Protect me! Shield me from the arrows that my enemies send my way, rescue me from this struggle I am going through, deliver me from this sadness at the things in my life that break my heart. Hear my prayer. Answer my prayer. Be the lifter of my head. May my life reflect Your love, joy and peace that all those around me see how great You are! Thank You, Lord Jesus. I trust and love you Lord Jesus.AMEN 🙏 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.(Isaiah 26:3)And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.(Romans 8:28)Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.(Ephesians 3:20)And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.(Psalm 27:6)The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.(Psalm 28:7)No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.(1 Corinthians 10:13)The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.(Isaiah 60:19)I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.(Psalm 34:4)Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!(Psalm 43:3)In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.(Proverbs 16:9)When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.(Psalm 91:15)Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 3:13-14)“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”(Psalm 46:10)“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.(John 14:1-6)While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.(Hebrews 5:7)Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory.(Mark 13:26)(pic verse)For it pleased the Father for all the fullness [of deity—the sum total of His essence, all His perfection, powers, and attributes] to dwell [permanently] in Him (the Son),(Colossians 1:19)Artist 👨‍🎨 I Am With You Always - David Delfeld
