Protected-Job 5:21

Do you live with phobias that cause you to be fearful, insecure, or uncertain? Are you in need of protection and deliverance from mental disorders that drown you in fear? Doomsday talkers and doomsday thinkers are all around you, however, there is a God in heaven who is a protector of those that obey Him. This does not mean that He will absolve you from bad things happening to you just because you are a believer. The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 11 that he suffered beatings and near death experiences several times. He was put in prison for his faith in Jesus Christ. He received 39 lashes from the Jews five times and was beaten with rods by the Romans. Was stoned by his enemies. Faced constant dangers from rivers, thieves, his own loved ones, and Gentiles that hated him. He faced dangers when traveling in the open country and was shipwrecked three times in the open sea. He suffered physical pain and went without sleep, food and water for many days. Lacked clothing and slept in the cold. Even though Paul suffered incredible hardships and faced catastrophes in life, he knew that God was his protector. You may be going through a hard time in your life right now, but know this, God is your divine protector and nothing can happen to you that He does not allow. You may be knocked down, but you are never knocked out. Refuse to focus on the negatives that surround you; forget the old things behind you;

concentrate on the glorious things in front of you; think upon Jesus who is all around you!

Promise of divine protection

You’ll be protected from vicious gossip and live fearless through any catastrophe. You’ll shrug off disaster and famine, and stroll fearlessly among wild animals. Job 5:21-22 MSG

 

Prayer of protection

God is my protection. Everlasting Father, You are my fortress, and my strong tower, in whom I trust. Thank You for caring about my spiritual, mental and physical welfare. Fill me with the peace of Jesus when people gossip about me or say things to try and discourage me. Teach me to be a fearless Christian who trusts in You and does not lose faith when I face trials or face earthly disaster. In Jesus' name I pray
