When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles (Psalms 34:17 Amplified)

GOD IS our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble (Psalms 46:1 Amplified)

Lord, today I give you thanks…today I give you praise for You are the love of My life and the truth that sets me free. I set my affections on things above and choose not to believe any negative past or present circumstance has the power to determine the outcome of my life. I look to You, the author and finisher of my faith, not anything or anyone else. I will not allow the enemy of my soul to cause me to focus my attention on myself, my past failures or successes. My focus is on You Lord. I choose to not be distracted by my own mistakes or abilities to succeed. I recognize that distraction is a big weapon the enemy desires to use against me. I will not allow myself to become overburdened with activities, especially religious ones.

My heart’s desire is to draw close to You and nothing else. I will not allow our intimacy to be robbed by being too busy to spend time with You Lord. I close my eyes to the distractions around me. I praise You as I receive help from on high. I come and rest in the all-sufficiency of Your name and in Your Word. It is not by might or by power but by Your Spirit that all things are accomplished. Therefore, I come into rest.

Lord, I so desire for you to peel away the layers of lies and deceptions I have believed which hide or overshadow the truth about my life and the beauty You have already deposited in me. May all wrong self-perception be removed from the eyes of my heart. I do not want to see myself in negative ways, nor do I want to see myself through rose colored glasses when it comes to the attitudes and motives of my heart. However, I do want to see myself as You do, born again in Christ of incorruptible seed. My past failed attempts to overcome have no bearing on the future unless I embrace them instead of embracing the Word of Truth.

I am changing and growing daily in knowledge and understanding of the Lord. My heart is being transformed into the likeness of the Lord in all I do and say. Progress is being made moment by moment. I dwell in the overshadowing Presence of the Lord at all times. He is my covering. The enemy of my soul is a liar. My soul is being sanctified daily as I submit myself to the Lord. I am in Him and He is in me always.

Lord, you are the Light of the world and the Light of my heart. You never shift or change. There is no shadow of turning in You; therefore, when You came to dwell in Me, the complete Light of Your Presence came without variation. You are with me and for me in the good and the bad without variance, for You are constant and steady. You do not faint or grow weary and Your help is ever-present and ever-ready to be taken advantage of. My help truly comes from You.

Let the creeks, rivers and streams of Your heart cascade Your help into my life with abundance and hope. I praise You in my need for it is an opportunity to experience the goodness of Your heart in the drought places of my heart. You never cease releasing Your ever-flowing fountain of grace and mercy. How wonderful You truly are. There is none like You.

Today and every day after, I position myself to receive from the river of Your heart all that it provides. It is Your help continually flowing into my life every day which sustains me. Thank You for carving new riverbeds for the life giving waters to flow in and through me. As a tree planted by the river, my leaves will never wither. Thank You for being my ever-present help, flowing deeply within me right now and for all eternity.

Lord, I praise You that You have made it possible for me to take all You have offered regardless of the situation. Your help is not situational when it comes to the Believer. I am born again. I am a child of the Father. This is what matters. Even when I am acting unbecoming and sometimes rebellious, Your love never changes. You are attentive to the sound of My voice. Not only are You always near to me, You are in me, Christ the hope of all glory. As I draw near to You in my thoughts and actions, You draw near to me in visible and manifest ways. As the leaves of a tree respond to the winds and sing a rustling song, so my heart responds to the movement of Your Spirit.

Lord, you have sent ministering angels…breakthrough angels on my behalf to do Your will. You have answered every “Help Wanted” sign I have cried out to You. As we walk together…as I walk with You…abide in You, the darkness around me will be permeated with Your light. Together we will light up the darkness. The work of the Cross is finished and the resurrection life of Christ is in me, for I am an overcomer for the Overcomer truly lives in me. No setback, no hindrance, no problem…not even death can separate me from the finished, revelatory work of the Cross. My heart is open to the nearness of the Lord and is attentive to the sound of His voice. I have drawn near to the Lord and He has drawn near to me. Amen…Read Accompanying Love Letter
