But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
Psalm 3:3, ESV
There are many things in this world that can harm us, whether persecution, illness, tragedy, or worries.
Let us pray to God who can save our souls and encourage our hearts and minds.
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

We want to give more. We want to be good stewards.
We must sow bountifully in prayer before we sow in generosity and love well.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16, ESV
Many come against the gospel and those who share it faithfully, but we should pray we remain unashamed of the truth and faithful to our Savior and God.
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9, ESV
Temptations and persecutions come to God’s faithful, but God is on our side.
Let us pray for all those who face persecution daily, and lift up those under spiritual attack daily.
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
1 Chronicles 16:34, ESV
We do not understand God’s live, and we are rarely grateful for His grace and faithfulness.
Give thanks to God for loving us more than we can know!
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:3-4, ESV
We like to think highly of ourselves, yet this vast universe reminds us how insignificant we are.
And yet God still loves us and has made a way for us to be with Him when we trust in the work of Christ.
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3, ESV
We like to think we’re indestructible or that “it won’t happen to me.”
Bad things can happen to all of us, and we face an end to this life. Our faithful God has lifted us up in Christ, and He fights for us with the Holy Spirit.
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age
Titus 2:11-12, ESV
We like to do what we want.
God calls us to live for others, seeking His righteousness and loving others like Jesus, turning from our selfish ways to Spirit-led life.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein
Psalm 24:1, ESV
We like to think we are our own, but everything belongs to God. If we want to be our own master, He will give us what we want, but it is infinitely better to be part of His redeemed.
