Please hold me, Lord. You are the Keeper of my soul.

“The Lord is your Keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.” ~ Psalm 121:5-8, NKJV

“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from Me, for my Father has given them to Me, and He is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.” ~ John 10:28-29, NLT

“For the mountains may move
    and the hills disappear,
but even then My faithful love for you will remain.
    My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”
    says the Lord, who has mercy on you.” ~ Isaiah 54:10, NLT

“casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” ~ 1 Peter 5:7, AMP

It is in You, Lord, that I live and move and have my being

Father, You are the Keeper of my soul — my provider, my protector, my sure place. You will not allow my foot to be moved; You who keep me will not slumber. You watch over me day and night — no weapon formed against me will ever prosper.

Thank You, Lord. It is in You that I live, and move, and have my being — You are a shield about me, You surround me with songs of deliverance as I call upon Your mighty Name. I know I am safe. I know I am secure in You, the Keeper of my soul, who preserves me.

Oh Keeper of my soul, in Your presence is where I want to be

I love the warmth and security of Your presence … of Your love. In the quiet, I am reminded of who You are to me and who I am to You. In solitude, Your voice is clear, and serenity settles upon me. You have opened the eyes of my heart to recognize You as You draw near to hold me in my distress or to revel in my praise. I’m so appreciative.

I love Your presence, Lord … the knowledge that I am not alone. I think of You as the clouds billow across the mountain ridge. I’m reminded that the clouds are the dust of Your feet as You race across the heavens at the sound of my cry. I feel Your breath as the gentle breeze brushes across my face or the mighty wind accompanies me along my country road.

The Keeper of my soul is Your Name, Lord

And as silly as it seems, I love those moments when I sense You winking as You do something, usually something simple, that lets me know I am on Your mind. What amazing love! How can it be that the Creator of the Universe knows my name?

I am Your child, and You are my God, the Keeper of my soul. I bless Your holy Name.

In the Name of Jesus, I pray,

Amen ~ let it be so.
