“But you, O 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.

(I was discouraged this morning, and a dear friend prayed for me. I listened to some music that was shared, and now the Lord has lifted me up. He will do that for those who come to him. He is the lifter of my soul. Amen.)

“I come in like a flood of water,” says the Lord.

“I come in, and I lift my servants up. I lift them up. Come to me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Rest from the storm. Rest from the cares of ordinary life.

Though the mountains shall quake and the seas shall roar, yet those who put their faith and trust in me shall triumph. They shall triumph against the enemy, and the chains of discouragement will be broken.

Whenever you, My children, are downcast, I can lift your spirit up.

For I can reach in to your inner man and touch that place that needs to be brought forth. My words and my spirit are strength to your bones.

The enemy comes to cast you down, but I come to raise you up.

I AM the lifter of my people. Don’t look to circumstances, but look to me. For the air and the atmosphere will be lifted up in my name,”

says the Lord.
