King Jesus, You are my refuge and fortress. You are my shelter and keeper. Your truth is my shield and buckler. You will deliver me from the slings and arrows of the enemy. Lord, I trust Your Word. I rely on Your promises. I stand in Your strength and pray in Your precious and mighty name, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.’ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.” (Psalm 91: 1-6 NKJV)
