Savior of My Soul

 Prayer Song © 2011 S.D. Harden All Rights Reserved

O, I will trust the living God,
The Savior of my soul-
I may not understand His ways
But He is in control.

My path may be obscure
And in the darkness lie,
But I will hope in Jesus
Who holds me in His eye.

He will not forget me
For I have been engraved
Upon His holy hands;
For Him my soul is saved.

For Him I am redeemed,
For Him I am reserved;
For Him I am a trophy
Of His grace to be preserved.

And though I sit in darkness
With trees that will not bud,
I have a promise from the Lord
That spring will surely come.

Though winter struts along
Like it will never end;
It’s just a giant’s shadow~
The spring He soon will send.

God’s promises are sure
Though I must walk by faith;
Such wonder in believing;
Such hope it generates!

Oh I will trust the living God,
The Savior of my soul;
O Lord, you know the paths I take,
For You are in control.

Yes, You are in control;
You know what’s best for me;
You’ve set apart unto Your heart
Those who will but believe.

And you will keep your promises
To those who trust in You
Though they may not understand 
The mysteries of Truth.
 
Though I sit in darkness
On a path I had not planned
I will trust I am engraved 
Upon Your holy hand.
 
And You will keep Your promises,
For You are in control,
O You will not forget me,
O Savior of my soul.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance that You are always in control of all things. Thy word says in Psalm 103:19, "The Lord has prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom rules over all," and in Hebrews 1:3 that You "uphold all things by the word of Your power."

Romans 8:8 assures me that every detail of my life is being orchestrated by You into something grand and beautiful and for my ultimate good because You care very much about each one of us. 
Psalm 138:8 promises that You will "fulfill Your plans for my life." So I don't need to worry about whether or not I am going to accomplish Your will for me. You will get me on the path I need to be on. And all I need to do is Trust You.

Lord, though it is so difficult sometimes, please help each of us to trust You when we cannot see past the bend in the road, when we cannot fathom Your purposes for us in the path we are on. Help us to trust You when nothing makes sense. Help us to keep our eyes on You anyway; to know that You are in control and that You cherish each of us beyond what we could ever imagine or believe.

May the sense of Your abiding presence sustain every person praying this prayer. May they feel You with them as they never have before. May You renew their faith, fill them with new hope, and give them joy.

Thank You, dear Lord, I love You, In Jesus' name. Amen.

God's Faithful Promises

Psalm 97:10 

"Let those who love the Lord hate evil.

He guards the lives of those who are faithful to Him.

He saves them from the power of sinful people."

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are our Guardian God and have promised in Psalm 121:8  that You will "guard my going out and my coming in from now until forever."

You have promised in Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord."

Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, You promise in John 10:27 that we will be able to hear Thy voice: "My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me."

Lord, You promise to give us "eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one." (John 28-29)

Lord Jesus, You promised that You will never ever reject any soul that comes to You seeking help. (John 6:37) "Those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them."

Lord, Your word promises that even though we may have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, that You will be right there with us, you will never leave or forsake us. 

(Psalm 23:4) Your word even says that we are engraved on the very palms of Thy hands! (Isaiah 49:16)

In the book of Zephaniah 3:17, Lord, Thy word says, "For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” 

Thank You, Lord, for such beautiful promises of Your love and protection.

May we ever thank and praise You for these eternal promises. For, Lord Jesus, You said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will never pass away." 

Lord Jesus ,You are eternally faithful and keep every promise forever! Your last words to Your disciples before You ascended into Heaven were, (Matthew 28:20) "... I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” 

Thank You, Lord, for Your abiding Presence, faithful love, and powerful protection always guarding us. May we trust You more and more as we put our faith and hope in Your holy word which cannot lie. We love You, Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen.
