[Music] remember 2 Thessalonians 3:3 but the Lord is faithful who will establish you and guard you from the evil one remember Deuteronomy 31:6 be strong and of good courage do not fear nor be afraid of them for the Lord your God he is the one who goes with you he will not leave you nor forsake you when you face the evil Day psalm 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble I once heard a story told about a man who witnessed a major accident on a highway there were multiple
cars involved and this man witnessed the accident happening in real time one car going into the back of another now all the while as this was happening the driver was no longer paying attention to where he was going his Focus was on the disaster happening and not on navigating his way away from the disaster and as he was distracted with all that was going on he too went into to the back of a car because he wasn't paying attention now many Christians are in this world but they're distracted with what's going on around them they
are distracted by this world the Bible says in Matthew 26: 41 keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation the spirit is willing but the body is weak the word of God tells us to watch to focus and pay attention to what's going on yes but it also says keep praying continue praying so that you would not lose your focus as Christians we are not to focus on the sickness in this world we shouldn't be focusing on the different strains and diseases out there no our focus should be on the Healer
we should focus on the chief physician the one who healed anyone and everyone who had a Measure of Faith as Christians we're not to focus on the violence taking place in the world don't focus on the tragedies and disasters that are happening all around the world instead focus on the ultimate protector ensure that you abide under the shadow of the almighty and in short what I'm telling you to do is focus on Jesus focus on the Prince of Peace rather than focusing on the dread and the fear that's offered to you by the world focus
on the deliverer Jesus Christ rather than the sin because ultimately focusing on the sin will not set you free what will set you free is focusing on Jesus listen if you choose to focus on the addiction that you have if you focus on that stronghold that you have or the bondage that you're under what do you think will get bigger what you focus on you magnify and what you focus on will get bigger when Peter was walking on water do you know what made him sink he took his eyes he took his Focus away from
God Matthew 14: 28 through 30 says and Peter answered him and said Lord if it is you command me to come to you on the water so he said come and when Peter had come down out of the boat he walked on the water to go to Jesus but when he saw that the wind was boisterous he was afraid and beginning to sink he cried out saying Lord save me the Bible says when he saw that the wind was boisterous he was afraid when you begin to focus on everything happening around you when you begin
to look at everything going on around the world you will be left in fear but should you focus on Jesus should you focus on the Prince of Peace then you will be blessed you will remain joyful and hopeful even in the midst of trouble now let us go to the Lord together in prayer dear Lord help us to keep our focus on you father help us to remain fixated on your word so that we would not drift and end up going in the same direction as the world holy spirit would you help us to devote
ourselves to doing God's work holy spirit stir us up so that we can focus on that which is eternal and pleasing to the Lord L help us to meditate on God's word every day I pray that you would give us scripture to feed on a verse to focus on and to dwell on so that our faith and focus would remain firmly on Christ I pray for everyone under the sound of my voice may they be drawn to seek your face Lord Jesus may they be drawn to your secret place I pray that every man and
woman of God who is listening right now will be covered protected secured defended shielded and hidden by your Shadow father I pray in the name of Jesus that we would be hidden from the sight of evil the devil will not be able to lay a hand on us or our families because we are protected by God Almighty may we find you Lord Jesus to be our safe place our peaceful Sanctuary God may your presence reside in our homes in our hearts and our minds I pray for every son and daughter of God who is in
agreement with me right now when the storm seems endless in our lives may you grant us Supernatural strength even if the enemy tries to steal our joy may he fail and be crushed by the angel of the Lord which encamps all around those who fear you I pray for an overwhelming peace and divine joy to sit right at the center of our hearts for anyone who is uneasy may the Lord calm your spirit I decree and declare that it is well with your soul it is well in your home and in your life it is
well with you child of God May the Holy Spirit Grant you boldness and courage may you stand strong and firm in faith I pray that you will not be found to be fearful in any area of your life you won't be found to have any worry or anxiety in your life in Jesus name father we claim your word and we say surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life I have victory in the name of Jesus I have victory over any mountains over any Giants over any obstacles that have been
set by the enemy I want to thank you for the power that I can access through your blood it's the power that allows me to overcome daily to be blessed daily to wake up in your grace and in your mercies each day Lord we choose to trust in in you each day each hour each moment of Our Lives we trust in you you gave your life on the cross to set me free Psalm 91:2 says I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my Fortress my God in whom I trust Lord I
confess this to be true in our lives as Believers in Jesus Christ God God you are our refuge indeed you are our Hiding Place Lord we bless your name we give you the honor the glory and the praise in Jesus name we pray this prayer and give you thanks amen and Peter answered him and said Lord if it is you command me to come to you on the water so he said come and when Peter had come down out of the boat he walked on the water to go to Jesus but when he saw that
the wind was boisterous he was afraid and beginning to sink he cried out saying Lord save me keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation the spirit is willing but the body is [Music] weak I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my Fortress my God in whom I trust remember 2 Thessalonians 3:3 but the Lord is faithful who will establish you and guard you from the evil one remember Deuteronomy 31:6 be strong and of good courage do not fear nor be afraid of them for the Lord your
