Why Art Thou Cast Down?

DAY 3 OF 3

He Lifts Up My Head.

‭‭ “But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.” Psalms‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Lord is my Shield. The Lord is my Comforter. The Lord is my Peace and He Lifts up my head. When I am down, He comforts me. When I am afraid, He shields me. When I am in trouble, He protects me. He is the Lifter of my head. 

Psalms‬ ‭27:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.” When the enemy comes to eat up your flesh — The Lord will protect you and cause him to fall. “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.” Psalms‬ ‭91:2-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Don’t let the kingdom of darkness weigh you down — use the Word of God to command the enemy to flee. Don’t let depression weigh you down. Don’t let bitterness harden your heart. Use His Word to conquer the enemy — in every area of your life. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, there is none like You in all of Heaven and in all of the Earth. 

Father, my heart surrenders to You. Father, every aspect of my life surrenders to You. Lord, You are my Shield and my Buckler. You comfort me. You Protect me. Father, You Shield me from my adversaries. You are my Fortress. No one can be compared to You. 

Depression cannot defeat You. Heaviness cannot overtake You. Father, You are my ever exceeding and great Joy. You are my Shield and Comfort and in You, I put my trust.
