Day 11- Presence - He Comforts Me
- God's Word
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. Psalms 23:4-6 (NLT)
- Today’s Thought
We heard someone once say, life is short, be intentional. Life is long; stay encouraged. Those four statements are so incredibly true and powerful to remember when we face difficulties in life, whether it's the unexpected loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, a bad medical report, or a disappointment we experience in a relationship.
King David reminds us that God's presence is with us. He walks with us through the darkest valleys we face. God is always present in our lives to protect, comfort, and strengthen us. The good news is that we can walk through the difficulties of life with confidence and assurance that God is not only with us, but He will always see us through to the other side. Remember, God's goodness and unfailing love pursue us all the days of our lives. Be reminded today that God, our shepherd, is all we need as we face the difficult seasons of life.
As we continue to pray this prayer of blessing over family, friends, and our future, let's pray that God's presence will comfort us.
- My Prayer
May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace. Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT)
Lord, thank you for your abiding presence in my life. As my shepherd, I ask that you give me the strength to face the challenges that come against my family and me. Thank you for your goodness and unfailing love you have shown over and over again in my life. Today, I ask that you guide and lead me through the difficult situations I may encounter. I also pray your presence is sensed and felt in my family today as they go about their day and cross paths with others. Reveal yourself to my loved ones and me both in big or small ways that you are with us, and you are all we need. In Jesus' name, amen!
About this Plan
For 20 years, Michelle's father, Dr. Rod Masteller, used "5 P's" taken from the prayer of Aaron to serve as a daily guide to pray God's blessings over his life, family, and friends. In his honor, we have written this devotional as a framework to help you focus on praying for God's provision, protection, presence, power, and peace.
