I Will Arise

"Now I will arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy. I will set him in safety and the salvation for which he pants." - Psalm 12:5 (AMP)
"Unless the Lord had been my help, I would soon have dwelt in the land of silence. When I said, 'My foot is slipping' Your mercy and lovingkindness, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my anxious thoughts, Your comforts cheer and delight my soul." -Psalm 94:17-19 (AMP)
In the midst of my anxious thoughts, O Lord, remind me of who You've been and who You've promised to be for Your children. You will arise and be victorious.
Because of this, I do not need to be afraid or anxious. When I'm afraid, I can trust in You. Help me trust, remember, and have faith in You as I recall Your words from Phillipian 4:6, "Do not fret or be anxious about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants and needs known to God."

Lord, take the pain of my anxiousness and turn it to thanksgiving and joy because I know You are in control and You are the Protector, Refuge, and Strong Tower of Your children. Thank you for what You are going to do.
