guide, and protect you. Seek Him, and you will find Him.
WHATEVER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, be sure that God watches
over you. Because He loves you, and since God Himself is love,
you can be condent that you are never out of His sight, nor His
loving concern.
How can you make yourself believe this? First, repeat it to
yourself. Repetition is a powerful method of persuading the mind
to accept a truth. Epictetus called it the most classical of all
studies. It brings about acceptance.
Thank God constantly for watching over you and protecting
you. After every journey, thank Him for His protecting care. In
every di-cult situation, thank Him for seeing you through.
Visualize your loved ones as always being protected by the
everlasting arms, and supported by the great hand of God. In this
way, you will be sending out protecting and guiding thoughts
that God will use for their protection. Help God to protect your
loved ones and yourself.
A technique is to commit to memory many of the
following Bible passages that deal with the protective love of
God. Every day, repeat them to yourself, meditating upon them
with gratitude.
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call
upon Him in truth.
(Psalm145:18)Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall
direct thy paths.
(Proverbs 3:5,6)In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do
unto me.
(Psalm 56:11)Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that
He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for
He careth for you.
(I Peter 5:6,7)If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea; Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right
hand shall hold me.
