A Psalm For Any Situation

Psalms 91

1.  He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2.  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3.  Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4.  He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5.  You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;

6.  Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7.  A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

8.  Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9.  Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;

10.  There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

11.  For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

12.  They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13.  You shall tread on the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.

14.  Because he has set his love on me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

15.  He shall call on me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

16.  With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

I have been having a lot of requests for prayer for fear and depression. I felt led of the Lord to post this Psalm tonight for someone that needs it. I read this Psalm almost every day. If you are suffering from fear, depression, challenges, problems, negative circumstances, or sickness, this Psalm is for you.

This Psalm reveals that there is a secret place of relationship with God where you can experience continual provision and protection from God. The "secret place" is an intimate place of personal relationship with God. He will draw nigh to you if you draw nigh to him.

You must first believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be able to come into the secret place. In the secret place, there is total openness and intimacy with the Lord. The place where you have it isn't the issue; it is the relationship that you have with Him.

This doesn't mean that you will be immune from trouble, or any challenges in the secret place. We all face the same devil, demons, and snares, but God will keep you from the fear of these things. They won't come nigh your secret place-no matter what happens, it will not hurt your relationship with God.
