Why is Psalm 91 so powerful?
Psalm 91 is the most powerful protection prayer in the Bible and rightly so. Simply reading this verse brings a curtain of comfort to anyone in need of encouragement. Knowing that the Lord is with us as fortress and as long as we trust in Him, no evil can stand against His mightiness.
Knowing that we live in a fallen world, where we are surrounded by sin it is important to know that we can face troubles even as we walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. However the difference is that, when we trust in Jesus, we have confidence that He is waiting for us in eternity where we can receive our reward.
Never loose faith when things don’t go your way. Trials and hurdles may come our way, but God’s plan is bigger and brighter than our own blueprint for the future.
Use this verse to declare protection and strength over your family, or read this scripture to them for encouragement.
