Knowing Our Father Watches Over Us

If you have ever been awakened in the night by a bad dream, a sense of not feeling well, or just some challenging thought about how the coming days might go, there is something to know that we can appreciate. Our Father loves us at all times. He never slumbers or sleeps. He is ever on the job, watching out for His kids. How do we know this? The scriptures tell us this is true.

Psalms 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

What can we say then for these times when we wake? For me, I begin to talk to the Father. I praise the name Yahuah! I thank Him for all He does. I refuse, out loud, to accept whatever that negative thought might be. In short, I commune with our Father long enough to feel the comfort of His presence, and then I go back to sleep.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We praise the name Yahuah! Help us to establish Your kingdom here by keeping Your commands. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Restore unto Your people all that has been stolen or held back one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
