Obstacles

I am blessed, for I have placed my trust in Jesus. He is my
shield, my sword, and my battle-axe. These huge things before
me are no match for him. I look unto him, the author and the
finisher of my faith. He has begun a good work in me. Now he
will not finish in a bad way.
I
trust in God with all my heart, and I do not lean to my own
understanding. He has ordered my steps, and nothing in my path
is immovable. There is no problem that he cannot solve. There
is no obstacle that is insurmountable. He is building strong
men; therefore, I am strong in him. Strong men are not built
on easy seas. Strong men are built on stormy seas. Though the
waves seem to roar beyond my comprehension and are uncontrollable
with human strength, they are tame in his sight. I will not
be intimidated by the things that are beyond human strength.
Jesus
is the Lord, and all things are possible through him. The enemy
has shown me the mirror of impossibility. I disregard his mirror
with its many reflections. The vision of God is sure, and its
fruit will be brought to pass by his hand. He is faithful. It
is impossible for him to lie. He will hear me in the day of
trouble. His name will defend me against all adversaries. He
has sent help from his sanctuary on high. He has sent strength
for me out of Zion. I rejoice in my salvation. In his name,
I set up a banner of trust. He will fulfill all of my petitions.
He will save his anointed ones. With the saving strength of
his right hand, he will save me. He has heard my cry from heaven,
and his will is being done on the earth. Some trust in chariots,
and some trust in horses, but I remember his name always, and
I will never be ashamed. He has heard me; therefore, I do not
fear.
God
knows that the enemy is stronger than I am, but the Lord will
deliver me from him and from all those who work against me and
those that hate me. God will deliver me from the strivings of
men. He will deliver them into my hands because I have placed
my trust in him. He will not pervert judgment. He will not pervert
justice. He has given me the sure mercies of David; therefore,
mercy rejoices against judgment. My beginnings have been small,
yet my latter end shall have great increase. I have made supplication
unto Jesus, the Almighty. He has awakened for me, and now he
will make my habitation prosperous. He knows that my life is
as yesterday. My days upon the earth are but a shadow. I am
as a tree. I know that a tree cannot grow without water, and
God has made me better than a tree.
I
turn from hypocrisy, and I will not forget him, and my way shall
never perish. Some trust in a god that is like a spider's web.
When I place my trust in these gods, it is like leaning upon
a house. My hope shall not stand. It will not hold me fast.
It shall not endure. I purpose to trust in the Lord always.
He will never cast me away, neither will he help the evil doers.
He will fill my mouth with laughing and my lips with rejoicing.
They that hate me shall be clothed with shame, and the dwelling
place of the wicked shall come to naught. I have not filled
my belly with the east wind, neither have I uttered vain knowledge.
My talk has not been unprofitable, and my speeches have been
filled with good. I rise up and cast off fear, and I offer prayer
unto God continually, for he is trustworthy.
Hebrews
10:22 - 23
Let
us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies
washed with pure water. Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;)
Ephesians
2:8-9
For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
