My Safe Place

 

Where is your safe place? Where do you retreat to for solace, protection and peace?

In the midst of facing a diagnosis of cancer with all the procedures, treatments, chemotherapy, side effects and the emotional toll of it all, it’s good to have a safe place!

 When you are in your safe place, you are protected and not exposed to danger and not likely to be harmed.  A safe place is where something is not likely to be stolen or lost. A good place to be when you are troubled and afraid.

Psalm 28:7 says, “The Lord is my Strength and my (impenetrable) Shield, my heart TRUSTS IN, RELIES ON AND CONFIDENTLY LEANS ON Him and I am helped: therefore, my heart greatly rejoices and with my song will I praise Him.”

Jesus is my safe place. He makes me complete. Only He can satisfy my deep craving for security, for peace. In His Presence, there is peace in the midst of life’s storms. I find that when I am walking thru trials and tribulations, He is My Shield, My Refuge and My Guide. A very present Help in times of trouble.

Psalm 27:1 says, “The Lord is my Light and my Salvation- whom shall I fear or dread. The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid?”

In your safe place, pour out your heart to Him. He is a God that hears and answers your prayers. Cast your cares upon the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never allow the consistently righteous to be made to slip, fall or fail!  He will meet you right where you are, in your safe place with Him and bring you peace, direction and refuge. Nothing compares to your safe place with Jesus.

Psalm 91:2, 9-11 says,” I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God, on Him I lean and rely and in Him, I confidently trust. Because you have made the Lord your refuge and the Most High your dwelling place. There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. For He will give His angels (especial) charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways (of obedience and service).”

You will find that in your safe place there is no fear, no anxiety and no unrest. Doubt and trouble vanish! Peace and love prevail! You rest in confident trust in your God!

Habakkuk 3:19 says, “The Lord is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army: He makes my feet like hinds feet and will make me to walk ( not to stand still in terror, but to walk) and make spiritual progress upon my high places ( of trouble, suffering or responsibility).”

Dear Heavenly Father, we humbly ask You to be a safe place for my friend as she walks this journey through life. Thank you for hearing her cry, comforting her, loving her and granting her Your Peace. Thank you for being her Shield, her Strength and Refuge. In Jesus Name!
