Blessed peacemakers

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4

Rampart is a defensive wall or a city that is walled. That place you have in Jesus is protected from the attacks of the enemy of our souls. He shields us in hard times, so they don’t affect us as would usually. When we are walking forward in the Lord, we need to know the Lord is our protector. The safety of a young bird under the wings of a mother bird is the word picture of the comfort and peace and innocence of life in Christ. You and I are kept by the Lord. We are able to pray for our loved ones that God’s closeness and protection as they trust in Jesus. Our prayers are for peace in the Middle East and around the world. We can be peacemakers in prayer. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9

Dear Jesus, thanks for your love, comfort and protection. Help me step forward, knowing your intimacy and protection in the everyday. Believing for loved ones to know you Jesus, being close to you and protected. We pray for peace in war affected areas. Help our leaders to have wisdom and understanding.
