Prayer of Psalm 91

January 2023

I am preparing more messages to share with you guys. But I needed a little more time to make sure they were thoughtfully prepared. So this week I am going to share my most favorite chapter in the Bible. Not only is this a powerful chapter to read, it is a even more powerful prayer to pray over you and your family. Growing up, my mom had my siblings and I pray Psalm 91 out loud together each morning before we stepped out into our days. Even now, I have this whole chapter memorized by heart and pray it over me and my family. The Word is truth, you can believe it to be true. So pray this chapter of Psalms out loud and believe it for your life. Rest in it, let worry melt away as you declare the truthful promises of God. He wrote Psalm 91 just for you and your family. I know that you will walk away feeling empowered and invigorated after you declare God’s intentional words with your voice. I have included my two favorite translations. Each will speak to your heart in a new way. Have a very blessed weekend friends!

Psalm 91 TPT

1When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai,

you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.

2He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me,

the only God for me, and my great confidence.

3He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,

and he will protect you from false accusation

and any deadly curse.

4His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you.

You can run under his covering of majesty and hide.

His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.

5You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night

nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.

6Don’t fear a thing!

Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,

nor will the powers of evil be launched against you.

7Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,

you will remain unscathed and unharmed.

8You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,

for they will be paid back for what they have done!

9-10When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,

our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.

How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?

11God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,

defending you from all harm.

12If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you

and keep you from stumbling.

13You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,

trampling every one of them beneath your feet!

14For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:

“Because you loved me, delighted in me, and have been loyal to my name,

I will greatly protect you.

15I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,

and you will feel my presence

in your time of trouble.

I will deliver you and bring you honor.

16I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you.

For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”

Psalm 91 AMPC

HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].

2 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!

3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, [Ps. 91:1, 14.]

10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.

11 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].

12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. [Luke 4:10, 11; Heb. 1:14.]

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. [Luke 10:19.]

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness–trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

I like to close each teaching with an invitation to salvation for anyone that has not yet welcomed Jesus into their life. Maybe you’ve read this and felt a pull on your heart. Maybe you’re in a place where you just need a solution. If so, this was meant for you and if you’re ready for the “moreness” of God, then believe in your heart and say out loud the following prayer: “Jesus, I repent for my sins, please forgive me for living a life apart from You. I believe that you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins and were raised to life again. I confess you as Lord over my life. Take my life and do something with it. And I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Name amen.”

It’s as simple as that. Welcome to the family! That is solely the most important decision you will ever make. If you prayed that prayer, please send us an email and let us know. We would love to help get you connected to a Life-filled church in your area and help you get started on your journey of “moreness” with God.
