Do Not Be Anxious About Anythingഉദാഹരണം

God Is Your Shield

Scripture:

But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
Psalm 3:3 NIV

Reflection:

In battle, a shield is more than just a piece of armour — it’s protection, safety, and confidence.

It doesn’t stop the attacks from coming, but it absorbs the impact so the one holding it can keep moving forward.

God doesn’t always remove the challenges we face, but He does promise to shield us.

His peace guards our minds.

His truth guards our hearts.

His presence stands between us and what would try to break us.

When anxiety, fear, or pressure come rushing in, you don’t have to take the hit — let Him take it for you. Lift your eyes. Lift your head. The shield is already in place.

Journaling Prompt:

What’s been trying to get through to your heart lately — fear, doubt, or stress? Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a picture of how God might be acting as a shield for you right now. Write down what He shows you.

Prayer:

Lord, be my shield. Protect me from anxious thoughts. Lift my head when I feel low. Amen.

Practical Tip:

When you feel anxious, imagine God’s presence like a huge glowing orb surrounding you, deflecting all anxious thoughts away from you. See them bounce off the shield that is around you.
