Because you have set your love upon God, therefore will He deliver you; He will set you on high, because you know and understand His Name (have a personal knowledge of His mercy, love, and kindness – and you trust and rely on Him, knowing He will never forsake you, no, never). You shall call upon Him, and He will answer you; He will be with you in trouble. He will deliver and honor you. With long life will He satisfy you and show you His salvation (Psalm 91:14-16).
For as you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, you shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty. You shall say of the Lord, He is your Refuge, and your Fortress, your God; on Him you lean and rely, and in Him you trust. For then He will deliver you from the snares of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 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 (Psalm 91:1-4). There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. For He will give His angels charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways of obedience and service (Psalm 91:10-11).
Call upon Him to hasten to you and give ear to your voice when you cry to Him. May your prayer be set forth as incense before Him, the lifting up of your hands as the evening sacrifice. May He set a guard before your mouth and keep watch at the door of your lips. Incline your heart not to submit or consent to any evil thing or to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity; and may you not eat of their dainties. BUT, keep your eyes toward Him, your God the Lord; trust in Him and take refuge; may He not pour out your life nor leave it destitute and bare. May He keep you from the trap which they have laid for you. May the wicked fall together into their own nets, while you pass over them and escape (Psalm 141:1-4,8-10).
For the Lord is faithful and He will strengthen you and set you on a firm foundation and guard you from the evil one (II Thessalonians 3:3). He will guard the feet of the godly ones (I Samuel 2:9). So, do not fear or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And, His peace shall be yours (that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with your earthly lot of whatever sort that is), that peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your heart and mind in Christ (Philippians 4:6,7).
