Day 6- Protection Over My Health 

• God's Word

Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psalms 103:1-5 (NKJV)

• Today’s Thought

Our health is one of the most important commodities in our lives. When we have good health and are strong in our mind and spirit, we can accomplish infinitely more for the Kingdom of God. This is why the Apostle John wrote, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers." ‭‭3 John‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭(AMPC‬‬)

We have so much to accomplish with the days we have been given here on this earth. God has allowed us to do all that is within our ability to keep ourselves healthy by what we eat, how we exercise, what we choose to put into our minds, and what we choose to dwell upon. After we have done our part, we look to God to protect our health from things we cannot control, such as illness and disease.    

As we continue to pray this prayer of blessing over family, friends, and our future, let's pray that God will protect us and bless us with health in our body, mind, and soul.  

• My Prayer 

 May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace. Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT)

Heavenly Father, today I thank you that you are the God who is the giver of life and gives me health. I thank you for your desire to protect me from harm. I pray today, gracious Father, that you would protect me, my family, and friends from disease and illness and give us the discipline to make wise choices for our health of body, mind, and soul. In the name of Jesus,' I pray, Amen!
