Strong and Mighty God,
We sing of the goodness and lovingkindness of the Lord forever; with our mouths we will make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation. Goodness and lovingkindness are built up forever; you establish your unchangeable and majestic faithfulness. You have made covenants with your people; the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord. There is no one like the Lord of hosts, awesome above all those around you. You rule over the sea and still the waves when they rise. You scatter your enemies because righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne - truth and lovingkindness go before you. Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound of your voice. They walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of your countenance! In your name they rejoice all day, and in your righteousness they are exalted. You are the glory of their strength, for our shield belongs to the Lord, the Holy One. You give help to those who you have set in leadership positions. You anoint them with your holy oil and establish and strengthen them as they seek your will and ways. We claim and pray in the name of Jesus that their enemies will not outwit the godly leaders you have set into place, nor the wicked afflict them. Instead, we pray you crush the adversaries and strike those who hate them. Your faithfulness and steadfast lovingkindness shall be with them. We pray, Holy Spirit, that you would strengthen the spiritual warriors you have raised up for such a time as this. Guide them, guard them, but especially fill them with an outpouring of yourself. Fill them with your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, and self control. Give them an overabundance of courage and strength as you guide them in their work. May they cry out to you, "Father, God, the rock of my salvation." And may your Kingdom come and your Will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. In Christ's name and with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit we pray, Amen!
For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?” (Esther 4:14 AMP)
But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23 AMP)
Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble in dread before them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 AMP)
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10 AMP)
1 I will sing of the goodness and lovingkindness of the Lord forever;
With my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation.
2 For I have said, “Goodness and lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens [unchangeable and majestic] You will establish Your faithfulness.”
3 [God has said] “I have made a covenant with My chosen one;
I have sworn to David My servant,
4 I will establish your seed forever
And I will build up your throne for all generations.” Selah.
5 The heavens (angels) praise Your wonders, O Lord,
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the divine beings is like the Lord,
7 A God greatly feared and reverently worshiped in the council of the holy [angelic] ones,
And awesome above all those who are around Him?
8 O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord?
Your faithfulness surrounds You [as an intrinsic, unchangeable part of Your very being].
9 You rule the swelling of the sea;
When its waves rise, You still them.
10 You have crushed Rahab (Egypt) like one who is slain;
You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all that is in it, You have founded and established them.
12 The north and the south, You have created them;
Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
13 You have a strong arm;
Mighty is Your hand, Your right hand is exalted.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
15 Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound [of the trumpet’s blast]!
They walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!
16 In Your name they rejoice all the day,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment],
And by Your favor our horn is exalted.
18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones,
And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel];
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

And strike those who hate him.

And in My name shall his horn be exalted [great power and prosperity shall be conferred upon him].
25 “I will also [a]set his hand on the [Mediterranean] sea,
And his right hand on the rivers [the tributaries of the Euphrates].
26 “He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father,
My God, and the rock of my salvation.’" (Psalm 89:1-26 AMP)
