If you are feeling downhearted or discouraged, take a minute to speak this Psalm over yourself.  It’s been scientifically proven that anxiety and fear cannot coexist with gratitude. So, focus your mind on the verses below, allow gratefulness to swell in your heart for your Eternal Hope of Glory, and for the authority Jesus has already provided for us and encourages us to walk in every day, in every situation.  

From Psalm 24

”Jesus, You claim the world as Yours and indeed it is!  You created Everything in it and every one of us belongs to You, including me.  You are the One who pushed back oceans to let the dry ground appear, planting firm foundations for the earth. In view of Your majesty, Who, then, is allowed to ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who has the privilege of entering into the Father’s Holy Place? It is I, since I’ve been made clean—my works and ways are purified, my heart is truly Yours and sealed by Your truth.  I am not deceived, my words are sure. I will receive Yahweh’s blessing and righteousness given only by the Savior. I will stand before God, for I seek the pleasure of the face of my beautiful Savior.  

So wake up!  I am a living gateway who carries His authority! I lift up my head, me, a doorway of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for He is about to arrive here through me. I declare, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is the Great Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, our Champion, invincible in every way! So I rise up!  I am a living gateway who carries His authority and I rejoice! Fling wide those eternal doors to which I hold the secret to opening!  Here He comes:  it is Jesus! The King of Glory is ready to come in, to reign over my life in power! I declare,  “Who is this King of Glory?” He is Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander and Champion of heaven’s hosts! Yes, He is the King of Glory! I bow my heart to surrender to Your great mercy, I command my spirit to receive Your provision, Your healing and Your Word with joy!
