S: Psalm 5:11 "But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy."
O: Those who go to God for safety will praise God with Joyful songs. God will protect them and those who love God's identity will be filled with Joy.
A: Loving God's name is knowing Him intimately. I want to study God's emotions towards me and this will give me Joy and protection from the evil one.
P: Jesus, may you give me the ability to understand who you are better and your emotions toward me. As I do this I claim your promises of protection and joy.
"J2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (AMP) 20 For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God. 21 But it is God Who confirms and makes us steadfast and establishes us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and has consecrated and anointed us [enduing us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit]; 22 [He has also appropriated and acknowledged us as His by] putting His seal upon us and giving us His [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as the security deposit and guarantee [of the fulfillment of His promise].

I praise you for not leaving us as orphans. I praise you for all that the Holy Spirit does for us, even when we don't acknowledge these things, or even notice them. I praise you for the blood of Jesus that even made this possible. Amen
