God is my Salvation

Before I was a Christian, I felt I had to take on the world alone. I had to trust in myself to get through the hard times, and there were a lot of hard times. I felt the demons, they were all around, everywhere I turned, waiting for me to slip ever closer to the abyss.

But now that I am saved and Jesus resides in my heart along with the power of the Holy Spirit, I no longer have to live in fear. It took me a while to figure out what was so different after my baptism. Then, one day not long ago, I figured it out; the demons were gone. I realized that I no longer look over my shoulder; the thoughts of someone wandering close to me are gone, forever. God is my salvation and He is with me always, I have nothing to fear now.

I depend on God, I need Him for my strength and He is my song. I sing to my Lord every chance I get, praising His name; I glorify His son and the presence of the Holy Spirit in my soul. I feel it, just as I used to feel the demons. I know my God is with me, He is my salvation, I can feel it.

My God, you are my salvation, my light and my life. I know you are my strength and I sing my praises to you every day. Lord, stay in my life and keep me safe from the evils that lurk just beyond those that you protect.

Are you afraid?
