Psalms from a woman's heart - Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
If my house is a home built by God, only then will I be able to rest in my home.  His presence is required for my peace.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.  
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;
I can get out of my covers, out from under my down alternative comforter (no feathers in my home!), because God will be my cover, my comforter throughout the day.  There is no need to hide in my bed...or my closet...or the bathroom...
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.  
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
I will not fear the exhaused days caused by night terrors...or bedwetting...or midnight feedings, or...
Nor will I fear my little arrows (Psalms 127) who fly through my house during the day bringing destruction in their path.
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness.
I will not fear the hidden messes that lie beneath my children's beds...or mine.  Or the dust bunnies that collect in the corners of the laundry room, or the storage closet that is dangerous to open.  These things will not bother me, because my house is a home that God is making.
nor the plague that destroys at midday. 
Nor the mayhem that ensues when errands run long and lunch is running late.
A thousand  may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 
Though fits are thrown and children lie wailing, thrashing and screaming on the floor at either side, it will not cause me to do the same.
You will only observe with our eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.  
I can watch in peace as my children pitch their fits when they don't get their way, knowing that good lessons are being learned.
If you make the Most High your dwelling - even the Lord, who is my refuge - 
I can only do these things if I make the Most High my refuge, my comforter and my protection.  What would normally cause me to seek refuge in my dark bedroom under my comforter, I can face because He is my protection, He is covering me all day long.
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.  
The Lord will protect me and my children as I seek to raise them.  He will guide me as I often fail.  Despite my failures, I can hope for more than just the bruised heel of the fall.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
I can believe that all the plans of the evil one for my children will be thwarted. 
"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
I can believe this seemingly audacious truth because no matter if I fail - God will redeem them.  They will be saved and redeemed and it will be from something.  And yes, it's possible that my failures may be a part of that.  I can not protect them completely - they will have something in their lives that will require God's redemption.  I must teach them to know what name to call on when that day comes, and they know for themselves their need for a savior. 
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;  I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
I must trust God with the rest.  Only show them the name to call on...and trust God with the rest.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
