Dear Friend, today’s beautiful promise verse is from Isaiah 31:5: “Like birds hovering, so the Lord of Hosts will protect Jerusalem; He will protect and deliver it, He will spare and rescue it.” What a comforting image this is! God compares His love and protection to that of a mother bird watching over her young. Just as a mother eagle spreads her wings to cover her little ones, our Lord covers us with His divine protection. He does not leave us in danger but lifts us up from every trouble. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 14:2 that the Lord has chosen His people as His own treasured possession. Even today, we are His children, chosen and loved. When we abide under His wings, no harm can touch us.

King David beautifully expressed this in Psalm 138:7: “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life; You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my enemies, and with Your right hand You save me.” God’s protection is personal and constant. Like a mother running to her crying child, the Lord runs to us when we cry out to Him. He says in Psalm 50:15, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” This is indeed our emergency number—Psalm 50:15! When we are surrounded by pain or fear, we can call upon the name of Jesus. He will answer, comfort, and deliver us. His presence surrounds us like hovering wings, bringing peace, strength, and safety.

Let me share a powerful testimony of God’s protective love. Sister Soundari from Red Hills, Chennai, prayed for her sister’s one-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with severe cancer. The baby’s body was covered with sores; her hair had fallen off, and she was in unbearable pain. The mother, exhausted and heartbroken, came to the point of losing hope. But when Sister Soundari visited the Adyar Prayer Tower, the prayer warriors prayed with tears and gave her prayer oil to be applied on the child. When the oil was applied and prayers continued faithfully, a great miracle happened. The child was completely healed! All the sores disappeared, and the baby regained her health. Today she is a joyful, healthy child. Truly, the Lord hovered over her like a mother bird and healed her completely. Dear friend, that same Lord is hovering over you today. Whatever sickness or trouble you face, He will protect, heal, and deliver you.

Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your promise that You will protect me like birds hovering. Lord, surround me with Your mighty wings of love. Heal me and all who are suffering from cancer and other painful diseases. Let every tumor, sore, and cyst disappear in Jesus’ name. Touch my body, Lord, and let Your healing power flow through me. Remove every pain, weakness, and fear. Let Your comforting presence rest upon me and all who are broken and weary. Deliver me from every trouble and lift me to safety. Let me glorify You for the miracles You perform in my life. Thank You, Lord, for covering me under Your wings and keeping me safe. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen.
