I decree that I always remember God’s eye is upon me.
I am the center of His focus because He loves and cares for me.
God, You are smiling as me because of am the apple of Your eye.
I declare that I will never feel rejected and overlooked because the Lord’s arms surround me with His love.
I am protected and hidden in the shadow of God’s wings.
When the Lord sees me, He is joyful because He made me.
Today I can smile because God is smiling at me!
SCRIPTURE
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
(Psalm 17:8 NIV).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
There can be hard times in life that can make you feel as though no one cares about you. People can say unkind things and make you think that you aren’t important. First, we have to remember there are always people who care about us. It’s the devil who wants us to believe no one cares, and we have to always remember that. But it’s also important to remember that God cares for us. The Bible says we are the apple of His eye. That means He is looking at us with joy because we are His children. He loves us so much that He surrounds us with His love—kind of like a big hug! Whenever you feel people aren’t caring for you or maybe you’ve just had a hard day, know that God is looking at you and smiling, and His loving arms are always around you!
