THE POWER OF PSALM 91

Psalm 91
Whoever goes to the Lord for safety whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, can say to him, "You are my defender  and protector. You are my God; in You I trust".
He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. He will cover you with his wings; You will be safe in his care; His faithfulness will protect you. 
You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight.
A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all round you, but you will not be harmed. You will look and see how the wicked are punished.
You have made the Lord your defender, the most high your protector, and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.
God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.
You will trample down lions and snakes.
God says "I will save those who love me and will protect those who know me as Lord.
When they call to me, I will answer them; When they are in trouble, I will be with them.
I will rescue them and honour them.
I will reward them with long life; I will save them." 

During World War 1, the commander of the 91st Infantry Brigade of the U.S. Expeditionary Army was a devout Christian. He assembled his men and gave each of them a little card on which was printed the 91st Psalm - the same number as their Brigade. They agreed to recite Psalm 91 daily.
After they commenced to pray the Psalm, the 91st Brigade was engaged in 3 of the bloodiest battles in World War 1 - Chateau Thierry, Belle Wood, and the Argonne. Other U.S. units who fought in the same battles had up to 90% casualities but the 91st Brigade did not suffer a single combat related casualty.

During World War 2 actor James Stewart was in the Army Air Corps. His father gave him a letter to read en route with Psalm 91 attached.
" My Dear Jim-Boy,
Soon after you read this letter you will be on your way to the worst sort of danger. Jim, I'm banking on the enclosed copy of Psalm 91. The thing that takes the place of fear and worry is the promise of the words of Psalm 91. I'm staking my faith in these words. I feel sure that God will lead you through this mad experience. I can say no more. I only continue to pray. Goodbye my dear. God continue to bless and keep you. I love you more than I can tell you, Dad."

James Stewart returned home a decorated war hero unharmed even though his record included 20 combat missions. During the height of battle, Stewart said he learned to lean on his tattered copy of Psalm 91.
