The Lord would say to us this day, I am the lifter of your head, I am your rear guard and I am the covering over your life.  Do not be dismayed over what your eyes see in the natural realm, nor let your hearts sink into despaired over what your ears hear in the natural realm.  For I am calling you to see and to hear with your spiritual eyes and ears, declares the Lord.  I am calling you to discern and test the spiritual atmosphere that is around you.  The natural realm can deceive you and draw you away from what is really important; The salvation of your souls.  I AM, declares the Lord.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  As you declare life and protection and salvation into the atmosphere around you, you will sense My presence.  I will guide you by the power of My Spirit. My Word will illuminate your path towards holiness and righteousness, declares the Lord.
