Inlet: a recess in a shoreline at the sea, river, or lakes; a small, narrow arm of a sea. Kettle Lake: a small, shallow body of water formed when retreating glaciers lose chunks of ice, and the ice became trapped in sediment; such a waterbody is formed by floodwaters draining. Lagoon: a shallow body of water, typically seawater, that is separated from the rest of the sea by sand, rocks, and vegetation. Lake: a freshwater body of water that is bound by land, larger than a pond, and usually freshwater; may be artificial such as a reservoir, or naturally occurring. Lick: a small, temporarily flowing stream. Loch: a Scottish term that most often refers to lakes but may also refer to inlets, bays, and estuaries. Mangrove Swamp: a coastal waterbody with high salinity and mangrove trees. Marsh: a perpetually waterlogged area of low-lying land that floods as a result of rain or tidal shifts, and usually features large herbaceous plants, reeds, rushes, and grasses. Mere: a lake that is exceptionally broad compared to its depth. Moat: a manmade trench, sometimes filled with water, used to protect another area. Ocean: the significant waterbody that covers the majority of the planet’s surface, often broken down into several smaller bodies for the sake of identification.

Pool: any number of small bodies of water, either artificial or natural Pond: water that is smaller than a lake but has similar properties to one and can be natural or artificial. Puddle: a small buildup of water on the ground’s surface. Reservoir: an area that is used to store water, especially in reference to dammed rivers and the artificial lakes they create. Rill: a small, shallow channel of water that may be natural or artificial.

Shoal: an accumulation of sediment covering a submerged ridge; a place where the water in a sea or river is particularly shallow. Sound: an ocean inlet that is wider than fjord, and bigger than a bay. Spring: a place where groundwater naturally flows up; hot springs are warmed by geothermal energy. Strait: a narrow channel that connects two large bodies of water. Stream: a small body of water that possesses a current, banks, and a bed but remains smaller than a river. Swamp: a wetland that is perpetually covered with water and possessing woody vegetation with some land rising above the water. Tide Pool: a rocky pool of seawater that forms next to the ocean.

Thank you, Father God, for the blessing of prayer and an opportunity to pray for protection of our natural resources. It is winter in the notches (Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, Pinkham Notch and Dixville Notch) and up north in Coos County, so many rivers, ponds and lakes are inaccessible. I take my authority in Jesus Christ and stand on Amos 5:24 “But let justice run down like waters and righteousness as a mighty and ever-flowing stream.” AMP 1987. In Hebrew the word; cebiybah (pronounced ka-bi-bah) means to "circle", "to revolve around", or "to border". In Hebrew the number "7" means "spiritual perfection", "completion". I am drawing 7 cebiybah's for every body of water that feeds the Androscoggin River and its watershed. I implore Father God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, to rebuke, cancel and destroy every assignment and attack of the enemy to protect this body of water from any and all harm. May it continue to bring joy and prosperity to the people who work and play on it. May the creatures that dwell in it and/or rely on it, be kept safe as the Androscoggin River continues to flow into the bay. Thank You Father God, Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit for answering my prayer.
