To the one who is able to protect you from falling, and to present you blameless and rejoicing before his glorious presence, to the only God our savior... ~ Jude 24–25a (CEB)
Lord, I need you to protect me, too. I especially need protection from myself. When I get tired and stressed I am really vulnerable. I snap at people. I don't even try to understand what is happening in their lives. Sometimes I think that I'm my own worst enemy. Please forgive me and protect me from all enemies -- including those within me and those who are other people. Surround me with your armor so that everything that I say and do brings glory to you. Amen.Challenging Words
