PROTECTION

PSALM 121:5-6 (MSG)
GOD’s your Guardian,
right at your side to protect you—
Shielding you from sunstroke,
sheltering you from moonstroke.

JOHN 17:15 (CEV)
Father, I don’t ask you to take my followers out of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is there for you and your protection.

PRAYER
God, thank you for shielding me from danger. Sometimes I feel like it would be better to bail on the world and the insanity which reigns here. But I realize that you know better and that you have a purpose for keeping us here. Continue to protect us from the harmful effects of the system around us. I want to live faithfully in the midst of it all. I'm trusting that this is possible with you by my side. Amen.
