God, I'm counting on you to protect me; for you are my safe place.
MATTHEW 6:13 (ABP)
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is your shield.
DAILY FODDER
From what do you need God to protect you?
PRAYER
Savior God, thank you for being on duty — watching over us — protecting us. I confess that I get caught up in the drama of life and end up trying to be my own protector. My shield is only so big and is thus limited in effectiveness. At the critical moments when I'm not thinking clearly I need you to prompt me to take refuge behind your shield. I know that I can face anything with Christ before, behind, and beside me. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
