I come to you for protection, O LORD my God.
Save me from my persecutors—rescue me!
MATTHEW 10:19 (NLT)
When you are arrested, don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God will take care of us as we face opposition; so there is no need to stand down.
DAILY FODDER
What kind of protection are you currently needing from God?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for your protection—even giving me the right words to say at the right time. You are definitely involved in the lives of your people. Forgive me for the times when I try to assume the responsibility of my own protection detail. Show me how to give you the appropriate room to do your thing. And just as you give me words to say when I'm confronted, give me, too, the wisdom to remain silent. I'm not going to try to defend myself or talk my way out of the situation. I'm going to rely on your protection. 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.
