GOD guards you from every evil,
he guards your very life.
JOHN 17:15 (MSG)
I’m not asking that you take them out of the world
But that you guard them from the Evil One.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We need not worry about the attacks of the Evil One because God is on guard.
If God is guarding us, does that mean we won't be dealing with adversity? Why or why not?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for answering Jesus' prayer. I'm grateful that you are our guard. I admit that I can be prone to anxiety, especially when things happen which make me feel that the devil is out to get me. Reassure me of your vigilant presence. I'm not going to run recklessly into traffic but because I recognize that you are our protector I'm not going to cower behind closed doors. 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.
