When trouble comes, the Lord will take me into his safe house. He will conceal me in a hidden room.
2 THESSALONIANS 3:3 (NLT)
But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Don't stress out over the trouble in the world because God is your faithful protector.
DAILY FODDER
Children of the heavenly Father
safely in his bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e'er was given.
in his holy courts, they flourish.
From all evil things, he spares them;
in his mighty arms, he bears them.
Praise the Lord in joyful numbers,
Your protector never slumbers.
At the will of your Defender
Every foeman must surrender.
Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne'er forsaketh;
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy.
Words: Lina Sandell (d. 1902), translated by Ernst W. Olson. (d. 1958) | Music: Swedish folk song
PRAYER
Divine Protector, you are faithful to your creation. Thank you for strengthening, establishing, and guarding me, even when I fail to keep steady in my faith. I find rest in knowing you are there to protect me when I am vulnerable and easily falter. Strengthen me and keep me ever mindful and grateful for your grace. 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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
