Living in the Most High’s shelter,
camping in the Almighty’s shade,
I say to the LORD,
“You are my refuge, my stronghold!
You are my God—the one I trust!”
ACTS 26:22 (NLT)
But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest.
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.
You are my God—the one I trust!”
ACTS 26:22 (NLT)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
We can count on God to protect us.
DAILY FODDER
From what does God protect us? Are there things from which he doesn't protect people?
PRAYER
Almighty God, you are my refuge, my stronghold! It feels good to say that, although I easily slip into the mode of thinking where I feel responsible for my own protection. And that quickly degenerates into worry. Help me to look to you completely for protection. And give me the wisdom to implement your security. Even if things go sideways I know you'll take care of me forever. So, I'm not going to worry. 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 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.
