PROTECTOR AND PROVIDER

PSALM 121:5-6 (ABP)
GOD is your guard. He protects you during the heat of the day and the darkness of the night.

PHILEMON 1:3 (ABP) 
May God our Father and Jesus, the annointed king and master, flood your life with grace and peace.

THE ESSENCE
Day and night God is on duty as your protector and provider.

DAILY FODDER
How does the knowledge of God's protection and provision change your life—even today?

PRAYER 
Thank you, Lord, for your color-filled canopy of grace that shields me day and night. This amazing awning of protection keeps me safe in your love. Forgive me for not recognizing it every day. Lead me to others today so I can welcome them into this miraculous shelter of unconditional love. It's the best place to live. Amen. (Daily TextsGround Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
