Prayer about Protection and safety
Introduction
Prayer is the golden channel through which we connect with our Heavenly Father. It is not just about speaking, but also about listening and observing the world around us. It involves cultivating a genuine relationship with God. Through prayer, we express our joys, air our worries, seek guidance, and ask for protection and safety. And God, in His infinite love and wisdom, grants us strength and peace beyond understanding. Today, let us anchor ourselves in a prayer for protection and safety.
Prayer
Dear God, I come before You with a humble heart, full of trust in Your never-ending mercy. As I move through my day, I seek Your divine protection and safety. I understand, Father, that in this world I may encounter troubles, uncertainties, and trials, but I find solace in knowing that You are my rock, my fortress, the shield that surrounds me.
Lord, I pray that You cover me with Your mighty hand. Let Your holy angels encamp around me; guard me in all my ways. Let no harm befall me, nor any plague come near my dwelling. When I step out, let me tread on secure ground. When I lay down to sleep, let me find rest, knowing that Your watchful eyes are over me.
Instill in me, Holy Father, an unshakable faith, that I may not be swayed by the winds of fear or doubt. Grant me a discerning spirit to distinguish between right and wrong, and the courage to choose the path that leads closer to You. May the promise of Your word wrap me like a protective cloak, that in You I may find refuge and secure haven now and always.
