Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit seeking Your divine protection and safety. Thank You for Your constant watchfulness over my life and for the many ways You shield me from harm. I am comforted knowing that You are my refuge and fortress, my God, in whom I trust.
Lord, I ask for Your protection to surround me and my loved ones, like a mighty shield. Keep us safe from all dangers, both seen and unseen. Guard our minds, our bodies, and our spirits, and lead us away from any paths of harm. Please place Your angels around us, to watch over and defend us in every situation.
Grant us the wisdom to make choices that promote safety and the courage to trust in Your plan, even when we face uncertainties. Strengthen our faith, O God, so that we may walk with confidence, knowing that You are always by our side.
Bless our homes, our workplaces, and the places we travel. Let Your peace reign in our hearts, calming any fears or anxieties that may arise. Help us to remember that with You, O Lord, we are never alone, and Your love is our ultimate protection.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
