A Prayer for God’s Shield
The world is not always a beautiful and happy place. Instead, it is filled with evil, sin, anger and sadness. No matter how hard we may try, we are forced to face the darkness that fills the Earth.
We may see the world as a place to fear and avoid. We are scared to let our children, family and friends go out and experience life without our protection. However, we know this is unrealistic. We know that we cannot control the world, and that we cannot protect our loved ones from everything. We are unable to always protect ourselves.
This is when we must turn to the Lord. We know that God is the ultimate protector. We must surrender our fears to God so that He is able to place His shield over us.
If you are in need of protection, recite this prayers and feel comfort knowing that the Lord is walking by your side.
Prayer:
Father,
You are my helper and my shield. You insulate me from pain in the world. I take You on as my shield. Help me to be mindful of praying this on a daily basis, for I know that Your involvement in my life depends on my invitation through prayer. Come and be my shield, Father. Then help me risk in life without fear. Help me to banish evil for I know you are always with me! Use Your shield to cover those I love and protect them as You protect me. I speak to my soul, “Soul, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield!” Let me be an example for my family and friends, so that they also ask for Your protection and love.
Amen.
The world can be a dark, scary and frightening place. Each day can be filled with worry and fear for the safety of our family and friends. Asking God for protection during these times will ease your mind and help remind you that the Lord is always walking with you and those you love.
The world isn't always a perfect place, but you can ask God to help protect you, your family and your friends.
