A Prayer of Protection: Psalm 91
Heavenly Father,
In the shelter of Your love, I find refuge, and under Your wings, I seek protection.
As I meditate on Psalm 91, I am reminded that “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Today, I choose to dwell in Your presence, finding safety and peace in the shelter of Your everlasting arms.
Lord, You are my fortress and my refuge, and I declare, “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him, I will trust.’”
In a world filled with uncertainties, I anchor my trust in You, knowing that Your faithfulness is my shield.
I take hold of Your promise, “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day.”
Cover me with Your protective wings, shield me from fear, and grant me the assurance that Your love surrounds me like a mighty fortress.
I claim Your words, “A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.”
In the face of challenges, I stand firm, knowing that Your presence shields me from harm.
I thank You for sending Your angels to guard and protect me, and I trust that “no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.”
Your love is my stronghold, and I rest secure in Your promises.
May Your peace, like a gentle river, flow through the corridors of my soul, and let Your love be the melody that orchestrates the symphony of my life.
In the powerful name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
