LET US PRAY: Lord God, my shield and my buckler, You have promised to cover those who trust in You with Your mighty feathers, and under Your comforting wings shall we be protected. Lord, keep us safe from self-destruction. May we never nurture pride, hatred, grudges, and self-centeredness. May we be free of such unrighteousness, and embrace humility, love, peace, and selflessness. Lord, keep is safe from evil and wicked ones. Protect us as You go with us. Be our guiding cloud at day, showing us which way to follow, and our protecting fire at night, guiding our steps, and keeping us safe from harm. Go with us as we step out of our homes, and return with us. Watch over us as we sleep, and as we wake, may we wake up renewed in strength, ready for the next day. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
