Heavenly Father,
I come to You today asking for Your protection and guidance. I turn to Psalm 91 and the words of comfort and assurance that it brings. You are my refuge, my fortress, and my God whom I trust.
I pray that You will cover me with Your feathers and under Your wings I will find refuge. I trust in Your faithfulness to protect me from all harm and danger. I know that You will command Your angels to guard me in all my ways.
I pray that You will set me on high, above the trouble and danger that surrounds me. I will be safe in the shelter of Your tabernacle, and I will trust in the covert of Your wings. Your faithfulness will be my shield and my rampart.
I pray that You will deliver me from the sword, and from the power of the wicked. You will rescue me from the hand of the unrighteous, and from the mouth of the lion. You will set me high, above the reach of my enemies, and I will be safe in Your presence.
I thank You, God, for Your faithfulness and Your protection. I trust in Your love and Your care for me, and I rest secure in Your shelter. I pray that You will continue to guide and protect me, and that I may honor You in all that I do.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
