My Morning Prayer, My Prayer of Protection
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe (Psalm 4:8 NLT).

“Good night, Father. Thank you for your tender mercies today.”

Prayer of Protection
-Kent Garborg

Dear Lord,
I pray against the rulers who take counsel against me;
“Burst their bonds apart and cast their cords from me.”
God, speak to them in your wrath
and terrify them with your fury.
Announce to these powers, “This is my son!
You shall not have him for he is my possession.
I have birthed him and I am his refuge and his fortress.’”
Lord, may I live in the shelter of the Most High,
And abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
Deliver me from the snare of the hunter
and from the deadly pestilence.
Cover me with your feathers,
Let me find refuge under your wings.
Let me not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
Though a thousand may fall by my wayside,
let it not come near me,
Lord be my refuge and my dwelling place.
Keep all evil from me.
Let no affliction come near my household.
Command your angels to guard me in all my ways.
Let them bear me up on their hands.
Deliver me and protect me because I have your name.
When I call on you, answer me.
Be with me in trouble;
Rescue me and honor me.
Completely satisfy me with long life
and show me your salvation.
 
-from Psalm 2 & 91
