Here is a poem asking for God's protection, woven with the promises of scripture.
A Shield Against the Night
When shadows lengthen and fears take flight, When day recedes and deepens the night, I call upon Your holy name, A shelter from the storm and flame. "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble."(Psalm 32:7)
Let angels guard my path, my bed, By heavenly hosts be I am led. No unseen snare shall make me fall, You hear my voice,You hear my call. "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."(Psalm 91:11)
Though danger lurks on roads unknown, I do not walk this path alone. Your rod and staff,they comfort me, A constant truth I feel and see. "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."(Psalm 23:4)
You are my fortress, strong and high, Beneath Your wings I safely lie. No plague,no terror, no despair, Can reach me in Your faithful care. "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge."(Psalm 91:4)
So anchor me in peace, I pray, Through all the struggles of the day. My trust is in Your sovereign hand, Upon the rock,I firmly stand. "The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one."(2 Thessalonians 3:3)
Amen.
