God Protect Us.

 God Protect Us

A Reflection on Psalm 121:7-8, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and Psalm 91:11

God protect us—not as a distant, silent guard,

But as a Father watching closely, keeping us from harm.

In the morning, in the evening, in the unknown and the hard,

Let Your hand be our shelter, Your name our calming balm.

The Lord will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. (Psalm 121:7-8)

Protect our minds from the lies that whisper fear.

Protect our hearts from bitterness and doubt.

Protect our homes, our families, all we hold dear.

Protect our going out and our coming in, throughout.

The enemy may prowl, but You are greater still.

No weapon formed against us can prosper or fulfill

Its purpose, for You are our refuge and our tower.

God protect us in Your mercy, every hour.

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)

When the night is dark and dangers seem near,

When we cannot see the path ahead, uncertain and unclear,

Let Your angels encamp around us, guarding all our ways.

God protect us—be our shield through all our days.

For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. (Psalm 91:11)

Amen.
