Lord, protect me from evil.

 Amen. "Protect me from evil" is a prayer of dependence and trust—a cry to the One who is our deliverer, our shield, and our refuge from every work of darkness. It is the prayer that Jesus Himself taught us to pray, and it is the plea of a heart that knows its vulnerability and trusts in God's protection.
