Shield me from sorrow and fear.

 "Shield me from sorrow and fear."

Yes, Lord—this is the cry of a heart that longs for shelter. You are the God of all comfort, and You are near to the brokenhearted. I ask You to be my shield—not just from what is outside, but from what weighs me down inside.

A Prayer for Shelter:

"Lord,

I bring my sorrow to You—

every ache, every loss, every weight I carry.

I bring my fear to You—

every worry, every dread, every unknown.

Shield me from sorrow and fear.

Let not my heart be troubled.

Let not my spirit be crushed.

Wrap me in Your comfort.

Hold me in Your peace.

Quiet the noise within me.

I release my sorrow into Your hands—

You are the God who heals the brokenhearted.

I release my fear into Your hands—

You are the God who has not given me a spirit of fear.

Be my shield, Lord.

I am safe in You."
