Loving Lord and Heavenly Father, thank You, that You are always there for me and that You have promised never to leave me not to forsake me. Father, there are an increasing number of evils in the world that can cause our hearts of fear, but I know that You have promised to be with me, to protect and to defend, even to the end of the age. Place Your hand of protection over me I pray, and cover those that I love with Your peace and grace, comfort and hope. Help me to trust You in all things, and may I never forget that no matter what happens in this life You have promised to be my Protector and Provider, my Rock and my Shield of defence. Let me sleep soundly tonight I pray, and keep the looming shadows of darkness and fear far from my heart. This I ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.
