The Protector's Prayer

Lord, you have already won the battles I will face today. I rest in your sovereignty knowing you have appointed me for this duty. The power that created everything lives in me through Your Holy Spirit, let me fear nothing. Give me the courage of David, strength of Samson, wisdom of Solomon and the grace of your son, Jesus. While I am away protect my family, let me return unharmed. Prepare their hearts should today be the day I meet you face to face. Let me serve the people of this blessed country and community with a servant’s heart; being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Lord, you have given me great responsibility. Help me protect the vulnerable and innocent. When the moment calls, allow me to show compassion and humility to those that cross my path. When faced with evil, let my actions be definitive, impartial, and above reproach. Protect my brother to my left and sister to my right as we respond fearlessly, without hesitation to the unknown.
