Two Powerful Prayers for Peace and Comfort

 

Safe in His Constant Care

“He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber . . .”

Psalm 121:3, ESV

 

Lord, thank You for being my security guard around the clock. Thank You for watching over me every moment of every day—even through the darkest watches of the night.

When I am struggling to sleep because of the sheer volume of cares and concerns swimming through my mind, remind me that You have it all taken care of already. You have a perfect plan and resolution, and my worry accomplishes nothing.

You are my faithful, capable Shepherd who cares for Your sheep and would lay down Your life for my sake.

I do not deserve You.

Thank You for ensuring that I will not slip and fall from Your grace. You promise that none can be snatched from Your hand (John 10:28-29). Comfort me with the realization that I cannot be harmed when I belong to You. You are my great protector.

Amen.

My Safe Hiding Place

“. . . In the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by.”

Psalm 57:1b, ESV

 

Lord, You are my hiding place. Thank You for offering a safe refuge where I can tuck myself away for protection from this storm. Thank You for promising to care for me at all times. I praise You for Your persistent faithfulness, kindness, mercy, and grace.

When the world lets me down, I know I can run to You. When I feel attacked on every side, I know You are there for me, spreading out Your wings as a shield and shelter.

Help me to squash any fears that remain in my mind and heart. Teach me how to trust fully in Your perfect security. Give me the confidence and perspective of the psalmist, who wrote, “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Psalm 118:6, NIV) Thank You for being my strong defender.

Amen.
