He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
All your children will be taught by Yahweh; and your children’s peace will be great.
Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”
Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, my child is precious to me, and the thought of anything happening to them makes my heart clench. I cannot watch over them every hour of every day, but you can, and you already do. I place them in your hands again, not because I don’t care, but because I care too much to carry this fear alone.
Surround them with your protection. Give me wisdom for what I can control and peace for everything I can’t. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
