Protected
God’s loving presence protects me.
James
Dillet Freeman’s “Prayer for Protection” is a reminder that “the power
of God protects me.” I am never alone, for Spirit and I are one. God’s
presence is a strength I can call upon at any time when I need it.
This is not to say that I won’t ever feel afraid. I am human and part of my emotional response system is fear. I do not judge myself for being scared but instead note when this feeling arises. When I feel fearful, I turn my attention away from the darkness of fear toward the light of divine life within. God is the one power and presence in my life. I have the wisdom to know what needs to be done, the strength to do it, and the faith to overcome any fear.

pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you
may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his
Spirit.—Ephesians 3:16
