Surely the righteous will praise your name, and the upright will live in your presence.
(Psalm 140:13)
Pray
You are my strength and my shield in times of trouble. You alone can protect me from the traps and snares that the enemy sets before me. You are my defender and my salvation, and I trust in Your power to deliver me from the hands of those who seek to harm me. Help me to rely on Your strength and not my own, and to seek Your protection in all situations.
You are my refuge and my fortress, and I take comfort in the knowledge that You are always with me. I pray that You would guard my heart and my mind from the schemes of the enemy, and give me the wisdom and discernment to recognize and avoid the pitfalls that he sets before me. Thank You for being my ever-present help in times of trouble, and for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
