Lord God, be my strength, my wisdom and my guide as I walk through trying times. The darkness swirls around me, but your hope sustains me. You have unwavering control. Your desire will not be thwarted. I remain beneath the shelter of your wings. I lift my prayer for protection under the blood of Jesus in his precious name and powerful authority, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
 
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10-11 ESV)
