I come to the Lord for protection. I come to You, Almighty God, because You can make me holy. Every blessing is filtered by Your hands. Every trial is used as instruction that takes me to the depths of truth. Help me to rejoice in my sufferings, Lord, because it makes me more like You. Far too many false heroes exist today. False heroes who taint the purity and truth of Your divinity. Dethrone the lesser gods existing within the culture whose enticement distracts even the elect. Shine light where darkness presently reigns. The multiplication of trouble is caused by chasing after other gods whose subtle promises of success and fame, of selfish ambition and pleasure, only lead to a pit of destruction. Grant Your chosen ones the power to recognize the allure and turn away from it. I do not want to drink from any other cup except the one You place before me, Jesus. Your guidance is what I need. Step by step, let me follow You to the land of promise no matter how far away it may seem. Though the path grows wide in places, You can keep me on the narrow way, Jesus. And in Your protective leadership, I need not be afraid. In all my way, let me acknowledge You, Lord God Almighty. Under the Word of blessing in Proverbs 18:10 and the authority of Christ I bow before You in prayer.

The Name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10, NIV
