Prayer for Protection – Psalm 61

Healing Prayers

Prayer for Protection. O God, hear my prayer. Listen to my heart’s cry. For no matter where I am, even when I’m far from home I will cry out to you for a Father’s help. When I’m feeble and overwhelmed by life, guide me into your glory where I am safe and sheltered. Lord, you are a paradise of protection to me. You lift me high above the fray. None of my foes can touch me, when I’m held firmly in your wrap-around presence! Keep me in this glory. Let me live continually under your splendor-shadow; hiding my life in you forever.

You have heard my sweet resolutions to love and serve you, for I am your beloved. And you have given me an inheritance of rich treasures which you give to all your lovers. You treat me like a king, giving me a full and abundant life. Years and years of reigning, like many generations rolled into one. I will live enthroned with you forever! Guard me, God, with your unending, unfailing love. Let me live my days walking in grace and truth before you. And my praises will fill the heavens forever, fulfilling my vow to make every day a love gift to you!
