A Deeper Prayer

As night descends and I lay my weary head to rest, I ask for your divine protection against the terrors that lurk in the darkness.

What does prayer have to do with protection against nightmares?+

Prayer is a means of submitting to God's divine protection and relying on His promises, such as Psalm 37:3, 'Trust in the Lord and do good.' By praying for protection, we place our trust in God.

Can I seek this prayer alone, or is there value in seeking support from others?+
