A Deeper Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking refuge from the negative influences that surround me. Lord, I know that in a world filled with darkness, Your light shines brighter, guiding and protecting me. I ask that You shield me with Your peace, a peace that transcends all understanding, protecting my heart and mind from the evil one. Lord, You are my Rock, my Shelter, and my Stronghold. I find solace in Your words, 'For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.' (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV) I pray that You would give me the strength and courage to persevere, and the wisdom to discern what is good and true. Thank You, Lord, for being my constant Companion and my Defender. I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
