Guided Prayer
One · Pause
Be still for a moment. Breathe in slowly, and out slowly — three times. There is no hurry here, and no one is watching.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10 · KJV
Two · Check in
What or whom do you feel unsafe about right now?
Three · Scripture · King James Version
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
Psalm 91:1–2 · KJV
“The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”
Psalm 121:7–8 · KJV
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”
Isaiah 54:17 · KJV
Four · Reflection
Dwelling in the secret place is a picture of nearness, not of a magic shield. God is a refuge, and wise action is part of taking shelter.
Five · Pray this
Lord, You are my refuge and my fortress. Preserve my going out and my coming in. Cover me and those I love, and give me wisdom to walk safely. In Jesus' name, amen.

You are under His shadow. Take shelter, and take wise steps too.
