Psalm 3:4-6

I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

A prayer for Monday morning:

Dear Lord, this morning when you woke me up, I thought about all the things surrounding me and waiting for me. There is a lot of activity from evil people in my life. I’m fearful for myself and my family. I get nervous when I think about all the diseases or troubles that can assail me. So today, I’m telling you all my fears. Here is what I’m afraid of…

Lord God, today I am not going to live in fear. Surround me with your holy angels as I go about my daily routine. You sit enthroned in heaven, over all things, including my life. Watch over my loved ones and me today. Guide me. Preserve me. Protect me. Then enable me to fall asleep tonight free from fear and worry. Amen.
