Protected

God is present, and all is well.
“Wherever I am, God is.” These are powerful words from the “Prayer for
Protection” that both begin and end my day. I pray knowing that the Creator
is all powerful and everywhere present—with me and my family, with my
friends and neighbors.
God is present with all people—adults and children the world over. I
envision the men and women who are serving their countries as safe in every
situation.
Assured of God’s presence, I send my children to school, leave the home of
a loved one, or watch a friend depart on a long trip, knowing that God is
with each one of us. The power of God protects us; and wherever we are, God
is, and all is well.
“You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround
me with glad cries of deliverance.”—Psalm 32:7
