Prayer: Sovereign Lord. Thank You for protecting Your own children. I am sorry when I have felt so vulnerable and threatened by evil, and have not trusted You to protect me and deliver me. Please help me to know that no wickedness ever takes You by surprise and that You are always strong to defend those who put their trust in You. So please help me not to be intimidated, because You have promised to be with me always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteJohn 18:4-9 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." "I told you that I am he," Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go." This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me." (NIV)
