As Jesus prayed to His Father in Heaven for the ones who believed in Him, He requested that they be protected while here without His physical presence. He had done His job as a Shepherd, but was being removed from His sheep. He said, “Father, protect them by the power of Your name.”

We have the promise that no weapon formed against us will prosper. We are held as the apple of His eye. We are hidden in the secret place of the Most High. We rest under the shadow of the Almighty.

Merely obey Jesus who said, “Abide in Me.”

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we are the sheep of Your pasture. Keep us safe in a world where much danger abounds. We trust in Your protection. Keep us with You forever.
