Almighty Father, thank you for Your protection today. Thank You for letting us live where we can worship You at home or church without fear of arrest or torture. Please be with those who suffer because of their faith in You. Surround them with your comfort, presence, and love. Please forgive us of our sins in thought, word, deed, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We ask for your protection during the night from dangers seen and unseen. May we awake aware of Your love and mercy and gratefully follow Your leading. Please help us to speak more clearly about you with our family, friends, and acquaintances during the coming week. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
