Pray For Protection
“2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.“ Psa 18:2 NLT
Pray For Protection
For yourself and your loved ones.
You need daily protection
From the evil that comes.
Satan comes to pull you down,
Demotivate and destroy.
You need protection in this battle;
God’s army to deploy.
Pray For Protection;
For your safety and your health;
You require protection for your home;
Your finances and your wealth.
Pray For Protection
From the devil’s many schemes.
He’s created a million or more,
Or so it actually seems.
Pray For Protection
For your loved ones’ welfare.
Pray for their health;
Their safety and daily care.
Ask the Lord to show you,
For what you need to pray;
To preserve those you love,
Each and every day.
Pray For Protection
For your nation and its leaders.
Pray for their guidance and honesty,
And freedom from slander.
Pray for your church
And the folk in your congregation.
You can really make a difference,
When you Pray For Protection!

Rusty Finds A Home!
Rust-hued kitty’s shunned by day, ignored through the night
Unloved and discarded in a world numb to his plight
As he meows by a door
Rusty meets family Tor
Who give him a home, protection and love glowing bright
—Robert Gorelick
Who could resist a kitty like Rusty
Who is lonely, scared and very dusty
Needing a safe home
Of his very own
And someone to adore him who’s trusty
—Beryl Edmunds
Like our smartphone powers us through our day
We have to learn to put God into play
In the most powerful way
He is in our hearts to stay
So we must start our day
Asking God for his protection when we pray
Against life's worst kind of infections
That trips us up allowing us to lose our direction
Our Lord with all his loving affection
Gives us a suit of armor to shield us from evil
We constantly feel that is ever so real
Knowing in Gods deal
He provides us with his holy seal
A suit of armor made of unpenetrable steel
Bearing the breastplate of righteousness
Allowing health happiness and good fortune
To make its way into our lives
Giving us a helmet of salvation
So we can be saved and redeemed
Throughout our duration
Of our time here in his creation
Learning and cultivating in his ways
Providing his mighty sword for our protection
Against satan's demons and warlords
When we put Gods armor on every day
We ensure satan will never take our soul away
Because we keep our faith and give God our trust
So all satans plans will be reduced to dust
Loving God is always a must
To stay far away from Satan's lust
Everything he promises is a bust
God is our moral crust
Whom we should never distrust
I button up my cardigan
The weather's closing in.
I'm follically challenged,
not my hairline, but my skin..
As the clouds begin to gather
and wind whips up to boot..
I twist my collar skyward..
deploy my bumbershoot.
And so.. I hurry past you,
we nod but hardly share
the time of day and just pretend
there's no time left to care.
"Is there fear of being open?"
as enclosure keeps me safe,
Suddenly I'm conscious:
all
these
layers
start to chafe.
Old wounds that pierced my skin
don't need to hide away.
The strangest gift;
these scars;
require the light of day.
But what if..
Summer's sun is early?
A transformation starts..
We feel the authenticity
warming up our Wintery hearts?
For what we crave is
Love.
Acceptance, sister. Brother.
But first we have to open up..
be honest with another.
Feel the raindrops on our skin.
Unbutton the protection.
Release us to the elements of
humanity's affection.
For deep within us all
there's stuff we hide away..
Exposure to the open air
and brightness of the day..
..it might be when the healing starts.
Wind, sun, or snow or rain.
Outside it may be different.
But inside..
we're all the same.
I’ve seen the evil eyes of madness
Psychotic and vicious as can be
I thought to run
I thought to hide
Fearing for my safety climbed a tree

As light gently slices the veil of night,
a sliver of morning appears through my window
With one eye open, I check the time
The fuzzy warmth of my sweet, soft blanket
compels me to think that all is right with the world,
that all is right with my world
and I could stay like this for hours, never moving
Funny how a blanket could offer such protection
As though the problems of the day just can’t get in
Everything can wait, these moments of peace sustained
Inevitably, the world wins and I awaken
Thoughts pervade, invade and beckon
Perhaps today, I can do something to help
I wish for all, a blanket of protection
Alma Mater in denial
Beckons proof of terrible sin
Congregation gather to witness
Defrocked disciple
Endeavours to catch her and hear
Flagellate in fear of the hounding.
Girl on a high, this nun in retreat
Hypocrite trying to steal an identity
Image of optical semblance
Juridical Janeass vindicated
Karma until now was next of kin
Lassitude before bringing her in.
Mother superior plays out her role
Noxious blend notwithstanding
Objurgates the slayer in rowdy prayer
Praises the Pope, insincerely
Quaint yet putting on an act
Rebuttal for her charge to be free of sin.
Sisters of mercy at the convent
Travel time from zero BC
Unavailable for opinions.
Vindicate their needs for solidarity
While the priest hands down the cane
Xenophobia takes hold.
Yearning for the truth
Zephyr sweeps it all away.

Now I lay me down to sleep…
I pray that God will always be there
Holding me within His loving embrace
Whispering to me of gentleness and grace
Reassuring me that I have what it takes
To reach for the stars and find the moon
Shimmering its light across my thoughts
Mysterious halo of warmth and insight
I pray that God will always let me know
When I need to give my love to someone
Who needs hope to keep moving forward
Someone who needs a kind word or deed
Something to remind them they are worthy
That God’s light will shine across their life
With assurance that their faith is the answer
I pray that God will always color my thoughts
In hues of scarlet hope and sapphire trust
Breaking apart the lies of darkness and deceit
Destructive words that fall from the lips of hate
Words that are intended to discourage sweet hope
For a better day, a better way, a second chance
To give back to this world… hope, faith and love
I pray, now – as I lay me down to sleep…
For God to cover my soul – in a sanctuary
Of faith in His strength, His wisdom, His gift
Which keeps giving me the faith to move on
Past sorrow, grief and discouraging darkness
That longs to consume me so I can’t see the beauty
In the morning that dawns so beautifully!
Now I lay me down to sleep…
Thankful that God is holding me in His palm
Reassuring me that I will come to no harm
And silencing all my worst fears or doubts
With the promise that His love answers
Every prayer!
This poem was inspired by craig cornish's Now I lay me down to sleep poetry contest which I will be entering with a different poem as this one is too long!
Don’t seek perfection in a world of deception,
a place of test for he and she.
If God intended for man perfection,
no mortal being will disagree.
For every time you feel rejection,
only the truth will set you free.
And when you tread in wrong direction,
your path will lead to misery.
So be alarmed,
request protection,
from every evil in you and me.
Extend your hand and attempt connection,
don't hesitate to make a plea.
For every action that causes friction,
will wear our bond and kill our glee.
a roar a purr
i am the gatekeeper
of my heart
of what goes in
and what comes out
a big overgrown lion
i roar mostly i purr

when infatuation soars
careful who you let in
guard your heart
and lock your doors
for heaven’s sake think twice
throw not caution to the wind
careful who comes close
lest they tear your life apart

Oh how awesome a condom, marvelous invention!
Stopping them from this direction and the other direction.
But the risk when it bursts
More than just being bust
Is a disease riddled infant who'll need your protection.

I know how it’s hard to smile
if you want to cry
You’re lying to yourself
Saying “everything is fine”
Every day you shine bright
The night sees your torments
that’s not right
but I know, trust me
And I,
I’ll be here
I’ll be here
loving you –I’ll protect you
Life is breaking you down
Leaving countless eternal wounds
Every day above ground is a win
remember, you didn’t lose
I’ll be your shoulder
I’ll be your safety belt
Believe in me
trust in me
I’ll save you – I swear
And I,
I’ll be here
I’ll be here
loving you –I’ll protect you
I’ll catch you
or we will fall together
I will be,
will be with you forever
There is a child in me,
she hides way down beneath,
the adult in me.
She saw awful things,
she felt many painful things,
and heard many harsh things.
The adult in me,
always attempts to protect her,
but there are times I fail.
That is when,
the adult in me,
cries for the child,
that I once was.
My tears remember,
the pangs of distress,
for the child,
who can never rest.
An unstable globe
One nation will toil and groan
Injustice for all
