Verse: Genesis 31:7b ‘However, God has not allowed him to harm me.’ - God, in His power and wisdom, is in control of all things. - His hand of protection and hope covers your life. - He will not allow others’ plans for your destruction to succeed. - He is your Shield of protection and your Hope for a bright future. PRAYER: Lord, thank You that You surround me like a shield. Your presence is with me and Your presence goes above and below me, behind and ahead of me and on either side of me; so I will not be afraid. Amen.
