“In God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Psalm 56:4

Dear Heavenly Father, So many things make me nervous. Because I hear on the news about home invasions and every now and then I catch a show about crime, I spend too much time thinking about what could happen if someone came to rob my house or harm my family and me. I know you put angels all around me and you are not fearful of anyone you have made. I choose to trust that you are protecting me in every circumstance. With that peace I will spend my energy loving people instead of pulling in to my shell like a frightened tortoise. Amen.

God wants us to spend energy on loving others not preserving ourselves.
