A Prayer For The Shelter Of Christ's Arms

Precious Lord Jesus, Wonderful God, Empowering Holy Spirit,
Precious One,
Thank you for your mighty power keeping me going every hour.
Thank you for your creation in which I live, work, and have my being.
In this time and place, I am assaulted by the forces of darkness, evil, and pain.
Yet, in this time and place, I know you are present and I know you shield me as I kneel before you.
When the winds tear apart my humble abode, I know you still love me.
When the money powers come and ravage my meager savings, I know your protective and loving arms are around me.
When the darkness of illness and pain attack me from every side, I know you stand beside me and love me more than I can ever know.
When I am attacked on every side, you stand as my shield and defender.
When it seems I have lost the battle, you reach down and grasp my heart and pull me up to victory.
When it seems I have no refuge, you are my cleft in the rock.
When I come to the end of my earthly life and it seems I have lost my life, your hand nailed to the tree reaches down and carries me to my heavenly home.
How great you are!
How wonderful are your ways!
All these things I pray in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen
