Protected - Today's Daily Word

The light of God surrounds us.

If I myself or a friend or loved one is about to embark on a journey, the first line of the "Prayer for Protection" comes to mind. It helps me to remember that "The light of God surrounds us."

Recalling these words is a great source of peace to me. I know that God is all powerful and everywhere present. As I affirm my oneness with God, I feel the blessed assurance that all is well with me and with the people I pray for.

Today I hold family and loved ones--including my pets--in prayer. I see each one guided, protected, and cared for in the best possible way. It's true: God's presence lights our way every day.

"And you will have confidence, because there is hope; you will be protected and take your rest in safety."--Job 11:18

Thank You, God, for Your guiding spirit of love.

In moments of prayer with You, dear God, I am immersed in Your love. Even when situations or events seem daunting, I pray and feel the confirmation that Your loving spirit is guiding me and all others in ways of safety and peace.

Connecting with You strengthens my realization that the people I care about are also being blessed and guided by Your love. As I pray, I affirm that love surrounds, upholds, and inspires right actions and enlightened ways of thinking and being.

Thank You, God, for Your caring, guiding spirit of love within me, within those I know, and within those I have yet to meet. May we each grow in an awareness that divine love is active within us and within every person and all circumstances.

"He protected us along all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed."--Joshua 24:17
