Protection prayer

Safety of abiding in the Presence of the Lord. Psalms 91 speaks of that.

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler^[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

As I type this post, I am still living in the aftermath of the shock that I suffered about an hour ago. On my way to Novena Medical Centre for my weekly evening weight management clinic, I was plugged into my Ipod, listening to a sermon by Pastor Prince. Suddenly, the taxi driver hit the E brake and I looked up to see a van losing control. It looked like my taxi might be hit. Miraculously, the van managed to stop spinning in the middle of PIE. While the driver took time to recover and try to get the van in the right direction i.e. flow of the traffic, my taxi driver looked back at me and exclaimed, "Did you see that?!" I went, "YES!" So scary!!! We drove off unscathed and unhurt. Thank Jesus for protecting me and the taxi that I was on. I could not have imagined otherwise.
