Father,
You are the Guardian of our souls. Thank You for rescuing us through Jesus. Scripture says, “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.” (1 Peter 2:24 NLT) Regardless of what the world throws at us and the trouble we create for ourselves as sinners living on a cursed earth, You are the Guardian of our souls. Our souls will live on past our humanity on this earth and on to eternity with You, our Father and Savior. Your Word says, “Once you were like a sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.” (1 Peter 2:25 NLT)
You, O God, are the guardian of our souls. When we turn to You through Christ Jesus, we have a safe place to hide when life is hard. We are not hidden away from trouble and pain but carried through it by Your compassion. You see us and guard us. When we fear our current situation or that of the world we are living in, we can pray the words of Psalm 17:8:
“Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.”
God, You will always be the Guardian of our souls. By the guidance of Your leadership, protection, wisdom, and love, we want to walk out our days on this earth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
