It's funny to me how often we take our safety for granted. The fact that my husband is going to return safely to me from wherever he has been is something I just always assume. Just driving alone can feel like such a hazard sometimes. My husband isn't always the most patient driver either. And the kicker for me is that sometimes I picture doing physical harm to him myself. A good kick in the shin would probably serve him well, I often think in my anger. And then I have to seriously think Lord, please protect him. (even from me) haha...
I really liked ol Stormie's prayer for protection.
Lord, I do pray that you would protect my husband in all areas of his life both spiritual and physical. Please Lord, give him the wisdom to make safe choices. Help him to be on Your path with steadfast feet. Guide his steps and protect him from being blindsided by spiritual attacks. Let him always be prepared and ready. I pray that Amos would abide in the shadow of your wings, that he would always be under your covering. In times of trouble, I pray that he would look to you as his rock and stand firm. I pray that he would remember that you are always with him. Be his deliverer, his strength and his stronghold. Thank you for the protection, I know you have already provided for him. Please continue to protect him. Thank you Lord.

I know! Sometimes it feels like there is such a fine line between being paranoid and being careful and prayerful!
Yes, it is a fine line. We want to be wise, but we have to trust God.
I have to thank my mother for setting the example to always pray for protection, after reading Stormie's prayer it reminded me so much of how my mom prayed for us & her family.
Lord I thank you for Travis life, protect each step he takes, I cover him with Jesus blood. May you keep every tissue of his body working accordingly and keep him from all evil. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
