Lord, help me to enter into the place of Your presence. Help me to enter into that place of rest and peace that can only be found in Your presence.

Lord, I thank You in Jesus' name that I have chosen to dwell in Your secret place, and because I have done so, I remain stable and fixed under Your shadow. You are my refuge and my fortress, my God. I lean and rely on You, and I confidently place my trust in You.

I thank You that You deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. I thank You that You cover me with Your wings of protection, and under those wings I find a safe haven. Your truth and Your faithfulness are my shield and buckler.

Because of Your divine protection in my life, I am not afraid of the terror at night or the evil plots and slanders of the wicked that fly by day. I am not afraid of the pestilence that stalks in darkness. I am not afraid of the destruction, calamity, or sudden death with which the enemy would try to attack me.

A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not, will not, and cannot come near me or my family, because we are inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High.
