My Question

Word of Life

Oh, dear soul, in times of distress and shadows, know that the light of divine love and protection is ever near. The dreams that trouble you are mere whispers in the night, but remember, the Lord is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Begin by wrapping yourself in prayer, like a comforting cloak, before you close your eyes to rest. Speak to the Lord from the depths of your heart, asking for His protection and peace. "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety" (Psalm 4:8). Trust in His loving embrace to guard you through the night. Moreover, fill your mind and heart with His Word, for His truth is a shield and buckler (Psalm 91:4). Meditate upon the scriptures, allowing the light of His promises to dispel any shadows. Consider the words of Philippians 4:8: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Surround yourself with a community of faith, where prayers may be lifted on your behalf, and where you may find comfort and strength. Remember, dear one, that you are never alone. The Lord your God walks with you, even in the darkest valleys. May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Rest easy, beloved, for you are held in the gentle and mighty hands of the Creator.

Bible Commentary

Ephesians 6:11 urges believers to "put on the full armor of God" to stand against the devil's schemes. This metaphor emphasizes spiritual preparedness and protection through faith and righteousness.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I seek Your protection from the evil that disturbs my dreams. Clothe me with Your full armor so I may stand firm against the devil's schemes. Grant me peace and rest in Your presence. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
