I will not be afraid, for You are going with me throughout this day. No temptation that comes my way can penetrate Your protecting hand. I will leave tracks of peace and stability everywhere I go. I will not leave a trail of tension and apprehension. I will not be hurried or rushed, for my schedule is in Your hands. Make me a calming presence in every circumstance in which you place me.

I will live today by what is true, not by what I feel. I will set them on what is right and good and just. I will not allow my emotions to rule in my decisions. I will not allow my heart to attach itself to anything that is impure. Through this I guard my heart and my emotions. Next Lord, I want to put on the breastplate of righteousness. The truth is that You have a purpose for me this day-someone to encourage, someone to share with, someone to love. I am Your child, and nothing can separate me from Your love. I am indwelt with the Holy Spirit who will guide me and warn me when danger is near. The truth about me Lord, is that I am a new creature in Christ and have been set free from the power of sin. Lord, You know my breaking point and have promised not to allow me to be tempted beyond what I am able to bear.
