So now I’ll lie down and sleep like a baby—then I’ll awake in safety, for you surround me with your glory. Even though ten thousand dark powers prowl around me, I won’t be afraid. Psalm 3:5-6 TPT

I love these verses because I’ve prayed them so many times. Even when the doctor says something scary, “I’ll lie down and sleep like a baby—then I’ll awake in safety, for you surround me with your glory. Even though ten thousand dark powers prowl around me, I won’t be afraid.”

When the economy looks seriously bad, I say it again. When I feel outnumbered and everyone is calling with evil reports, I say it again.

Here are more of my favorite verses I keep in my arsenal:

His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm. Psalm 91:4

God, your wraparound presence is my shield. You bring victory to all who are pure in heart. Psalm 7:10

So next time you’re tempted to fear, speak these words out loud and know that God will never leave you or forsake you. He’s as close as the mention of His name. Jesus!
