May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares (Psalm 144:14; NLT).
Lord,
Thank you so much
For the precious, hard-won boundaries
You’ve helped me to develop
As an adult.
May no enemy
Ever break through my walls.
May I never go back
Into captivity.
May no alarm bell
Shatter my peace of mind.
But, Lord, if my security
Should come under threat,
Please help me to defend it boldly,
And immediately.
Through Jesus’ name,
Amen.
