Short prayer for strength
Dear Father God,
I know that when I am weak you are my strength. You understand that these are the times when I need to be carried by you. I pray that you would gently renew my strength, speak your words of encouragement into my mind, sing songs of hope over my soul and awaken my heart.
I look to you.
Amen.
Short prayer for peace
Dear Lord,
Your peace surpasses all understanding.
Like a moment of stillness within a storm,
Like a place of quiet within a crowd,
Or a soft area to rest on a hard journey.
Help me to know your peace in my heart.
Amen.

Short prayer for protection
Dear Lord,
You have placed a helmet of salvation on my head -
that I might have peace of mind.
You have placed a breastplate of righteousness upon my chest -
so that my heart may be protected and safe.
You have placed a shield of faith in my hand -
so that as I journey no evil can stand against me.
You have placed the sword of the spirit in my hand -
that I may release those in need.
You are with me.
Thank you.
Amen.
