God of life, I bring every threat, frightening word, hostile declaration, or fear of premature death before You.
My times are in Your hands.
I reject panic and refuse to give another person’s words authority over my mind.
Psalm 118 declares that I shall live and proclaim the works of the Lord.
Jesus Christ has conquered the fear of death and given eternal hope to those who trust Him.
Protect me from violence, illness, accidents, exploitation, and reckless decisions.
Give me wisdom to take threats seriously without becoming controlled by terror.
If anyone has made a credible threat against me, help me contact the appropriate authorities, document what has happened, and seek a safe place.
Guard my coming and going.
Lead me away from danger and surround me with trustworthy people.
Strengthen my body, calm my nervous system, and restore peaceful sleep.
I will not spend my days trying to decode every event as a sign of death.
I will live wisely, receive proper care, and entrust the length of my life to You.
Whether in life or in death, I belong to Jesus Christ.
Nothing can separate me from Your love.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Scriptures: Psalm 31:14–15; Psalm 91; Psalm 118:17; Psalm 121:7–8; Romans 8:35–39; Hebrews 2:14–15.
