The Prayer of Protection

Growing up on a small farm in Oregon, I had complete confidence that no matter what happened, my father would protect me and take care of me. I think many children have this faith in their parents. That is probably part of the faith of the child the Lord Jesus was talking about. My dad is tough and as a champion wrestler in Oregon State, I thought nobody would ever mess with him. As that young boy, I was confident that nothing would hurt me and even if someone rose to attack or hurt me, my father would be there to stop it. In my mind, he was a shield to me. You can be assured if anyone did try to harm us, he would protect us.
