Protection

May the strength of God pilot us.
May the power of God preserve us.
May the wisdom of God instruct us.
May the hand of God protect us.
May the way of God direct us.
May the shield of God defend us.
May the host of God guard us against the snares of the evil one and the temptations of the world.
May Christ be with us.
Christ before us.
Christ in us, Christ over us.
May Your salvation, O Lord, be always ours this day and for evermore.
Amen.
