Lorica of St. Patrick
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.—Psalm 84:11 (KJV)
Today, as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, pray a portion of the beautiful prayer for protection that is said to come from his breastplate.
I arise today, through God’s strength to pilot me, God’s might to uphold me, God’s wisdom to guide me, God’s eye to look before me, God’s ear to hear me, God’s Word to speak for me, God’s hand to guard me… and God’s shield to protect me.
