PRAYER SHIELD

…you, O LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory,
and the one who lifts up my head.
- Ps 3:3

For Gene Sumner, John Hooker, the "Property Book Section"and other friends in the Vermont National Guard
and the Army Reserve on duty in Iraq - the middle East
and for their families

Janet & Gene Sumner

Every day during the month
at last one person has dedicated themselves to creating a prayer shield around you.
You may want to join them in praying the Armor of God prayer yourself
as you start your day.
You may also want to read one or more of the Bible’s promises
about God as your shield
below.
