In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety - Psalm 4:8.
The image of lying down in peace symbolizes a deep trust in God’s protection and provision. It represents a state of rest that rises above worldly worries and fears. Recognizing that true security comes from the Lord alone highlights His sovereignty and unwavering care. This verse serves as a powerful reminder to place our faith in Him, especially in moments of uncertainty and distress.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” — Joshua 1:9.
God is like a personal guardian, constantly watching over you, protecting you from harm day and night. He understands that without His guidance, we may falter and struggle, so He faithfully shields and directs us, ensuring our safety and well-being (Proverbs 11:14).
Even amidst the chaos, having a relationship with God shields you from the dangers that surround you.
The Lord will protect you from all harm; he will watch over your life. The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. - Psalm 121:7-8.
There's no need to be afraid of anything when you are surrounded by God's protection. “For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.” —Psalm 91:11. This mean that God will instruct his angels to watch over us. God has given some angels a purpose—to guard his children, and those who are faithful will be under the constant care of his angels.
This is God's perfect love
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love" —1 John 4:18.
“For it is written, ‘He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully" —Psalm 91:11. God sends his angels to protect those who have committed themselves to his loving care. “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them" —Psalm 34:7.
God sends his angels down to his true children and rescues them from danger—if we choose to trust him (Matthew 18:10). God assigns angels to each of us for our protection. And the angels who are our liaison, have direct access to God.
“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” —Hebrews 1:14. Angels are servants of God that carry out his desires, and work for our good for those of us who have accepted salvation. Without God's salvation, one is left to the mercy of circumstances.
In a relationship with God, you are no longer subjected to circumstances rather circumstances are subjected to you. This is the assurance we have as believers.
“See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared” —Exodus 23:20.
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” —Psalm 91:14–15.
Not knowing what God is saying concerning your life can be harmful. Without this knowledge you will live a life of fear, concern, or anxiety. It can result in living a restricted life, overshadowed by darkness, instead of experiencing a fearless and liberated life.
God's Word is good news. It is your joy, peace, guidance, and life source.
God's great love expresses his care, grace, and mercy to everyone (Isaiah 65:1). This is the mystery of his love. But why not be in a position where it is guaranteed, constant, and forever? This is possible by accepting salvation.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe - Proverbs 18:10.

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will become one with yours. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, as you and Him are now one.
All you must do is receive salvation, simply choosing to repent of your sins and welcome Jesus into your life by confessing Him as Lord. In Romans 10:9 Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Here's a Prayer that you can pray to get saved:
Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you died and were risen for my sins. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior—in Jesus' name, Amen.
After this step, pray for guidance to find a ministry where you can grow spiritually, gain knowledge about the kingdom, and begin living the abundant life promised by Jesus.
