Prayer based on Matthew 27:65. Themes: Authority, Security, Responsibility.

Dear Lord, like Pilate, I ask for your guidance and protection. Help me to secure my heart and mind against the temptations and trials of this world. Give me the strength to resist the enemy’s attacks and to stand firm in my faith. May your Holy Spirit be my guard and shield, guiding me on the path of righteousness. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Verse: Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
Matthew 27:65

This is a Command. The command is for the guards to make the area secure.
