Confessions: I am pitiful at remembering where verses are in the Bible. I grew up Baptist but missed the whole bible drill thing. Must have been down the hall scribbling notes on attendance cards and eating sweet tarts. My husband, on the other hand, is ridiculously skilled. He is so good at remembering verses and addresses that I am an eensy bit co-dependent on his ability. It’s not-so-good.
So every once in a while, when an important verse like this comes around with an easy to remember address, I am so appreciative. Check out Psalm 91:11 …
Isn’t that perfect? I call it my 911 prayer. The just right thing to say out loud when my kids head out the door or my son is climbing a big, scary fourteener.
And yes, I realize there’s an extra 1 in there but come on … a girl like me will take whatever she can get.
How about you memorize it with me? Address and all. :)

A Day to Set Aside Multitasking
Hi Susie, I love that scripture. I was always diligent to pray over my oldest daughter that scripture along with others before school. I haven’t been as diligent lately, until now. The tragedy that unfolded at the end of last week reminded me to never take a day for granted. May HIS angels protect us wherever we go!
I have always prayed when I hear a siren and am teaching my girls (3 & 7) to do the same. We pray protection over those in need of help and those responding with help. I think this verse is perfect for this call to prayer and we will incorporate it starting today! Thank you!
Yay!! So glad you’re teaching your girls to pray and praying for those in need. :)
