The Lord Himself!

The Lord himself watches over you!  
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, 
both now and forever. 
Psalm 121:5-8

This was a song for the pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.  They were traveling great distances along rough terrain and dessert conditions.  Often our journey in life can feel as if we are traveling this same road.  It can feel forever long and as if the sun is scorching down on us.  There are times that we feel alone as if in the dark of night.  This road can get scary and we feel like there is no one there to care for or help us.  Friend, God is with you.  He watches you move and change directions.  He knows when you need a break and when you need the strength to keep walking.  He delights in being your protection, and whether in the heat of the moment or in the coolness of the lonely night, He will not let anything harm you.  He loves you my dear friend!  Forever and ever He is with you!
