Scripture = Talks to us of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
As I walked quietly in the yard one day, I heard these words, “...no evil shall be allowed to befall you,no plague come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways”. {Psalm 91:10-11}.
Notice = Reflect on God and on His Word.
Daily for many months, I take notice and reflect on God’s promise in His Word. When going through difficult and disturbing times, this promise of God stands out. It is for all His children. I recall the promise in good times, too. As our dwelling place, we live IN HIM. He is Yahweh, our protector from evil, our provider of physical and spiritual needs, and our Saviour. “In all your ways” means our daily walk, our plans, values, and relationships.
Application = Apply it to your own life.
The real snappy test is whether I am applying this promise to my daily life. Honestly, there are times when I don’t. I have times of fear, but I have to recite the promise, ‘that no evil will come near my dwelling’; meaning my loved ones and me, and that His angels are guarding us. I must stand on The Word, and with the help of The Holy Spirit, live the life God wants me to live on earth. And as and when the Holy Spirit reveals something to us, we should record it in our journal.
PRAY = Spend time in prayer.
Spending time in prayer is vital, night and day, praising God and telling him what is on my heart; confession, struggles honestly, and asking Him for the strength and wisdom that I need to live victoriously. Prayer walks are a great way to do prayers, as is finding a secret place. Our prayer life is invaluable, and must include 'praying The Word'.

It was very helpful very me and I can easily remember it. To make your devotional even more impactful, it would have been helpful to add examples from your own life how it was helpful to use.
