Mosquito netting.
It is some amazing stuff! It has saved thousands of lives from malaria and other diseases spread by mosquitoes and it isn't something expensive or a toxic chemical.
When I was in Africa I used a mosquito net every night when I went to bed. For the first few nights I never saw or heard a mosquito but kept my netting down over my bed just in case. Then one night when I turned off the light and I lied down I heard the unmistakable buzz of a mosquito. I turned on the light and saw that pesky thing, flying around trying to get at me. It was so weird that I could hear one of my enemies but I knew that it wouldn't get me because of my barrier. At first it was odd trying to go to sleep with it buzzing around, but then I rested in the fact that I was not going to be it's dinner and I slept well!
What is buzzing around trying to get to you? Money problems? Medical issues/an illness? A wayward child?
Whatever the name of your enemy, if you are a child of God don't forget that you have more than just netting to keep you safe; you have a Father!
A Father who is the Creator of the universe. Who rules and reigns over all and everything is subject to Him! Who spoke and there was life! So do as He teaches us and pray, believe He will handle it, then keep living your life in the peace He gives you. 6 Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. Philippians 4:6-7
Dear one, remember, you may hear that pesky mosquito buzzing around but when you give it to your Father our enemy can't get to you!

You can go to God Most High to hide.
You can go to God All-Powerful for protection.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress.
My God, I trust in you.”
3 God will save you from hidden dangers
and from deadly diseases.
4 You can go to him for protection.
He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies.
You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield. Psalm 91:1-4
