Pray for my safety

Please someone say a prayer for me I pray all the time in my mind throughout the day and in my room at night but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right I don’t go to church and was never baptized but I feel the lord in my soul it’s more like I’m just talking to the Holy Spirit through my soul hoping the lord can hear my thoughts I live in a really bad area surrounded by gangs and stuff I just want to be able to have the strength to remove myself from the evil energy that surrounds me I don’t belong around this type of stuff I understand it’s trials, and tribulations but tbh I’m tired my soul hurts please pray I stay safe and find the courage to overcome these obstacles
