Prayers for Protection

Dear heavenly Father, we live in such evil days, I pray against all enemy activities that are being done in secret, which are designed to harm and to destroy us. Protect Your people we pray, bring the attacks of the enemy to nothing and foil all the plans and purposes that are harmful to us..

Lord we know that it is not Your will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance in Christ, and so we pray for the souls of those that are bound by the lies and deceit of the enemy and who are being manipulated by the deception of the evil one.

We ask that in Your grace and mercy those that have been blinded to the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ by the activities of the enemy would be brought into a knowledge of the saving gospel and come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour – we ask this for His praise and glory and in Jesus name, Amen.

Lord God, I pray for Your protection as I begin this day. You are my hiding place, and under Your wings I can always find refuge. Protect me from trouble wherever I go, and keep evil far from me. No matter where I am, I will look to You as my Protector, the One Who fights for me every day. Your love and faithfulness, along with Your goodness and mercy, surround me daily, so I will not fear whatever might come against me. My trust is in You, God, and I give thanks to You for Your love and protection. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Dear Father, You are like a wing that shelters my children, strong with protection, soft with grace. You are like a shield that encircles them each day. They run free and you are with them as they adventure. You are like a crown placed upon their heads, a symbol of sonship, of belonging and of their adoption into your family. Lord, I place them into your great care and declare that they are yours. Amen.

Lord, I pray for your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over my family. Keep evil far from us, and help us to trust You as our refuge and strength. I pray You will guard our minds from harmful instruction, and grant us discernment to recognize truth. I pray You will make us strong and courageous in the presence of danger, recognizing that You have overcome and will set right all injustice and wrong one day. Help us to find rest in Your shadow, as we live in the spiritual shelter You provide for us. Let us know that the only safe place is in you, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the Name,
The strong Name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same.
The Three in One, and One in Three,

Of Whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord.

Lord Jesus, I ask You to protect my husband and shield him from danger. Make him strong, defined by Your character, so that he can lean hard on You for wisdom in any situation. Guard him by the power of Your name, and allow nothing formed against him to prosper. Hold him close to Your heart, with his eyes focused always on You. At home, work, or wherever he goes, keep his heart and thoughts pure. Lead him away from temptation, and help him to be continually aware of his enemy’s efforts to distract, deceive, or discourage him. Cancel every attempt to discredit my husband or his salvation.

May Your right hand strengthen him daily as You guard him with your presence. Help him wear his spiritual armor well, as he tries to lead his family with integrity and honor. Seal up the exits that cry for escape when responsibilities grow heavy on his shoulders. Thank You that You promise to carry his burdens and lighten his load in the daily battles of life. Preserve his testimony and keep his faith rooted deeply in You, Lord. You are His Sure Defense, and You are the only One who can truly keep him safe. Thank You, Jesus.

Almighty and everlasting God, I bless you from my heart, that of your infinite goodness you have preserved me this night past, and have, with the impregnable defence of your providence, protected me from the power and malice of the devil.

Do not withdraw, I humbly ask you, your protection from me, but mercifully this day watch over me with the eyes of your mercy. Direct my soul and body according to the rule of your will, and fill my heart with your Holy Spirit, that I may pass this day, and all the rest of my days, to your glory,

Amen.

Precious Jesus, You know what it means to be pursued by earthly enemies. And because of Your compassion and understanding, You know the harm we and our families face every day. As Christians and followers of Yours, we will be marked as enemies. Our children need protection from bullies, from misguided avengers, and from false philosophies that attack their spiritual heritage. Fiendish plots pursue our children’s hearts daily and try to entice them into harmful practices. Hold our loved ones tightly, Lord, and never let them go.

Command Your angels, Lord, to keep us in all our ways, so that no harm or disaster will come near to our home or our lives. Our trust is not in our ability but in Your stability as our El Shaddai. Our weapons of warfare are spiritual, and we look to You for victory. Show us when to speak up, when to listen, and when to act, always aware that You are fighting our battles for us and with us. Teach us to love our enemies, to pray for them, but to resist evil in Your powerful name. We don’t fear those who might try to hurt us physically. We are confident in our eternal security. Our fear is a holy, righteous reverence based on Who You are and Whose we have become in You. As Commander and Chief, You will defend us from all earthly enemies. And as long as You are with us, we fear no evil. In Your name, Amen.

Dear Lord, thank You that You are with me throughout each and every day and night, and thank You that you never leave me nor forsake me. Lord, You know my work situation, that there are hidden dangers and various health and safety issues that require me to be very vigilant, and I ask that You would keep and protect me (and all those with whom I work), from any and all unforeseen dangers, accident or emergencies.

Thank You, Lord, that You have promised to be my protection and shield. Thank You, that You are before me and behind me, to inspire and to guide. Thank You, that You are my God and I am Your child. May the light of Your prescence shine on me and enfold me today in all the duties I am required to do. Thank You for the assurance that there is nothing that is beyond Your notice and abilities, and that I am kept by Your mighty power. Thank You, in Jesus name,

Amen.

Thank You, Father, for the many precious promises we have from You. Thank You, that you have promised to be with us and to keep us no matter where we are or how far we roam. Lord, You know that it is necessary for me to have to go out into this dark night and I pray for Your protection and grace. I ask that You would keep me from all perils and dangers of this night, for the love of Your only Son my Saviour Jesus Christ.

Thank You, that there is nowhere that I can go that is beyond the perimeter of Your protection and as You promised in Your Word, wherever I go, Your hand will guide me and whatever I do, your right hand will hold me fast. Thank You, that no matter how dark the night may be, the light of Your love is ever present with me, for You are the Light that brightens up the darkest places and will shine the brightness of Your presence before my face, to lighten up the night around me. Praise Your holy name. In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Heavenly Father, we lift up before You the many thousands of Christians around the world who are being cruelly persecuted, abused, tortured and killed and there is little or no outcry about the atrocities that are been perpetrated against so many world-wide. Father, we pray for Your protection from the psychological exhaustion and emotional fear that so many are going through, and we pray that Your Holy Spirit would draw so close to them and protect them. Give them the spiritual strength to endure under such inhumane regimes.

Guard and guide them we pray. Provide for them and empower them to know and experience the love of God, and give them the strength to remain firm in the faith. Enable them we pray, to be fruitful witnesses of the love of Christ, despite the evils and atrocities that are being perpetrated against them. And Father, we ask that they would so grow in grace that they may be able to forgive their persecutors and demonstrate the love of Christ towards those who are dead in their trespasses and sins.

May Your mighty hand of protection be upon all that are suffering in this manner and give them the fixed assurance that God will right every wrong in His own time and in His own way. In Jesus’ name we pray,

Amen.

Loving Lord, thank You that You are with us through all the twists and turns of life and that wherever we go, You have promised to be with us and have given us Your assurance that Your presence will accompany us to lead and to guide, to protect and to help. Father, as we set out on this journey today, we ask that You would travel with us.

Keep us alert to the difficulties and dangers that we may encounter along the way, and undertake we pray, that nothing unforeseen may delay or hinder our journey, whether it be mechanical, the weather or any other unforeseen problem. We also pray that we would be kept by the power of God in the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, and that this may be a journey where You are lifted up in our thoughts as well as well as our prayers.

Thank You, Lord, that in all things we may come to You and offer our prayers and petitions to You, knowing that You hear and answer all Your children. Thank You, in Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Thank You, Father, that You are my Shepherd and I am under Your watchful eye and protected by Your gracious hand. Thank You, for the care and protection that You show towards me with each passing day. Lord, at times I feel weary and worn, and sometimes I feel quite alone, despite the many people that surround me.

Look in grace and pity on me for I am Your child, the sheep of Your pasture, the little lamb that needs to be carried moment by moment on Your shoulders. Lord, my eyes are looking to You to provide and to protect, to lead into green pastures and to feed beside the still waters.

Thank You, that no matter what difficulties arise in my life, my hope and my trust is in You. Thank You, that I have nothing to fear when You are with me. Thank You Father, in Jesus’ name I pray,

Amen.

You are our helper, Mighty One.
and you are no respecter of persons.
Help all your people
bought with the precious blood of Christ.You are our fortress and defender.
No one can snatch us from your hand.
There is no other God like you.
In you we trust.

Sanctify us through your truth.
Your Word is truth.

Preserve us
and all your people
from injury and deceit,
from fear of the enemy,

from the arrow that flies by day,
and the trouble that walks in the darkness,
and grant us eternal life
in Christ, your Son, our Lord and Savior.

Heavenly Father, there are so many false teachings and doctrines of demons that are flooding mainline churches today, and I pray that You would give me discernment and protection from all those, (whether knowingly or unknowingly) who are distorting the word of truth and the gospel of grace.

Give me wisdom and understanding as I read Your Word, so that I may be enabled to discern what is biblical truth and what is a distortion of that truth. Father, Your Word tells us that in the last days there will come times of great difficulty, where love will wear thin and people will be become proud and arrogant, abusive and unholy, having an outward appearance of godliness but denying the truth of the gospel. Protect me I pray, and all those I love from being influenced by such evil distortions, and keep us under Your promised protection, by Your grace.

Protect our hearts and minds from all those who distort the truth, and keep us all covered in the love of God, and protected by the blood of Christ, as we wait for His any day return. He alone is able to keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy. In Jesus’ name we pray,

Amen
