Let’s face it – the world is getting uglier and scarier with each passing day. It’s natural to want to protect ourselves and the people we love and keep them safe from the evil that lurks around every corner. It’s good to have a reliable source to go to ensure safety. My reliable source is God.
Here is my protection plan to ensure safety for myself and loved ones that I rely on.
Praying For Protection Against Evil
God always looks out for us, even when we may not realize it. He never leaves us or forsakes us. All we are required to do is commit our safety into God’s hands.
- Set Aside A Quiet Peaceful Place
Find a calm and undisturbed space where you can focus on prayer without distractions
- Begin With Revernce
Start your prayer by acknowledging and praising God’s power, goodness, and love. This helps to center your mind and spirit in a place of trust and faith.
- Express Your Concerns
Share your specific concerns and fears with God. Be honest and open about the areas in your life where you feel vulnerable or threatened.
- Seek God’s Protection
Ask God for His divine protection and intervention in your life. Pray for His guidance, strength, and wisdom to navigate any challenges or temptations that may come your way.
- Claim God’s Promises
Draw on the promises of God’s Word. See Psalm 91. Declare these promises as you seek His protection. Declare “God is my refuge,” He will deliver me from the snare of the Fowler” “No evil will happen to me…”
- Repent and Renounce
If there are any known sins or areas in your life where you have strayed from God’s ways, confess them to Him and seek His forgiveness. Renounce any connection or involvement with evil or ungodly influences.
- Put On The Spiritual Armor
Invoke the spiritual armor described in Ephesians 6:10-18, which includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, and prayer. Visualize yourself putting on each piece of armor and ask for God‘s protection through each peace.
- Pray For Spiritual Discernment
Ask God to give you discernment to recognize and avoid evil influences, temptations, and deception. Pray for clarity and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
- End With Gratitude And Trust
End your prayer with gratitude for God’s love, protection, and faithfulness. Express your trust in His ability to guard and guide you, knowing that He is greater than any evil you may face.
- In Jesus Name Amen
This is my plan, you can adapt your own plan and steps as you pray for your protection.
Amen means ‘so be it’ or ‘may it be so.’
