Prayer for Protection – A Prayer for God’s Shield and Safety

Posted on 08 Dec 2025

Life can feel uncertain. News headlines bring fear. Challenges arise unexpectedly. But the Bible tells us that God is our refuge, fortress, and strong tower. When you feel unsafe, anxious, or exposed, you can pray for God’s protection and trust that He watches over you day and night.

## A Powerful Prayer for Protection

“Heavenly Father, I come to You today seeking Your divine protection.
Surround me with Your angels and guard my steps.
Cover my mind from fear, my heart from worry, and my body from harm.
Protect my home, my family, and everyone connected to me.
Cancel every plan of the enemy and let no weapon formed against me prosper.
Be my refuge, my fortress, and my shield.
I trust in You, and I declare that I am safe in Your care.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

## Scriptures for Protection
Psalm 91:2

“He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Psalm 121:7–8

“The Lord will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life. The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”

Isaiah 54:17

“No weapon formed against you will prosper.”

When fear tries to enter your mind, speak these scriptures aloud.

## Protection for Your Home and Family

“Lord, place Your hedge of protection around my home and everyone who lives here.
Let Your angels stand guard at every door and window.
Remove anything that is not from You, and fill this place with Your peace and presence.
Let our home be a sanctuary of safety and joy. Amen.”

Your home can be a spiritual fortress of peace.

## Protection While Traveling

“Father, as I travel today, guide my steps, protect my journey, and keep me from danger.
Let every plan, vehicle, and path be covered by Your hand.
Bring me safely to my destination and back again. Amen.”

Invite God into your travels — not just your destination.

## A Declaration of Protection

Say this in faith:

“God is with me. God goes before me. God surrounds me. No harm will come near me. His angels guard and protect me.”

Declarations shift fear into faith.
