A Prayer for Protection:

"Lord,

Protect us from the evil one.

He prowls like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

But greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.

Guard our hearts from his lies.

Shield our minds from his accusations.

Cover our families from his schemes.

Block his attacks against our health, our peace, our faith.

You are our refuge and fortress.

Your name is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.

Your blood covers us.

Your angels encamp around us.

We do not fear, for You are with us.

We do not tremble, for You are greater.

Protect us from the evil one—

today, tonight, and every day until we see Your face.

In Jesus' mighty name,

Amen."

The Promise for You:

The One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. He is faithful. He will guard you. He will not let the enemy snatch you from His hand.

Protect us from the evil one. He hears. He acts. You are safe in Him.
