Deliver us from Evil.

 "Deliver us from evil." — Matthew 6:13 (AMP)

This is the prayer Jesus Himself taught us to pray. It is not a prayer of fear—it is a prayer of authority. You are not begging a distant God to protect you; you are declaring that the God who is with you is greater than any evil that comes against you.

A Prayer for Protection from Evil:

"Lord Jesus,

I come under the shelter of Your wings.

I ask You to protect me from all evil—

every scheme of the enemy,

every work of darkness,

every spirit of fear, accusation, and destruction.

I plead the blood of Jesus over my life—

over my mind, my body, my spirit, my family, my home.

Let Your angels encamp around me.

Let Your fire be a wall of protection around me.

Cover my going out and my coming in.

Guard my thoughts, my words, and my steps.

Let no weapon formed against me prosper.

Let no evil befall me, nor any plague come near my dwelling.

I am not afraid—

for You are with me.

I am not alone—

for You are my refuge and my fortress.

Protect me from evil, Lord.

I trust in You, and I am safe.

In Jesus' name,

Amen."
