Father, I come to You humbly and on my knees to ask You for one thing;
Please protect me from all forms of evil.
Lord, there are things that are out of my control and I fear for what might happen,
fear for myself and for my family.
Forgive me for being afraid,
because I know Your Word says that You have not given me a Spirit of fear,
but of power, love, and self-control.
This world with all its problems, with all its pain, and with all the darkness,
feels overwhelming at times, as if it's too powerful for me to handle.
But You are so much bigger than this world
and he who dwells in the shelter of the most high will abide in the shadow of the almighty.
You, Lord, are my refuge and my fortress; my God in whom I trust.
You are my hiding place and my Shield,
I have full hope in Your Word because Your every Word proves true.
I know there are evil men in this world and behind all evil walks the devil;
He prowls like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour.
But Your Word gives me power and the authority to fight back.
James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Not he might flee. It says he will flee.
Father, I submit my whole life to You.
I fully surrender every aspect of my life to You, help me to be sober-minded and watchful.
Please empower me with Your Spirit to overcome all evil and to shine Your light on the darkness.
Father, I know that Your Word says that we will face trials of various kinds in this temporary world
and that we should count it as joy because the testing of my faith will produce steadfastness, making me stronger.
But Jesus, You also taught us to pray for protection from evil.
So, I am now asking You to protect me, Your child, from all evil; physical and spiritual.
You are the one and only God: Mighty powerful; Elohim.
There is no one like You. No one is more powerful than You: God almighty; El Shaddai.
And even though you are God of all that lives and breathes, you still love me; a normal lowly human.
Thank you!
Thank you for caring about me and thank you that I can trust You to protect me.
You are Yahweh Nissi, the Lord my banner.
So I will not fear anymore, I will not be shaken because I can confidently say the Lord is my helper.
I will not fear, what can man do to me if God is for me, who can be against me?
And even if I lose everything, or if I have to die as a martyr, then so be it.
Because this world is not my home, and it is only temporary.
My home is with You, Lord.
Eternal life with You and all my brothers and sisters in Christ far outweighs this life in value.
It cannot even begin to compete. Thank you, Lord.
I can feel the strength of Your Spirit within me.
You, Lord, are my Shepherd; I shall not want.
You make me lie down in green pastures. You lead me beside still waters. You restore my soul.
Lead me in paths of righteousness for Your name's sake,
even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.
Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil,
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Amen.
