A Child’s Prayer for Protection

We do many things to ensure that we are safe and protected from any harm or danger that may happen to us. We lock the doors of our house at night to ensure that the bad guys won’t be able to enter our house and do us harm. If we are going outside the house, we make sure to be aware of our surroundings and avoid places that are known to be dangerous. We may do, and we should do, everything that we can to ensure the safety and protection of our loved ones and ourselves, but at the end of the day, it is God who protects us. Therefore, we should always pray to God, our Father, for protection. (Psalm 27:1)

What is a good prayer for protection?

Here is a prayer you can pray to God for protection:

Heavenly Father, I thank You because You are my Father who looks after me. Everywhere I go, whether I am at home or at school, You are always with me. You never leave me nor forsake me. Father, I pray that You will protect me from any kind of harm or danger. Always keep my loved ones and me safe and sound. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

When you pray and ask God for protection for you and your loved ones, always remember that You are asking God, who is Your Father. Because of what Jesus has done for you on the cross, you have been adopted as God’s child. That is why through Christ, you can pray to God as your Father and come to His throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help you in your time of need. (Romans 8:15)(Hebrews 4:16)

What is a good Bible verse for protection?

There are so many Bible verses that talk about protection. Here is one from 2 Thessalonians 3:3, where it was written:

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”

Our ultimate enemy is the devil (Ephesians 6:12). There is evil in this world, not just because of humanity’s sinfulness, but also because of the devil. However, God is sovereign over the devil and is the one who guards you and keeps you.

Here are some other Bible verses that you can meditate upon:

Psalm 23:4

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Psalm 23:5-6

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

1 John 4:4

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Psalm 121:5

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

Psalm 59:16

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Psalm 118:6

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

Matthew 10:28

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

How do you pray Psalm 91?

You can also find more Bible verses about protection in the book of Psalms. One example is Psalm 91. Here is one of the verses from Psalm 91 that speaks about protection:

“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”

-Psalm 91:2

You can pray the Psalms. For example, as you pray for protection, you can use Psalm 91 as the basis of your prayer. Here is one example of how you can pray Psalm 91:

Heavenly Father, You are my refuge and my fortress, in whom I trust. Under Your wings, I find refuge, and Your faithfulness towards me is my shield and buckler. I will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday, because You are my refuge and my fortress. You are the One who protects me, the One who rescues me, and the One who is with me in times of trouble. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

 

How do you pray Psalm 121?

Here is another example of praying a Psalm. This time we are basing our prayer on (Psalm 121). Here is an example of how you can pray Psalm 121 for protection:

Father in heaven, I lift up my eyes towards You, from whom my help always comes, the One who made heaven and the earth. I thank You because You are the One who keeps me from evil. You are my shade on my right hand. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

We live in a fallen and broken world. However, no matter what lies ahead of us, we are eternally secured and safe in Christ in His kingdom. This world is a temporary one. It shall pass away. But in Christ, we have security in the knowledge that God has prepared a place for us, a place where harm and danger will no longer exist. That is what we ought to look forward to even more. (John 14:2-3)(Revelation 21:4)
