85+ Powerful Protection Prayer Points + Scriptures!

Protect your faith and life from evil by leaning on God. Here are 13+ scriptures to remind you that God will protect you.

Your prayers are not empty words—they are powerful weapons in spiritual battle. Every time you pray, you stand firm on God’s Word which is like wielding a sword that strikes the enemy (Ephesians 6). This is how you partner with God to defeat the enemy’s plans. God knows everything ahead of time and already has the solution before the problem arises. When you pray, you partner with Him to release His protection and provision.

My own prayer journey began in 2009 when God spoke audibly to me: “If I didn’t make you wait, you wouldn’t have prayed. Make sure that you pray from now on!” Since then, I’ve had countless dreams warning me of danger ahead—God’s way of protecting me before harm could come.

God’s desire is to bring His Kingdom here on earth, where evil, pain, and sickness have no power. You carry authority, as God’s chosen warrior, to stand in that victory and keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
