Protection
Prayer for Safety
Words of refuge, protection, and peace — drawn from many traditions and offered to anyone in need of safekeeping.
Shelter of the Most High
Lord, You are my refuge and my fortress. I choose to dwell in the shelter of the Most High and rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Cover me with Your wings. Shield me from danger seen and unseen. I will not fear the terrors of the night, nor the dangers of the day, for You have promised to be with me in trouble, to deliver me and honor me. Be my safe place today and always. Amen.
— Inspired by Psalm 91
Guard My Path
Heavenly Father, as I go about this day, I ask for Your hand of protection over my life. Go before me and clear the way. Walk beside me so I am never alone. Guard my home, my family, and all who travel with me. When fear creeps in, remind me that You are near. Your faithfulness is my shield. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Watch Over Them, Lord
Lord Jesus, I lift up the ones I love and ask that You surround them with Your protection. Keep them from harm's way. Send Your angels to guard their steps. Where I cannot follow, You can. Where I cannot see, You already know. I release them into Your care, trusting that Your love for them is far greater than my own. Amen.
