Japanese Every time we say the Lord’s Prayer we ask God to protect us from evil, in the words “deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:13). There are other traditional prayers for protection too: Psalm 91, St Patrick’s Breastplate, the evening prayer “Lighten our darkness” and, for Catholics, the prayer to St Michael.
Praying does not take the place of practical help, so if someone is threatening you, call the police: 911 in the US, 999 in the UK. If fear of evil is constant or keeps you from sleeping, talk to a pastor or priest, and to a doctor. There are also Christian prayer and crisis lines.
Traditional prayers for protection from evil
The Lord’s Prayer: “deliver us from evil”
Jesus taught this prayer to his disciples, and its last petition asks God for protection from evil. The 1928 Book of Common Prayer gives the Lord’s Prayer in this form for family prayer in the evening.
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, Evening, p. 593
The Catholic Catechism reads “evil” in this petition as a person: “evil is not an abstraction, but refers to a person, Satan, the Evil One, the angel who opposes God” (paragraph 2851). And the next paragraph adds, “One who entrusts himself to God does not dread the devil.”
Psalm 91
Psalm 91 promises God’s protection from danger by night and by day, and it speaks of angels given charge “to keep thee in all thy ways.” Here are verses 1 to 11 in the King James Version.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Psalm 91:1–11
We pray this psalm in trust, and the Gospels show how it can be misused. When the devil tempted Jesus to throw himself from the Temple, he quoted verses 11 and 12 as a guarantee, and Jesus answered, “It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God” (Matthew 4:6–7).
St Patrick’s Breastplate
St Patrick’s Breastplate is an Old Irish prayer that tradition gives to St Patrick himself. In English it is best known as the hymn “I bind unto myself to-day,” which Cecil Frances Alexander made in 1889 and which the Church of Ireland sings on St Patrick’s Day. In these three stanzas from her version we ask God’s protection against evil in every form.
I bind unto myself to-day
The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need.
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward;
The Word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.Against the demon snares of sin,
The vice that gives temptation force,
The natural lusts that war within,
The hostile men that mar my course;
Or few or many, far or nigh,
In every place, and in all hours,
Against their fierce hostility,
I bind to me these holy powers.Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.St Patrick’s Breastplate, version of Cecil Frances Alexander, in C. H. H. Wright, The Writings of Saint Patrick, Appendix II
Morning and evening prayers from the Book of Common Prayer
The 1928 Book of Common Prayer asks for protection at both ends of the day, and in Morning Prayer the Collect for Grace asks:
O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings, being ordered by thy governance, may be righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Morning Prayer, A Collect for Grace, p. 17
In Evening Prayer, and again in Family Prayer at night, the Collect for Aid against Perils asks:
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Evening Prayer, A Collect for Aid against Perils, p. 31
The Litany in the same book names the evils plainly, and the people answer each line: “From all evil and mischief; from sin; from the crafts and assaults of the devil; from thy wrath, and from everlasting damnation, Good Lord, deliver us” (p. 54).
A prayer for the home at night
Near the end of Compline, the Church’s night prayer, comes this prayer asking God to keep a house free of evil. We give it as it is printed in A Manual of Prayers, the Catholic prayer book published in 1888 by order of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore.
Visit, we beseech Thee, O Lord, this habitation, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy: let Thy holy Angels dwell therein to keep us in peace: and may Thy blessing be upon us always. Through our Lord. Amen.
A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity (1888), Evening Prayers (Compline), p. 75
The 1928 Book of Common Prayer ends its evening family prayer with a blessing that suits the same moment, “The Lord bless us and keep us. The Lord make his face to shine upon us, and be gracious unto us. The Lord lift up his countenance upon us, and give us peace, this night and evermore. Amen” (p. 593). Its words echo the priestly blessing of Numbers 6:24–26.
The prayer to St Michael the Archangel
Pope Leo XIII ordered this prayer to be said after every Low Mass. It is addressed to the archangel Michael, who fights the dragon in Revelation 12:7, and it asks for protection against the devil. Catholics and Orthodox Christians ask angels and saints to pray for them, while most Protestants pray to God alone. We give the text from Francis Xavier Lasance’s Catholic prayer book With God (1911).
Holy Michael, Archangel, defend us in the day of battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust down to hell Satan and all wicked spirits, who roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
F. X. Lasance, With God (1911), Prayers Ordered by Pope Leo XIII to be Said after Every Low Mass
Short prayers for protection
Before sleep
Lord, I am lying down now, and I cannot keep watch over myself. You neither slumber nor sleep. Keep this house through the night, keep my mind from fear and bad dreams, and wake me in peace. “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8). Amen.
When you are afraid
Jesus, I am afraid, and I cannot say exactly of what. You have already overcome every power that could harm me. Your word says, “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Give me that sound mind now, and let me rest in you. Amen.
For the home
Father, this house is yours. Keep evil out of every room and every conversation in it. Let your angels keep watch here, as your word promises that “no evil” shall come near the dwelling of those who trust you (Psalm 91:10). Fill this place with prayer and peace. Amen.
For your family and children
Lord, I cannot follow my children everywhere they go. Keep them in body and soul, at school, on the road and online, and put wise people beside them when I am not there. “The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee” (Numbers 6:24–25). Amen.
Against lies and deception
God of truth, some of what I hear is false, and I cannot always tell which part. Show me who is honest and who means me harm. Your word says, “believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God” (1 John 4:1). Give me clear sight, and keep me from being led where you do not want me to go. Amen.
Putting on the armor of God
Lord, I put on the armor of God you have given me: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is your word. Let my faith be a shield “to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Ephesians 6:16), and keep me praying. Amen.
In temptation
Father, the evil that frightens me most is the evil I might choose. You promised that you “will with the temptation also make a way to escape” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Show me that way now, and give me the will to take it. “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). Amen.
For a hedge of protection
Lord, Satan complained that you had made “an hedge about” Job, “and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side” (Job 1:10). Put that hedge around me and the people I love. Guard us from every harm you do not intend for our good, and keep us faithful through whatever you allow. Amen.
For someone who wishes you harm
Jesus, you told us to “bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you” (Luke 6:28). There is someone who wishes me harm. Protect me from what they intend, and change their heart. Keep me from hating them or paying them back. I leave justice to you. Amen.
Does God always protect Christians from evil?
Scripture promises that no evil power can separate a Christian from God, but it does not promise a life without suffering. Paul wrote that neither “angels, nor principalities, nor powers” can separate believers “from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38–39), and that on the cross Christ “spoiled principalities and powers” and “made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15). Jesus prayed for his disciples, “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil” (John 17:15), and he also told them, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Job shows this most plainly, for the hedge Satan complained about in Job 1:10 was lowered, and Job lost his children and his goods. Still he answered, “shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” (Job 2:10). So when we pray for protection we are making a request in trust, and the prayer is not a formula that works on its own. What the New Testament tells us to do against the devil is simple: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
Is there a prayer to send evil back to the person who sent it?
Some prayers ask God to “return to sender” a curse or evil wish, or to strike down the person behind it, but Jesus taught us the opposite: “Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you” (Luke 6:27–28). Paul said it again, “Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not” and “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:14, 21). So we can ask God to protect us from someone’s ill will and leave judgment to him, for he says, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay” (Romans 12:19).
Scripture also shows that curses have no power against God’s people. Balaam, who was hired to curse Israel, said, “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?” (Numbers 23:8), and Proverbs says that “the curse causeless shall not come” (Proverbs 26:2).
What if someone believes evil spirits are in the house?
In any church, the first person to call is a pastor or priest, who can pray in the home. In the Catholic Church, the solemn rite of exorcism “can be performed only by a priest and with the permission of the bishop.” The Catechism adds that “illness, especially psychological illness, is a very different matter; treating this is the concern of medical science,” and that before any exorcism “it is important to ascertain that one is dealing with the presence of the Evil One, and not an illness” (paragraph 1673).
Prayer for a Shield of Faith
Here we ask God to strengthen our faith, which is like a shield against the doubts and fears that evil uses to try to weaken our bond with God. When our faith is strong, we can stand firm against negativity and harmful influences.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today asking for a stronger shield of faith. Help us to believe in Your power and Your love more deeply than ever before. When evil tries to plant seeds of doubt or make us afraid, let our faith in You be so strong that those attempts fail.
Protect our hearts and minds with the certainty of Your promises. Remind us that You are always with us and that nothing can separate us from Your love. Help us to trust in Your plan, even when we don’t understand it, and to know that You are working all things for our good.
Give us the courage to stand firm in what we believe, and to be a light for others who may be struggling. May our faith not only protect us but also inspire those around us to seek You. Strengthen us, Lord, to face any challenge with the confidence that comes from knowing You are our protector.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
With that shield we can face the unknown with courage, knowing God is with us, as Ephesians 6:16 tells us: “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
Prayer for Divine Guardianship
In this prayer we ask God to be our guardian, watching over us like a bodyguard and keeping us from unseen dangers and from evil intentions. We trust his power to keep us safe in every part of our lives.
Almighty God,
We humbly ask for Your divine guardianship over us, our families, and all that we hold dear. Be our watchful protector, our strong tower, and our safe refuge. Keep us from the snares of the wicked and from those who would seek to harm us in body, mind, or spirit.
Send Your holy angels to encamp around us, to guard us in all our ways. Let Your presence be a constant shield, deflecting any evil that may be directed towards us. Guide our steps away from dangerous paths and lead us into places of safety and peace.
We place our trust in Your unfailing protection, knowing that You are more powerful than any force of darkness. Cover us with Your grace, and let Your light shine so brightly within us that no evil can find a place to dwell. Thank You for being our ever-present guardian.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
We depend on God for our safety, and it is a comfort to know that the Creator of all is watching over us. Psalm 91:11 promises, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
Prayer for Clarity Against Deception
Evil often works by confusing us or by making bad things look good. Here we ask God for the wisdom to see through lies and tricks, and for a clear mind and a discerning spirit that can recognize deception and choose what is right and true.
Lord of Truth,
We come to You seeking clarity and discernment to protect us from all forms of deception. The world is full of confusing messages and voices that try to lead us astray. Please, Father, grant us the wisdom to see things as You see them, to recognize a lie even when it is cleverly disguised.
Sharpen our spiritual eyesight and hearing so that we are not fooled by false promises or misleading appearances. Help us to test every spirit and to hold fast to what is good and true. Protect us from being manipulated or drawn into situations that would harm us or dishonor You.
Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, who guides us into all truth. Let Your Word be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, illuminating the way of righteousness and exposing the darkness of deceit. We desire to walk in honesty and integrity, and we need Your help to do so.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
In a world where truth is often hidden, God’s wisdom gives us the light we need to find our way safely. As Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Prayer for a Hedge of Protection
Here we ask God to build a spiritual “hedge” around us, a fence that evil influences cannot easily cross, so that his presence surrounds us and keeps harmful things away.
Gracious Father,
We ask You today to place a hedge of protection around us. Like a strong fence that keeps out unwanted intruders, let Your divine power encircle us, our homes, and our loved ones, keeping evil far away.
Protect us from seen and unseen dangers, from spiritual attacks, and from any influence that seeks to draw us away from You. Let this hedge be a barrier against negativity, fear, and temptation. May we dwell securely within the boundaries of Your loving care.
Strengthen this spiritual wall daily, Lord, and help us to remain within its safety by living according to Your will. Thank You for being our constant protector and for the peace that comes from knowing we are surrounded by Your might.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
The hedge stands for God’s care all around us and his power to keep evil away, and it is a comfort to picture it. Hosea 2:6 also speaks of hedging up a way, though in a different context, and shows God’s power to set boundaries. Closer to our prayer, we trust God’s character as a protector, which the Psalms describe again and again: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer” (Psalm 18:2).
Prayer for Strength in Spiritual Warfare
In this prayer we ask God for the strength to stand against evil and for his power to overcome it. The fight is a spiritual one, against bad influences and temptations, not a physical one.
Lord God Almighty,
We acknowledge that we are in a spiritual battle against forces of darkness that seek to disrupt our peace and our relationship with You. We ask You, Mighty Warrior, to grant us supernatural strength to stand firm and fight effectively in this warfare.
Equip us with the full armor of God, as described in Your Word: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word. Help us to use these spiritual weapons skillfully.
Teach us to be vigilant and prayerful, always relying on Your power and not our own. Give us courage when we feel weak, wisdom when we are confused, and perseverance when the battle is long. Remind us that the victory is ultimately Yours, and we fight from a place of that victory through Jesus Christ.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
In this warfare we lean on God’s strength and keep ourselves ready. As Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Prayer for Breaking Curses and Evil Intent
Here we ask God to break any harmful words, curses or evil intentions aimed at us, trusting that his power is greater than any plan made against us, whether by other people or by spiritual forces of evil.
Sovereign Lord,
We come before You, acknowledging Your supreme power over all creation, including any force of evil or any curse spoken against us. We ask You, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, to break and cancel any and all curses, hexes, spells, evil wishes, or negative assignments that have been sent our way, whether knowingly or unknowingly.
Let no weapon formed against us prosper. We declare that Your power is infinitely greater than any evil intent. Release us from any bondage or influence these things may have tried to establish in our lives. Cleanse us, our families, and our homes from any dark shadow.
Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and surround us with Your divine light, making us untouchable by such evil. We put our trust in Your protection and declare that we are covered by the blood of Jesus, which is our ultimate defense. Thank You for Your delivering power.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
When we pray this way, we are trusting God’s authority over all things and his power to protect us from all harm, and in faith we claim the freedom Christ won for us. As Galatians 3:13 states, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’”
Prayer for Purity of Heart and Mind
Evil often attacks us from the inside, through negative thoughts or wrong desires, so here we ask God to keep our thoughts and desires pure and our hearts and minds set on what is good and holy.
Creator God,
We come to You asking for purity of heart and mind. You know our innermost thoughts and the desires of our hearts. We pray that You would cleanse us from any impure thoughts, unholy desires, or negative attitudes that create an opening for evil to enter our lives.
Help us to guard our minds against harmful influences from the world around us, whether it’s through media, conversations, or our own imaginations. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us. Guide our thoughts to dwell on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy.
Fill us so much with Your love and Your light that there is no room for darkness. Help us to make choices each day that honor You and keep our hearts and minds aligned with Your will. We desire to be holy, as You are holy.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
What goes on inside us often decides how open we are to evil, and a pure heart is a strong defense. Matthew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
Prayer for the Blood of Jesus as Protection
In this prayer we call on the symbolic power of the blood of Jesus Christ for protection. Christians believe that his sacrifice on the cross, where his blood was shed, was the act that defeated sin and evil, and we ask for that victory to cover and protect us.
Lord Jesus Christ,
We come to You in faith, remembering Your precious sacrifice on the cross. We believe that Your blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins and for our deliverance from the power of evil. Today, we plead the protection of Your holy blood over ourselves, our families, our homes, and everything that concerns us.
Let Your blood be a spiritual covering that evil cannot penetrate. May it cleanse us from all unrighteousness and create a barrier against any demonic force, any sickness, any fear, and any attack of the enemy. We declare that by Your stripes we are healed and by Your blood we are redeemed and protected.
Thank You, Jesus, for this ultimate weapon against the darkness. We stand under the banner of Your love and the seal of Your sacrifice, confident in the power of Your blood to keep us safe from all harm and to give us victory in every situation.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
To pray this way is to trust his redeeming work and to declare that Christ has triumphed over all evil. Revelation 12:11 tells us, “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
Prayer for Wisdom to Avoid Evil Situations
Here we ask God for good judgment: the wisdom to recognize the situations and people that could lead us into trouble or expose us to evil, and the discernment to stay away from them and keep to a safe path.
God of all Wisdom,
We ask You to grant us the discernment and wisdom needed to avoid evil situations and dangerous paths. Help us to recognize early warnings and to have the courage to turn away from anything or anyone that might lead us into temptation, sin, or harm.
Guide our decisions, big and small, so that we walk in ways of safety and peace. Give us understanding to identify traps set by the enemy and the foresight to steer clear of unnecessary trouble. Let Your Holy Spirit be our guide, prompting us when we are heading towards something that is not good for us or not in Your will.
We don’t want to learn through painful experiences if they can be avoided through Your wisdom. Teach us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves, navigating this world with spiritual intelligence and a heart loyal to You.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Asking God for this wisdom is a practical way to live out our faith and protect ourselves, and he has promised to give it to those who ask. James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
Prayer for God’s Light to Dispel Darkness
Just as a light makes the darkness in a room disappear, God’s light can drive out darkness and evil and protect us from every harmful spiritual influence. Here we ask him to let his light shine in our lives and all around us.
Father of Lights,
We pray for Your glorious light to shine brightly in our lives, in our homes, and in all the places we go. You are Light, and in You, there is no darkness at all. We ask that Your presence would illuminate every dark corner, dispelling all shadows of evil, fear, and despair.
Let Your light expose any hidden works of darkness that may try to affect us. Protect us by surrounding us with Your radiance, making us beacons of Your presence. Where Your light dwells, evil cannot remain. Fill our hearts with Your light so that we may also shine for You in a world that often walks in darkness.
Help us to walk as children of the Light, reflecting Your goodness, righteousness, and truth. May Your light guide our steps and keep us safe from stumbling into the snares of the enemy. Thank you for being our eternal source of light and salvation.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
When we ask for his light, we confess his power and holiness and seek his presence as a shield against evil. John tells us what becomes of the darkness: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5).
Prayer for Protection While Sleeping
We can feel vulnerable when we sleep, so in this prayer we ask God to watch over us through the night and guard our minds and bodies from any harm or evil influence while we rest.
Heavenly Father,
As we prepare for sleep, we come to You asking for Your special protection throughout the night. Guard our minds from nightmares, disturbing dreams, and any fear that the darkness may try to bring. Protect our bodies from any harm or sickness while we are vulnerable in sleep.
Send Your holy angels to watch over our homes and to create a peaceful atmosphere where we can rest securely. Let Your presence be a comforting shield around us, warding off any evil spirit or negative influence that might seek to disturb our peace or attack us in our rest.
We commit our spirits, souls, and bodies into Your loving hands. Grant us refreshing sleep so that we may wake up renewed in strength and spirit, ready to serve You another day. Thank You for Your constant care, day and night.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
So we put the hours when we are most defenseless into God’s loving care, and we can lie down with peace of mind, depending on him by night as by day. Psalm 4:8 offers this comfort: “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
Prayer for Overcoming Fear of Evil
If we are afraid of evil, of Satan or of dark forces, this prayer asks God to help us overcome that fear. In its place we ask for a strong confidence in his greater power and in his promise to protect those who trust in him.
Almighty God,
We come before You today acknowledging that sometimes the thought of evil, darkness, or the enemy’s schemes can bring fear into our hearts. But Your Word tells us that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. We ask You to help us overcome every fear of evil.
Remind us that You are greater than any power in this world or any spiritual force of darkness. Fill us with a holy courage that comes from knowing You are with us, You are for us, and nothing can stand against You. When fearful thoughts arise, help us to immediately turn to You and Your promises.
Let Your perfect love cast out all fear. Strengthen our faith so that we stand firm, not intimidated by the enemy, but confident in Your victory and Your unfailing protection. Help us to live boldly and joyfully, knowing that the One who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
To live in the freedom and peace of Christ we need to be free of the fear of evil, and so we ask God for courage and for trust in his authority. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
