Pray the Word
Protection
A Scripture prayer reference library on God’s shelter, defense, preserving power, and watchful care.
Protection in Scripture includes God as refuge, shield, fortress, keeper, and shepherd. It covers danger, persecution, spiritual opposition, and the believer’s call to watchfulness and prayer.
This topic gathers refuge passages, narratives of divine preservation, and New Testament teachings on steadfastness and security in Christ.
Protection in Danger (1)
He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” ... and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire...
Christ-Centered Security (2)
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
My sheep hear my voice... no one will snatch them out of my hand...
Watchfulness and Spiritual Defense (2)
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil... praying at all times in the Spirit...
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Freedom in Christ (1)
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
God as Refuge (2)
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty... He will cover you with his pinions...
God as Deliverer (1)
I love you, O LORD, my strength... The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer...
Short Prayer
Lord, be my refuge and fortress. Keep me watchful, steady, and hidden in Your care.
Extended Prayer
Father, You are my refuge, shield, and strong tower. Keep me from fear, from evil, and from the snares that surround me. Teach me to abide under Your shadow, to watch and pray, and to stand firm in Christ. Guard my home, my family, and my mind, and let Your faithfulness be my shield and defense.
- The Lord is my refuge and fortress.
- God is my shield and defender.
- I dwell under the shadow of the Almighty.
- The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and guard me.
