Prayer For Protection From Evil
Life is full of beauty, but it is also surrounded by unseen dangers. As believers walk through this world, they face battles both visible and invisible. Not all danger announces itself. Sometimes harm is planted quietly in the background—through whispered curses, evil plots, spiritual attacks, and jealous eyes. The world may dress itself in normalcy, but behind closed doors, evil schemes move like shadows, waiting for an opportunity. That’s why prayer is not an option—it is our spiritual defense, a covering, a divine shield.
God never intended His children to walk through life afraid. He provided us weapons—His Word, His blood, His Spirit. Prayer is our alarm system and our guard post. When we cry out to heaven for preservation, God responds with angels, wisdom, escape routes, and the power to stand. These prayers are not just words—they are lifelines. They are shields in the spirit. They call upon the One who never sleeps, who sees what we cannot see, and who knows the path ahead before we take a step.
Whether the danger is a planned accident, a satanic arrow, a jealous colleague, a generational curse, or a spiritual ambush—God has a solution. These thirty deep cries are meant to awaken heaven and scatter darkness. Speak them out at night, in the morning, before you travel, before you sleep. Speak them when you feel surrounded. Speak them when you feel uneasy. Speak them daily.
Each one is drawn from Scripture, and each one invites the hand of God to guard, cover, and deliver. Say them with faith. Declare them like a soldier on duty. And believe: no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
1. Covered By the Blood
The blood of Jesus is not just for forgiveness—it is a weapon of safety against death and destruction.
“And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you…”
— Exodus 12:13
Lord Jesus, I plead Your blood over my life, my family, my home, my journey, my destiny. Let no evil cross the line where Your blood is applied. I cover my doorposts, my hands, my plans, and my dreams. Let every spirit of death, affliction, and accident pass over me. As I walk, cover me. As I sleep, surround me. As I move, shield me. Let the power of Your sacrifice speak over my life. Let no harm touch me, and no sorrow locate me. In Your blood, I am secure.
2. Divine Escape from Traps
Some dangers are set like traps—unseen, silent, strategic. But God gives escape to those who trust in Him.
“Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.”
— Psalm 124:7
Father, break every snare set for my downfall. Let every pit dug for me swallow its digger. I will not walk into evil unaware. Open my eyes, sharpen my spirit. Deliver me from setups, traps, and silent plots. Where evil waits, let me be redirected. Where harm hides, let it be exposed. I declare escape over my life—over my children, my spouse, my loved ones. No trap will hold me. I walk in divine wisdom, surrounded by divine presence.
3. Safe in Every Journey
Whether by road, air, or foot—our journeys are not safe without the hand of God going ahead of us.
“The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth…”
— Psalm 121:8
Lord of my path, go before me. Every time I leave my house, let heaven go ahead of me. Keep me from reckless drivers, mechanical failure, sudden sickness, or strange attacks. No accident, no delay, no ambush. As I return, bring me back in peace. As my loved ones go out, return them unharmed. Let angels ride with us, fly with us, and walk beside us. Our steps are ordered, and our paths are sealed.
4. Shield from Jealous Eyes
Envy opens doors to spiritual arrows. When favor increases, so does the number of silent watchers. But God is able to blind their plans.
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies…”
— Psalm 23:5
Father, I thank You for lifting me. But I ask, protect me from the eyes that cannot rejoice with me. Let those who secretly wish me evil be exposed or removed. Every jealous glance turned to curse—turn it back to the sender. I shall not fall because of someone else’s bitterness. Shield my progress, my testimony, and my blessings. Hide me in Your pavilion and let no evil observer prosper.
5. Safety in the Night
Night is when evil often multiplies. But the Lord gives His beloved sleep and surrounds them with peace.
“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night…”
— Psalm 91:5
Tonight, I lay down in peace because You are near. I cancel every night assault, every evil visitation, every spiritual arrow sent in the dark. Let fire surround my home. Let angels be stationed at my gate. Let my sleep be sweet, my dreams be clean, and my rest be full. No evil shall disturb me. No power shall touch me. I sleep in safety and rise in power.
6. Guarded From Unexpected Evil
Sometimes harm comes without warning. But the One who knows tomorrow keeps His own from surprise sorrow.
“He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.”
— Psalm 91:3
Lord, I may not know what lies ahead, but I trust You who sees all. Deliver me from the things I do not see—the calls I shouldn’t take, the places I shouldn’t go, the people I shouldn’t trust. Let every sudden evil be intercepted. Block the enemy’s surprise attacks. What the devil meant for evil—turn it around before it arrives. Let Your mercy go ahead and Your glory be my rear guard.
7. Protection from Betrayal
Not all who smile mean well. Even Jesus was betrayed by one close. We need divine protection from false hearts.
“Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted… has lifted up his heel against me.”
— Psalm 41:9
Father, reveal every Judas hiding near me. Those who carry a knife behind their back while offering hugs—expose them. I break every hidden plot of betrayal and sabotage. Let my spirit be sharp and my steps be guided. Protect my emotions from traps. Keep me far from users and destroyers. Surround me with those who truly carry light and loyalty. Let the enemy not succeed from within.
8. Protected From Evil Counsel
Not all advice is good advice. Evil counsel can lead to destruction. We must pray for discernment to reject wrong voices.
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly…”
— Psalm 1:1
Father, tonight I silence every voice that speaks to mislead me. I reject ungodly advice dressed as wisdom. Keep me from wrong circles, misleading mentors, and destructive alliances. Let me not make decisions that lead to sorrow. Guide me with Your Spirit. Speak louder than every voice around me. I will not be manipulated or confused. I choose Your counsel, Your direction, and Your peace.

9. Preservation from Generational Battles
Some dangers run through bloodlines—what defeated fathers shows up in the lives of sons. But God can break inherited cycles.
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die… the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…”
— Ezekiel 18:20
O God of mercy, I stand tonight to disconnect myself from every inherited struggle. Whatever pursued my parents shall not find me. Whatever pattern of failure, shame, or loss that runs through my lineage—I cancel it. I refuse to suffer for what I did not cause. Let the blood of Jesus rewrite my family story. May the battles that defeated those before me, lose their power tonight. Let a new beginning start with me.
10. Hidden In God
Safety is not just physical—true protection comes when your life is hidden in the will and presence of God.
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
— Colossians 3:3
Hide me, Lord, in the secret place of Your presence. Let me be invisible to the eyes of the wicked. Let no arrow locate me, no curse land, and no evil plan succeed. Surround me with Your glory like a shield. Let me dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, where no harm can find me. As long as I walk in You, I walk in peace.
11. Safety for Loved Ones
The ones we love also need spiritual cover. A parent’s prayer can cover generations.
“And the Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.”
— Psalm 121:7
Lord, tonight I place my loved ones in Your hands. My spouse, my children, my family, my friends—keep them all. Let Your hand rest over them wherever they go. Let no harm visit their dwelling, no sickness take root, no evil word prosper. Guard them from physical danger, emotional attacks, and spiritual manipulation. Keep them day and night. They shall be preserved by Your grace.
12. Deliverance From Witchcraft Operations
Dark powers operate in secret. But no enchantment against God’s people shall stand.
“Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel…”
— Numbers 23:23
I break every spell, every charm, every word spoken in darkness against my name. I nullify every evil gathering where my name is mentioned. Let fire scatter their altars. Let confusion enter their camp. I reverse every curse and turn it into a blessing. From this night forward, no witchcraft will succeed over me. My life is sealed, my spirit is free, and my future is untouched.
13. Safe from Sickness and Disease
Illness is often a silent attack—spiritual before it becomes physical. But God has promised healing and health.
“I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.”
— Exodus 23:25
Lord, I speak life into my body. Let no disease—known or unknown—survive in me. I reject inherited sickness, sudden affliction, and silent infections. Heal me where I hurt. Shield me where I’m weak. Let my blood, bones, organs, and mind be strengthened. I shall not be cut down by disease. I shall live strong, healthy, and whole.
14. Defense Against Public Disgrace
Some evil plans are designed to embarrass openly. But the Lord protects His own from shame.
“They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.”
— Psalm 34:5
Lord, keep me from situations that bring shame. Let no evil plan succeed in exposing me to mockery. I will not be humiliated. I will not be disgraced. Guard my name, my integrity, and my reputation. Where enemies wait for my downfall, disappoint them. Cover me with honor. Let my life bring glory to You and not shame to Your name.
15. Guarded from Sudden Death
Sudden death is a spiritual agenda designed to cut short potential. But God has promised long life.
“With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
— Psalm 91:16
I cancel every appointment with death. I shall not die but live to fulfill my purpose. Every trap, every accident, every sickness designed to end me early—I return it to the sender. I hide myself in Christ. Death shall not know my address. The number of my days I shall fulfill. Let the spirit of death pass over my household. Let life reign.
16. Shielded from Evil Accusations
False accusations can destroy reputations and destinies. Only God can protect from lies and clear your name.
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn…”
— Isaiah 54:17
Father, tonight I silence every lying tongue rising against me. Whether in the workplace, in family, or in secret meetings—let false accusations be exposed and disgraced. Let truth speak louder than lies. I shall not be a victim of slander or evil assumptions. Protect my name, defend my honor, and let those who dig pits for me fall into them. Let righteousness be my shield, and justice be my defense.
17. Protection From Mental Attacks
The enemy often targets the mind with anxiety, confusion, or torment. But God gives peace that surpasses all understanding.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee…”
— Isaiah 26:3
Lord, I lift my mind to You. Protect my thoughts from torment, fear, depression, and confusion. Let no evil arrow touch my peace. Every mental oppression—be broken. I speak clarity over my thoughts, rest over my sleep, and strength over my emotions. My mind belongs to God. Let the light of truth scatter every darkness trying to invade my mind. Peace, be still. My mind is covered.
18. Safety from Robbery and Theft
The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy—but the Lord watches over the possessions of the righteous.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life…”
— John 10:10
O Lord, protect all that belongs to me. Let no thief or evil eye touch what You’ve given me. My house, my car, my business, my finances—they are covered. I declare that every plan of robbery is cancelled. Let angels be stationed at the corners of my dwelling. Let supernatural protection surround my territory. I will not suffer loss. I will not be a victim. Let the enemy fail before they even begin.
19. Protection of Children and the Next Generation
Children are prime targets for the enemy. But parents can place a covering of fire through prayer.
“And thy seed shall be blessed.”
— Isaiah 44:3
Lord, I lift up my children and every young soul connected to me. Cover them in school, at home, in friendships, in their thoughts, and in their future. I cancel peer pressure, confusion, abuse, and misdirection. Let them walk in light from their youth. Surround them with truth, purity, and purpose. Let no evil agenda shape their destiny. I dedicate them afresh to You—they shall serve You and be preserved all their days.
20. Divine Help in Danger
Sometimes danger arises suddenly. But when you call upon the name of the Lord, He answers speedily.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1
Lord, I may not always be strong, but You are always near. In times of trouble, let help arise. Let me not panic but remember Your name. Raise help from unexpected places. Deliver me swiftly and securely. I reject every spirit of helplessness. With You, I am never alone. If trouble comes knocking, let mercy answer. I am never abandoned.
21. Protection from Demonic Surveillance
Evil spirits monitor destinies to report back for attacks. But the Lord can blind their eyes.
“They shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall…”
— Isaiah 54:15
Father, let every monitoring spirit assigned to watch me be struck with blindness. Every evil eye tracking my progress, every demonic camera recording my steps—be destroyed by fire. I cut off spiritual informants. My life is hidden in Christ. Let no familiar spirit follow me. I disconnect from every satanic network and surveillance. My secrets, my steps, and my sleep are sealed under divine protection.
22. Secure From Evil Dreams
Some dreams are spiritual attacks—doors to oppression and delay. They must be confronted.
“While men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat…”
— Matthew 13:25
Lord, tonight I take authority over my dream life. I cancel every evil dream sent to torment, deceive, or defile me. I refuse to be manipulated in the night. Let Your fire cleanse my subconscious. Let Your angels guard my sleep. No snake, no masquerade, no evil animal, no dark stranger shall visit me. I shall not wake up afraid. My dreams shall be holy, restful, and filled with revelation.
23. Deliverance from Invisible Chains
Some people are not physically bound, but spiritually chained—unable to rise or move forward.
“Loose him, and let him go.”
— John 11:44
Lord, every invisible chain holding my life down—break it now. Chains of delay, fear, limitation, and stagnation—be destroyed. I refuse to be bound by things I cannot see. Let every unseen burden fall off. I step into freedom tonight. No more hindrance. No more frustration. I walk with liberty, by the Spirit of the Lord.
24. Angelic Protection Day and Night
God dispatches angels to protect those who fear Him. They are invisible soldiers on guard.
“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”
— Psalm 91:11
Father, let Your angels be assigned to me. Let them go before me, walk beside me, and stand behind me. Let them guard me from traps and accidents. Let them lift me when I stumble. I welcome angelic presence in my home, workplace, and journey. Where my strength ends, let theirs begin. Thank You for divine security on every side.
25. Secured Destiny
The enemy’s greatest attack is against your future. But with God, your purpose cannot be hijacked.
“The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me…”
— Psalm 138:8
Lord, I surrender my destiny into Your hands. Let no man, no demon, no mistake, and no delay steal what You’ve written about me. I secure my purpose in prayer. Let the book of my life remain sealed until fulfilled. Let every enemy of destiny be scattered. No detour. No defeat. My life will end in fulfillment. I cover every year ahead of me with divine security.
26. Safety from Environmental Wickedness
Every location carries spiritual battles. But God rules over territories and places.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof…”
— Psalm 24:1
Lord, wherever I live, let Your glory dominate. I cancel every territorial power seeking to frustrate me. Whether in my neighborhood, office, street, or city—let wickedness be silenced. My home shall not be haunted. My walls shall not hear curses. Let the very ground I walk on favor me. I shall not be a victim of strange forces in strange places.
27. Preservation in Times of Crisis
During war, famine, chaos, or national unrest—God can preserve His people untouched.
“A thousand shall fall at thy side… but it shall not come nigh thee.”
— Psalm 91:7
God of peace, when the world shakes, hold me steady. Let no plague, no disaster, no economic crash pull me under. In every crisis, preserve me. Provide for me. Shelter me. While others run in fear, let me stand in faith. Let the mark of preservation be upon me and mine. I dwell in Your secret place, safe and secure.
28. Covered from Spiritual Mistakes
Not every mistake is physical—some are spiritual, and they can have serious consequences.
“Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.”
— Psalm 119:133
Father, keep me from stepping into error. Let me not miss divine timing. Protect me from wrong prayers, wrong places, and wrong people. Don’t let me choose what You didn’t assign. Keep me aligned with Your will. Let mercy speak when I don’t know what to do. I choose obedience over opinion. Protect me from myself.
29. Protection in Decision-Making
One wrong decision can open the door to years of pain. Divine guidance is protection.
“Trust in the Lord… and he shall direct thy paths.”
— Proverbs 3:5–6
Lord, I commit every decision into Your hands—small and great. Let me not lean on my feelings. Guide me by peace, by confirmation, by wisdom. Let no pressure push me into regret. Speak clearly. Show me what to do, where to go, what to avoid. Let every choice I make be a step toward destiny. I will not be misled.
30. Rest in God’s Peace
True safety is not only physical—it is the peace that passes all understanding.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you…”
— John 14:27
Prince of Peace, wrap my heart tonight. Let me not fear tomorrow. Let every racing thought be calmed. I receive Your peace like a blanket. Let it cover my home, my plans, my steps. I will not be anxious. I will not be restless. I am surrounded, not by fear—but by You. Thank You for peace beyond reason, beyond storm, beyond doubt. Amen.
