When we believe in Jesus, it’s very important to have God’s protection. When we follow Jesus, He helps keep us safe from bad things we can’t see. This piece will talk about eight strong prayers. Each prayer comes from the Bible. These prayers help keep us safe in our hearts and souls. We will learn how to say these prayers every day. Doing this will help us feel very safe with God’s love.
Understanding Our Spiritual Foundation
The Authority of Christ Above All
The Bible shows that Jesus Christ is above all other powers. Ephesians 1:21-22 (NLT) says:
“Now He is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made Him head over all things for the benefit of the church.”
Prayer
Jesus, we know You are in control of everything. We feel safe with You, because You protect us. Help us always remember this and trust You. We want to follow You in everything we do.
The Power of Christ’s Sacrifice
When Jesus died and came back to life, He beat the power of the devil. It says this in Hebrews 2:14 (NLT).
“Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.”
Prayer
Dear Jesus, we come to You because we have worries and are sometimes scared. Your big act of love has saved us from bad things. Help us to be brave, knowing that You have won against all the bad things.
Victory Through the Cross
Colossians 2:14-15 (NLT) says:
“He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by His victory over them on the cross.”
Prayer
Jesus, we are always thankful for what You did for us. Because You beat the bad guys, we are safe with You.
Daily Practices for Spiritual Protection
Humility and Resistance
James 4:7-8 (NLT) teaches:

Prayer
Dear God, we come before You. We call Your name, Jesus, to keep us safe from bad things. Bring us close to You. Keep us under Your protection.
Divine Shelter and Protection
Psalm 91:9-11 (NLT) says:
“If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go.”
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You keep us safe. We feel safe with You and know You protect us from bad things. Your angels help watch over us always.

2 Corinthians 2:11 (NLT) guides us:

Welcome to a special place where we think about God as the day ends. We believe every evening is a chance to think about our day and be thankful. Our goal is to give you a calm place to feel close to God.
At Sacred Evenings, we are a group of people who love to share the beauty of quiet moments with God. We have stories, devotional, short prayers, and thoughts that help you think about God. We want you to feel the magic of every evening.
Our journey is based on the Bible verse, “Be still, and know that I am God…” (Psalm 46:10). We invite you to stop, breathe, and find God as the day ends. When the sun goes down and it gets quiet, we believe these evenings are a gift. They remind us of God’s love and invite us to be closer to Him.
Join us on this journey of faith and thinking deeply. Whether you need help, comfort, or a quiet moment, you are welcome here. Let’s enjoy these special evenings together, as we get closer to God and each other.
