15 POWERFUL PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION FROM ENEMIES

 

In this world, you will have enemies. Jesus said the world will hate those who believe in him (John 17:14), but we can say prayers for protection from enemies.

In addition to this, we have an enemy prowling around looking for who to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Because of our enemies, we constantly need God’s protection.

Gloria Copeland says, “It’s important to recognize God as your source and your number one means of protection. See Him as your guardian or covering.”

God knows how to keep us from the evil one and his agents in the world.

According to Rebecca Barlow Jordan, God has ordained prayer as the vital force we can use to guard ourselves against evil.

This means that it is futile to use other methods of protection like charms or rituals to keep our enemies away.
