1. A Prayer for God's Hand of Protection on Family and Loved Ones...
​
​
Father in Heaven,
I give all thanks and praise to You as our Sovereign Lord God. As a mother and a wife, I put all my hope in You. There is no other place I would rather be then in the palm of Your hand and under the shadow of Your wings. You are my refuge and my God and my strong tower of safety. Therefore I run to You in this time of need. May myself and my loved ones be counted among those who believe on You and among those who put their complete trust in You. I proclaim You the Master of our lives. Therefore I commit our lives to You and willingly place my family under Your care. Your word says that no harm will overtake us and no illness will come near our home if we take refuge in You.
Even so Lord, we have seen our loved ones overtaken by illnesses, but we know You are good, and we have complete trust that you make no mistakes. I am devoted to You and I know You are faithful. Your word says that You will deliver us and protect us; When we call out to You, You will hear us and answer us in our time of trouble. What other God is like You? You promise to satisfy those who put their trust in You with long life and You will let us see Your salvation. I place my family into your hands this day, I commit my loved ones to You and trust that Your purposes would be fulfilled in each of their lives.
​
In Your precious name,
​
Amen

2. A Protective Prayer for the Lord's Presence in the Midst of Difficulty...
​
​
Father in Heaven,
​
Thank you Father, that I can come to You in my time of need! Thank You for hearing me from Your holy hill and turning your ear towards me! You are a merciful, loving God and there is no one else like You. All of my hope and trust is in You -- because You have proven Yourself faithful to me repeatedly.
​
Father, I pray for Your protection on my children today as they go about their busy lives, each of them going their different way. There is a certain assurance I have in knowing You are always watching over them, and for that I'm thankful. Your word tells me that You are there when I rise in the morning and when I lay on my bed in the evening. Your presence is always with me. There is no where I can go to escape Your presence. May this be so for my children as well.
​
I pray now that You would continue to look upon us and shelter us from harm, hedging us about with Your strong wings of love and providing protection in way of health and safe keeping.
​
As we drive, may You go before and behind us. As we walk and work among the community, be mindful of us and have your hand upon us. When we come together and rest in our homes, may You be there in our midst. Always there Father.
​
May You be blessed to observe us walking and talking uprightly before You, carefully considering our behavior.
​
Thank You for Your love towards us and may You always rejoice over us with singing.
​
Cover us with Your protection today and always we pray,
​
In Your Precious Name,
​
Amen

Build us up in faith. May we guard our hearts and our minds against fear and completely trust You for our well being.
