Heavenly Father, I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, and I ask for Your protection over my life, my home, my family, and all that You have entrusted to me. I acknowledge that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. I cannot fight this battle in my own strength. But I do not need to — because the battle belongs to You. I put on the full armor of God: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. I stand firm in the authority that Christ has given me. I resist the enemy and every scheme he has devised against me. I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I cover myself and those I love with the blood of Jesus. Let Your angels encamp around us. Let Your presence be our shield and our fortress. I trust in You, Lord — my rock, my refuge, and my deliverer.
