A Prayer For Protection

Inspired by Alive To God
www.alivetogod.com


This past month we have been inundated with prayer requests from people facing varied and many challenges. We have been praying and trusting for breakthrough for many, many people.

Upon thinking about the challenges and issues that people are facing at this time, we felt we needed to put something in your hands to enable you to pray effectively for your situation and your family.

My late father was great friends with Pastor Derek Prince. I can still remember Derek Prince coming to our church and the warm personal family contact we had with him. There was a time, during which Derek and his wife were living in the Middle East. They felt like they were facing tremendous attack in their own lives and they developed a prayer that he, together with his wife Ruth, would pray on a daily basis for their protection.

It is such a powerful prayer and we believe it can be a tool in your hands to be able to effectively pray in your situation. It is a Bibically based prayer from the heart of a man who loved and served God with all his heart.

We have attached this Daily Prayer For Protection and we would encourage you to print it out and start praying it over your family and your situation.

We know that we can call out to God and ask for His intervention, but perhaps we are not always sure how to go about it.

This makes it simple and we believe God will intervene and undertake for you.

Psalm 50:15 'Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you!'





Daily Prayer of Protection by Derek & Ruth Prince

Father God, I come to you in the Name of Jesus, declaring that no weapon that is formed against us shall

prosper and every tongue which rises against us in judgement we do condemn. This is our heritage as
servants of the Lord and our righteousness is from You, O Lord of Hosts (Isaiah 54:17). If there are those who


have been speaking or praying against us or who have rejected us, even cursed us, we forgive them and,
having forgiven them, we bless them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:43, Romans 12:14).


Now we declare, O Lord, that You and You alone are our God, and besides You there is no other God. You

are a just God and Saviour: You are Creator, Redeemer, Faithful, Loving God. You are Father, Jesus the Son

and Holy Spirit – and we worship You!

Your Word says: “Submit yourself to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” So we submit

ourselves afresh to You in unreserved obedience. Having submitted to You, Lord, we do as Your Word

directs. We resist the devil: all his pressures, his attacks, his deceptions, every instrument or agent he would

seek to use against us. We do not submit! We resist him, drive him from us and exclude him from us in the

Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Specifically we reject and repel:
Every form of witchcraft. Every influence of the occult.

Every spirit of infirmity: infections, malignancies, viruses, pain, inflammation, and allergies.

Every spirit of depression and heaviness; confusion and deception.

Every spirit of accusation and condemnation.


Thank You, Father, that You confuse the plans the enemy has against us.

Finally, Lord, we thank You that through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we have passed out from under
the curse and entered into the blessing of Abraham, whom You blessed in all things
(Galatians 3:13-14, Genesis 24:1).


Thank You for Your favour, Your presence, Your provision, Your protection. Thank You for good health,victory, exaltation, productiveness, and prosperity.

Amen
