December Prayer Challenge: Protection





As the year draws to a close, it's a powerful time to reflect on God's unwavering protection in our lives and seek His covering as we step into a new season. This prayer challenge is for those who desire to experience God's divine shield over their families, homes, and daily lives. In the spiritual realm, many battles are fought before they manifest in the physical. Negative words spoken against us—such as "They’ll never succeed," or "They’ll never find joy or peace"—can act as seeds of destruction if not countered with prayer and faith. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 59:1, "Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me." As we enter this festive season, let us not forget the realities of our world. We face challenges like accidents, natural disasters, illnesses, violence, financial losses, and malicious attacks. But through prayer, we can invoke God’s protection and guidance. Testimonies abound of people who were spared from harm—whether surviving accidents or escaping danger—because they committed their day to God in prayer.

Prayer is not just a request for protection but also a declaration of trust in God’s sovereignty. It brings hope, comfort, peace, and assurance. When we pray, we align ourselves with His will, knowing He fights our battles. As Jeremiah 29:12 says, "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Remember, divine protection is God’s gift to His children. He shields us from unseen dangers, silences our enemies, and fills our lives with His peace. After praying, take time to reflect on how God is working for you. Trust that He has already won the battle, and no one can stand against Him. This December, as we celebrate the gift of Christ, let’s commit to daily prayer for protection and victory over every challenge. Divine protection comes from God alone. He has the power to fight your battles and give you victory. He can remove fear, protect you from your enemies, and speak peace into your life. After you’ve completed these prayer points, pause and reflect on your situation. Be confident that God is working on your behalf. Remember, He will fight for you!

I trust God to keep me safe

and he makes me safe.

So I am not afraid of anyone!

The Lord takes care of my life.

Nobody can make me afraid!

Evil men are ready to attack me.

But when my enemies attack me,

they trip and fall to the ground!

3 Even if a whole army comes to fight against me,

I will not be afraid.

Even if they attack me in war,

I will continue to trust God.

4 There is one thing that I have asked the Lord to do for me.

This is the one thing that I really want:

I want to live in the Lord's house

all the days of my life.

Then I will clearly see the Lord's beauty.

I will pray to him in his temple.

5 When danger is near,

the Lord will keep me safe.

He will take care of me in his home.

He will put me in a safe place,

on the top of a high rock.

but I will win against them.

7 Lord, hear me when I call to you for help.

Be kind to me and answer me.

8 I have heard you say to me, ‘Come near to me.’

So I will come and pray to you, Lord.

9 Please do not turn away from me.

I am your servant,

so do not be angry with me.

You have always helped me in the past,

so do not push me away now.

You are the one who saves me, God,

so do not turn away from me.

10 Even if my father and my mother leave me,

the Lord will still take care of me.

11 Lord, please teach me to follow your way.

Lead me along a good, safe path,

because my enemies are waiting to attack me.

12 Do not give me to my enemies.

They say false things against me,

so that they can destroy me.

13 But I surely believe

that I will see how good the Lord is!

I will know his love while I still live in this world.

14 Wait for the Lord to help you!

Be strong and brave.

Yes, wait for the Lord to help you!

Scriptures

PLEASE READ OUT LOUD

Psalm 35


1 Lord, please attack those people who are attacking me.Fight against those people who are fighting against me.

2 Yes, pick up your shield and put on your armour! Prepare to fight and give me help!

3 Take your spears and throw them,to stop the people who are chasing me.Say to me, ‘I will make you safe.’

4 Cause the people who want to kill me to become ashamed. Chase away the people who want to hurt me,so that they become confused.

5 Make them become like chaff that the wind blows away. Send the angel of the Lord to chase them away.

6 Make their way dark and dangerous, as the angel of the Lord chases after them.

7 They hid a trap to catch me.There was no reason for them to do that.

They even dug a deep hole for me to fall into.

8 Surprise my enemies and destroy them!Let their own traps catch them!Let them fall to their own death!

9 Then I will be happy because of what the Lord has done.I will be happy because he has made me safe.

10 I will shout with all my strength,

‘Lord, who is like you?

When strong people try to hurt weak people,you are the one who keeps the weak people safe. You also keep poor people safe when robbers try to take things from them.’

11 Cruel people tell lies against me in court.I do not even know what they are talking about.

12 When I do good things to help them,they pay me back with evil things!That makes me feel very sad and upset.

13 When they were ill,I wore rough clothes,and I stopped eating food.

I bent down my head as I prayed for them.

14 I wept as I prayed,as I would weep when a friend or my mother had died.

15 But when I had troubles myself,they were happy.They stood together and they laughed at me.Even strangers attacked me and they would not stop.

16 Useless people like that insulted me,

and they showed their teeth to frighten me.

17 My Lord, how long will you continue to watch as they do this to me?

Keep me safe when they attack me.

They attack me like hungry lions. Do not let them kill me!

18 Then I will praise you in the great meeting of your people.I will thank you so that everyone hears me.

19 My enemies tell lies about me.

Do not let them win against me, and be happy. They have no reason to hate me, so do not let them laugh at me.

20 They do not talk in a way that brings peace. Instead, they try to deceive people who want to live quietly.

21 They open their mouths wide to speak against me. They say, ‘Aha! We have seen the bad things that you do!’

22 Lord, you have seen all this. Do not remain silent, my Lord. Do not stay far away from me.

23 Wake up! Get ready to give me justice! Show that I am not guilty, my Lord and my God.

24 Lord, you are righteous . Give me justice, my God. Do not let them laugh at me.

25 Do not let them say, ’Aha! This is what we wanted.’Do not let them say, ‘We have eaten him alive!’

26 Punish those people who are happy when I have troubles. Make them ashamed and confused! Bring down those proud people who laugh at me. Make them feel very ashamed.

27 But for those who want justice for me, let them shout aloud in their pleasure. May they always say, ‘The Lord is great! He is happy when his servant is safe and well!’

28 Then I will tell everyone that you are righteous. I will praise you all through each day.






Prayer

Any power that has concluded to waste me tonight shall be wasted by fire. Blood of Jesus defend Your interest in my life, in the name of Jesus. Every power assigned to oppress me in my sleep tonight, I bind You by the fire of the Holy Spirit. I declare and decree that the enemy can't proclaim victory over me. So therefore, I command all their powers, schemes, plots, plans and devices to be paralyzed by fire, in the mighty name of Jesus. Let Your presence go with me anywhere and everywhere I go and let Your power bring me back home safely. All every evil arrow that flieth by day and the noisome pestilence will not get hold of me, in the name of Jesus. O Lord, I need Your protection from evil attacks, surround me with Your wall of protection, in the name of Jesus. Any area of my life that is attracting the spirit of darkness be closed by the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. Holy Ghost fire destroys all evil hands assigned to manipulate me, in Jesus' name.

A Prayer for Protection Against Evil

Lord Jesus, evil is such a harsh word, and yet Your Word uses it frequently to describe the opposite of good. While we are all capable of sin, I ask Your protection against those who call good evil, and evil good. Guard us against those who scheme against righteousness and from those who twist truth into lies to accomplish their evil intents. May Your angels hover ever near to eradicate fear and fight against dark, spiritual forces we cannot see. Help us cast down every imagination and thought that our enemy tries to use to exalt itself against You. You dealt our spiritual enemy a fateful blow on Calvary when you died on the cross for us and were resurrected on the third day. While evil still roams, the power of Your name and Your blood rises to defeat and bring us victory against every evil planned against us. While malicious actions may disturb us, we use the armor of God You have given us to stand firm. You will bring justice in due time for all the harm and needless violence aimed at Your children. Until then, we remain in Your presence, aligned with Your purposes, and we look to You as our Supreme Commander and Protector. Help us to avoid temptation, and deliver us from evil, Lord. You are the Mighty One, the One Who will ultimately bring all evil to light. With You, Jesus, we are safe. Amen.


A Prayer for Protection for our loved ones

Lord God, I pray for Your physical and spiritual protection over my family and loved ones. Anywhere our influence, our priorities, and our character are tested daily cover us and help us to remember that every foolish action reaps consequences, and every careless word carries weight among our peers and whoever we come across. Others are watching, Lord, so set a watch before our mouths and guard the door of our lips. Protect us from those who try to sway our convictions or tempt us to compromise our standards, morals, and faith in the name of success. Place an invisible banner over us that reminds us of Your protective love and that we belong to You. Help us to do the work that is important to You, and turn us away from slothfulness or misplaced priorities. When others aim criticism our way or when a misunderstanding arises, guard us from impatience or anger. Protect us from our sinful nature and help us to always take the high road of love in dealing with dissatisfied peers. Thank You for Your promise never to leave us or abandon us, and that Your Spirit lives inside of us to give wisdom, understanding, and security against those who want to pull us away or harm us. You are Lord, and as our Father, we look to You to preserve all benefits involved in that relationship. In Jesus’  mighty and powerful name, we pray. Amen.


I cover this prayer challenge with the blood of Jesus.
