Short prayers for protection from all the evil happening around us are one of the most important and overlooked prayers among many Christians.
The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 in the New Testament that the devil our adversary is like the roaring lion seeking who he may devour and we can only protect ourselves from our arch enemy, Satan through prayer.
Every day, the devil and his evil spirits or human companions secretly plot and plan to destroy our lives and we can only protect ourselves from them by praying a prayer of protection that protects us from these enemies.
When we pray Isaiah 59:19 in the Old Testament tells us that God’s Holy Spirit raises the standard when the enemy comes to us like a flood.

What Is The Prayer For Protection?
The prayer for protection is a personal prayer, not a group prayer that one prays to be protected from all evil from the enemy, which can be in the form of road accidents, bad luck, witchcraft, etc.
It’s also a private prayer that you pray when you’re alone, or when you’re going to be alone if you are asking for God’s protection from the evil one who seeks to destroy our lives via his wicked schemes.

Why We Need Prayer For Protection?
The prayer for protection is a very important part of our Christian faith. It is one of the most spoken prayers in the world today. The Bible teaches us to pray for our own protection so that the enemy doesn’t harm us.
One of the reasons why we need the prayer for protection is because it helps us to be aware of our surroundings and to be alert to things that could be dangerous or harmful.
When you are praying, your mind is relaxed, so you can think clearly and make decisions quickly without being distracted by other thoughts. This allows you to react more quickly when danger arises.
In short, we need prayer of protection so that we are protected from the evil one who seeks to destroy our lives through various means.
What Is Psalms 109 Used For?
Psalms 109 is a psalm of thanksgiving and supplication composed by David who was king of Israel and is addressed to God, who had delivered him from his enemies.
The psalm consists of two parts that are: an expression of gratitude to God for sparing him and delivering him from his enemies and a prayer for the prosperity of those he loved and for the welfare of his people.
Psalms 109 is mainly used when praying for God to deliver you from the hands and mouth of the wicked who seek to run your life as was the case for David.
It’s also used to give thanks to the Lord when He delivers you from your enemies as we see David do when he was delivered from his enemies who wanted him dead who were against him.
