Why Daily Protection Prayer Matters
Protection prayer is not about living in fear; it’s about living in faith. The Bible repeatedly reminds us that God is our shield:
“The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.” — Psalm 121:7
I learned this truth in a hard way. A few years ago, I faced multiple crises simultaneously — financial stress, a strained marriage, and health scares. I felt utterly vulnerable. But each morning, I stayed committed to prayer for God’s protection, guidance, and provision even when I doubted if He heard me. Slowly, doors opened, I recovered back my lost kids, peace returned, and obstacles began to vanish.
Prayer became my daily armor, shielding me from fear, worry, and spiritual attacks.
