I was just browsing online one day and came across Prayer to protect my child from evil. I thought, Wow what a great prayer. So I typed in the words and printed it out. Then I put it up in my daughter’s room at night while she slept. O Lord, I come before your presence and beg to you for protection for my child from evil. Protect him from demons and also protect him from all the negative energies that could hang around his life. Grant him joy in everything he does. Help him achieve his goals. Amen. Dear Father in Heaven, I come before you today to ask for your guidance and protection for my child. Pray for my child’s safety. Guide him in the decisions he makes and protect him from all evil in this world. Help me to teach him how to be a godly man and how to love you with all his heart, mind, soul, and strength. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen Oh, Child of mine I’ve given you my prayers as you go about your day. And so I now come to you and ask a favor: Blessed are the children of men, but most especially those who are loved—in body, mind, and spirit–by God. Protect my child from evil and wickedness.

Why We Need Prayer for Protection?
A short prayer for protection can be used in many circumstances for protection against evil, harm, enemies, travel mercies, natural disasters, health and medical situations, childbirths, and spiritual warfare just to name a few. They can also take the form of physical protection as well as emotional and spiritual.
At the start, I mentioned that a prayer of protection is often overlooked by Christians, especially by newborn Christians who are just beginning to explore their faith. So if this describes you, let me first share how much God loves you and wants a very close relationship with you.
A prayer of protection can be used for yourself or others
Obviously being the God that stitched you together in your Mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). He knows you far better than anyone, but He wants more than just physical knowledge of your existence. He wants you to freely share all of your life with Him, He wants you to ask him for your heart’s desires, to share your needs and concerns with Him, to rely on and trust in Him for all things. “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
A short prayer of protection can be used for yourself or others, often people pray for family and friends when they travel long distances, have medical conditions, are involved in an accident, natural disaster, or other tragedy. You can (and should) even pray for your country, its military, and its leaders for protection.
Always remember, use a short prayer for protection at any time, and if you feel an instinct or small voice inside telling you to pray… then stop what you are doing and pray. The Holy Spirit of God exists within you to guide you and help in times of trouble. Listen to the spirit and pray. Never stop praying.
