Father God,
We come to You today asking for protection over our family. Lord, we trust in You and know that You are our protector and our stronghold.
We ask that You would surround our family with Your divine protection, keeping us safe from all harm and danger. Lord, we pray that You would give us the strength and courage to stand firm in our faith, even in the midst of trials and tribulations.
We pray that You would cover us with Your wings of love, Lord, and that You would be our shield and our defense. We pray that You would keep us safe from the attacks of the enemy, and that You would give us the wisdom and discernment to recognize his schemes and tactics.
We pray that You would guide our steps and lead us in the path of righteousness, Lord. We pray that You would bless our family with Your presence and that You would pour out Your grace and mercy upon us.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
