In a world full of uncertainties and disappointments, it’s only natural to feel scared or anxious at times. But the Bible reminds us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
We are also encouraged to cast all our fears and burdens onto God. If there’s anything troubling you, anything that causes fear, worry, or unease, take it to the Lord in prayer. Lay it all at His feet. Our God is faithful. He hears our prayers and lovingly watches over each of us.
One of the most common concerns we carry is the safety and protection of ourselves and our loved ones. But the Bible assures us in Psalm 127 that “unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” God is our protector, in Him, we find true safety and comfort.
So, don’t be consumed by worry. Instead, lift your concerns to God. Say these prayers for protection, and trust that He will guard your home, your family, your friends, and you. May the Lord be with you always.

Thank you for these powerful prayer points.
I love prayers which keep me growing in God’s word.
Are there any prayers for husbands to love and cherish their wives as the Bible says? And to protect their wives from others and family members who want to harm her or destroy their marriage? Prayers for discernment for the husband to put his wife first after they are married, to leave his parent, and his control. Need help finding prayers, not good at praying, lol.
The article is really thorough without being too wordy, which is a great quality in my opinion.
