Prayer Library · Protection
Whether a loved one is travelling, serving far away or facing danger, these prayers for protection can help you put your worries into words, and then send those words to Jerusalem.
Many people choose the Western Wall or the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for these prayers.
Lord, be a shield around my family. Guard our home by day and by night. Keep us safe on the roads, at work and at school. Protect us from sickness, accidents and every kind of harm, and let us always find our way back to each other. Amen.
Father, [name] is setting out on a journey. Go before them and behind them. Keep them safe in every car, plane and street. Give them good rest and kind people along the way, and bring them home safely. Amen.
God of strength, I lift up [name], who puts themselves in danger to protect others. Cover them with Your protection. Give them courage, clear judgment and companions they can trust. Comfort their family while they are away, and bring them home safe. Amen.
Lord, You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Cover me with Your feathers and let me find refuge under Your wings. I will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. Command Your angels to guard me in all my ways. Amen.
