Battles being fought in the spirit realm are currently being felt in this physical world. The unseen kingdom of darkness is warring against God’s Kingdom of Light. God has already gone before us and won every battle! We win in the end, but pandemics, violent weather, and unrelenting fear keeps us unsure at times of the victory at hand. It is crucial for us to be built up in our faith, so when worldly events come our way, we are steadfast and immovable in God’s promises of protection. This prayer from Psalm 91 will remind us of God’s faithfulness in troubled times!
Father, I thank You that I live in the secret place of the Most High. I am abiding right now under the shadow of the Almighty. You are my refuge. You are my fortress. You are my God, and I trust You completely.
No snare of the enemy can trap me. No deadly pestilence can touch me. I am covered with Your feathers, and under Your wings I am safe. Your Word is my shield, my buckler, my unshakable defense. Fear has no place in me. I will not fear the terror by night. I will not fear the arrow by day. I will not fear sickness in the darkness or destruction at noonday.
A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand—it will not touch me. No evil can befall me. No plague can come near my dwelling. Your angels are on assignment right now; they keep me in all my ways. They lift me up in their hands so that I do not even strike my foot against a stone. I trample every work of the enemy under my feet.
The lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent—I tread on them in Jesus’ name. I have set my love on You, and You deliver me. You set me on high because I know Your Name. When I call, You answer. You are with me in trouble. You deliver me. You honor me. With long life You satisfy me and show me Your salvation.
This is not a wish. This is my present-tense reality because Your Word says so, and Your Word cannot fail. I declare I am untouchable to the enemy. I live wrapped in divine protection, surrounded by covenant promises, and filled with Your peace. This is mine now!
In the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen!
