Praying for protection for you and your family is important especially in the world we live in. Prayer that is based on scripture is a powerful weapon for the believer. God said in Jeremiah 1:12, Amplified, “…I am alert and active, watching over my word to perform it.” Now that we are in Christ Jesus, our lives were redeemed from destruction. However, we must know it, believe it, and say it daily. Psalm 107:2, KJV, says, “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.”
What is redemption: It is “the purchase of God’s favor by the death and sufferings of Christ; the ransom or deliverance of sinners from the bondage of sin and the penalties of God’s violated law by the atonement of Christ,” Webster’s First Edition of An American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828.
In Mark 11: 24, KJV, Jesus said, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

The Benefits that belong to the believer
PSALM 103:1-5, KJV
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
I. How to Pray Psalm 91 for Protection
Psalm 91, KJV
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

How to pray Psalm 91, KJV
I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and I abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
The Lord is my refuge and my fortress in Him do I trust. He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler and the noisome pestilence.
He covers me with His feathers and under His wings do I trust: His truth is my shield and buckler.
I am not afraid of the terror by night; nor the arrow that flieth by day. Note: In today’s culture, the arrow could be guns, etc.
I am not afraid of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction during the day because God redeemed my life from destruction.
The Most High God, The Almighty God, is my refuge and my habitation. Therefore no evil shall befall me neither shall any plague come near me.
Lord, I thank you that you give angels charge to watch over me every day and everywhere I go.
I thank you that you shall deliver me from any trouble when I call upon you because I trust you with my life.
I thank you that because of your love and mercy, I shall live a long, blessed, peaceful, healthy, and satisfying life.
I also apply the Blood of Jesus, the Messiah, from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet because Revelation 12:11 says, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. My testimony is that Jeus redeemed my life from destruction. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
II. Apply the Blood of Jesus
In Colossians 1:13-14, Paul the Apostle is reminding us, believers, to give thanks to the Father because he delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.
In whom we have redemption through His Blood and the forgiveness of sins. Also, Revelation 12:11 says we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Our testimony is that God redeemed our lives from destruction. The devil does not have power over us.
Pray this prayer for yourself and for your family daily, at least two times per day. Say their names specifically when you pray for them. If you have children, teach them to pray this prayer for themselves and they won’t live in fear at school, at the mall, even at home.
