In a world with so much evil and darkness, it’s important to seek protection for ourselves, our loved ones, and our homes. While there are many earthly measures and weapons that we can use for protection, the greatest protector of all is God.
Throughout the Psalms, King David called upon God to protect him from his enemies and to deliver him from evil. In Psalm 17:8-9, for example, he prayed, “Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings from the wicked who are out to destroy me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.”
Much like David, we should also turn to God in prayer and ask Him for protection if we want to win in the fight against evil.
Now, let’s explore 52 powerful Bible verses about asking God to protect our homes from evil. May God’s love be our armor in the spiritual fight against evil and darkness.
