Closing Declaration of Protection

I declare over my life and the lives of those I love:

We are covered by the blood of Jesus. We are surrounded by the angels of God. We walk in divine protection and supernatural favor. No weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment shall be condemned.

We trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. In all our ways we acknowledge Him, and He directs our paths. We dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

The Lord is our refuge and our fortress, our God in whom we trust. He delivers us from every trap and protects us from every danger. We will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day.

Because we have made the Lord our dwelling place, no harm will overtake us, no disaster will come near our tent. For He will command His angels concerning us to guard us in all our ways.

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” – Psalm 91:1
