In this post today, we will look at 15 of the best Bible verses that we can use to protect our homes from evil. We will also share some stories and examples of how these verses have inspired us and others to live in victory over the enemy.
Let’s begin with a prayer:
Lord, we thank You for Your Word, which is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. We ask You to bless our homes and our families with Your presence and Your protection. We declare that our homes belong to You, and that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We ask You to fill our homes with Your love, Your peace, Your joy, and Your grace.

Here are the 15 verses that you can use to protect your home from evil
1. Psalm 91:1-2
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”
This verse reminds us that God is our ultimate protector and defender. He is our refuge and our fortress, where we can find safety and rest. He is our God, in whom we trust. Nothing can harm us when we dwell in His presence.
One story that illustrates this verse is the story of Corrie ten Boom, a Christian woman who hid Jews from the Nazis during World War II. She and her family lived in a house with a secret room behind a false wall, where they sheltered many Jewish people from the Nazi raids. They also had a Bible and a radio hidden in the secret room, which they used to listen to God’s word and to pray. Corrie ten Boom later wrote: “In that ancient building, always dark and damp, there was one bright spot. It was the little closet where we held our worship services. There, with a small Bible hidden among the clothes, we felt safe under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Corrie ten Boom and her family trusted God as their refuge and their fortress, even when they faced danger and persecution. They dwelled in the secret place of the Most High, and He protected them from evil. Unfortunately, they were eventually betrayed and arrested by the Nazis, but even then, God did not abandon them. He gave them strength and courage to endure their trials, and He used them to share His love and grace with others. Corrie ten Boom survived the concentration camp and became a famous speaker and author, telling her story of God’s faithfulness and power.
This story shows us how Psalm 91:1-2 can inspire us to trust God in any situation and to seek His presence as our ultimate protection.
2. Joshua 24:15
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
This verse challenges us to make a choice: whom will we serve? Will we serve the gods of this world, or the God who created us and loves us? Will we follow the ways of the world, or the ways of the Lord? Joshua made his choice clear: he and his household would serve the Lord.
One example of how this verse has inspired someone is [Eric Liddell], who was an Olympic champion and a missionary to China. He said that this verse was his motto for life, and that he wanted to honor God with everything he did. He refused to run on Sunday, because it was his day of worship. He also gave up his athletic career to serve God in China, where he died in a prison camp during World War II.
3. Proverbs 3:33
The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
This verse contrasts the fate of the wicked and the righteous. The wicked will face God’s curse on their house, which means they will experience trouble, sorrow, and destruction. But the righteous will receive God’s blessing on their home, which means they will enjoy prosperity, happiness, and protection.
George Müller, who was a Christian evangelist and orphanage founder in England. said that this verse was one of his favorite promises from God, and that he saw it fulfilled in his life many times. He trusted God to provide for his needs and for thousands of orphans under his care. He never asked anyone for money or help; he only prayed to God. And God always answered his prayers miraculously.
4. Psalm 127:1
Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
This verse teaches us that we need God’s help and guidance in everything we do. We cannot build our homes or our lives by our own strength or wisdom. We need God to be the foundation and the builder of our house. We also need God to be the watchman and the protector of our city. Without Him, we are wasting our time and effort.
An example of this verse is [Nehemiah], who was a Jewish leader who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem after the exile. He faced many oppositions and threats from his enemies, who tried to stop his work. But he trusted God to help him and protect him. He prayed to God and said, “The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it.” (Nehemiah 2:20)
5. Psalm 27:1
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
This verse is a declaration of confidence in God’s light and salvation for those who trust in Him. It means that God is our source of illumination and deliverance; He dispels any darkness or danger that may threaten us or our homes. He is also our stronghold or fortress; He provides us with security and stability.
One example of this verse in action is the story of Moses. When he was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, he faced many challenges and enemies along the way. But God was his light and his salvation; He guided him with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. He also protected him from Pharaoh’s army by parting the Red Sea and drowning them. (Exodus 13:17-22; 14:1-31)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a declaration of your confidence. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You are my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? You are the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? I declare that You illuminate my path and deliver me from any trouble. You provide me with security and stability. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
6. Isaiah 54:17
says: “No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,’ says the Lord.” This verse declares that God will protect us from any harm or accusation that comes our way, and that He will vindicate us as His children.
One story that illustrates this verse is the story of Daniel, a prophet who served in the Babylonian empire. Daniel was faithful to God and prayed to Him three times a day, even though it was forbidden by the king’s decree. Some of the king’s officials were jealous of Daniel and plotted to destroy him. They convinced the king to sign a law that anyone who prayed to any god or man other than the king for thirty days would be thrown into the lion’s den. They knew that Daniel would not obey this law, and they hoped to get rid of him.
When Daniel learned about the law, he did not stop praying to God. He went to his room, opened his window toward Jerusalem, and prayed as usual. The officials saw him praying and reported him to the king. The king was very upset, because he liked Daniel and did not want to harm him. But he could not change the law, so he ordered Daniel to be thrown into the lion’s den. He said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” (Daniel 6:16)
The king spent a sleepless night, worrying about Daniel. He got up at dawn and hurried to the lion’s den. He called out to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” (Daniel 6:20)
To his great joy, he heard Daniel’s voice saying, “O king, live forever! My God sent his angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king.” (Daniel 6:21-22)
The king was overjoyed and ordered Daniel to be lifted out of the den. He saw that Daniel was unharmed by the lions. He then commanded that those who had accused Daniel be thrown into the den along with their families. The lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones before they reached the floor of the den.
The king then issued a decree that everyone in his kingdom should fear and reverence the God of Daniel, for he is the living God and he endures forever; he rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in heaven and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions. (Daniel 6:26-27)
This story shows us how Isaiah 54:17 can apply to our lives. No weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment we shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Him.
7. Proverbs 18:10
says: “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
This verse reminds us that God’s name is powerful and mighty, and that we can call on Him in times of trouble and find refuge.
A perfect story that illustrates this verse is the story of David and Goliath, found in [1 Samuel chapter 17]. David was a young shepherd boy who volunteered to fight against Goliath, a giant Philistine warrior who defied the armies of Israel. Goliath was armed with a spear, a sword, and a javelin, and wore a heavy armor. David had only a sling and five smooth stones, and wore no armor. But David trusted in God’s name and power, and said to Goliath: “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1 Samuel 17:45)
David ran toward Goliath and slung one stone at him, hitting him in the forehead. Goliath fell to the ground, and David cut off his head with his own sword. The Philistines fled in terror, and the Israelites pursued them and won a great victory. David’s faith in God’s name enabled him to overcome a seemingly impossible challenge, and to bring glory to God.
This story shows us how Proverbs 18:10 can apply to our lives. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. We can rely on God’s name and power when we face difficulties or enemies, and He will deliver us and honor us.
8. Psalm 34:7
“The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.”
This verse reminds us that God sends His angels to surround and protect those who reverence Him, and to rescue them from danger
One story that illustrates this verse is the story of Elisha and his servant, found in 2 Kings chapter 6. Elisha was a prophet who revealed the plans of the king of Aram to the king of Israel, and thus frustrated the enemy’s attacks. The king of Aram was angry and sent a large army to capture Elisha in the city of Dothan. Elisha’s servant woke up early in the morning and saw that the city was surrounded by horses and chariots. He was terrified and said to Elisha, “Oh, my lord, what shall we do?” (2 Kings 6:15)
Elisha answered, “Don’t be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” (2 Kings 6:16) Then he prayed to God, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.” (2 Kings 6:17) The LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. These were the angels of the LORD, who encamped around Elisha and his servant, and delivered them from the enemy.
This story shows us how Psalm 34:7 can apply to our lives. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them. We may not see them with our physical eyes, but we can trust that God’s angels are always with us, protecting us and helping us in times of trouble.
9. Ephesians 6:10-11
Ephesians 6:10-11 is a Bible verse that says: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
This verse encourages believers to be strong in the Lord and to put on the armor of God in order to resist the devil’s schemes.
To illustrates more on this verse, we look at the story of Martin Luther, a Christian reformer who challenged the corruption and errors of the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. Luther was persecuted and condemned by the church authorities, who tried to silence him and stop his teachings. Luther faced many dangers and temptations from the devil, who wanted to destroy his faith and his mission. But Luther trusted in God’s strength and power, and put on the armor of God, which he described as follows:
“I know not how Satan hurls his darts at others; but at me he throws them with all his might, both on the right hand and on the left. If I look for comfort in the Gospel, there he is also, lying in wait for me, striving to tear Christ out of my heart. If I look into the law, thinking to work or fight my way through by self-mortification, there I find him also, who so magnifies my sins that they seem too great for pardon. He assails me thus because he sees that I have no other defense but faith alone. Therefore he attacks me more than others who have a great display of works. And so I go about with a sad and heavy heart, and cannot feel secure. This is what it means to endure trials and temptations of Satan. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.”
Luther used the word of God as his sword, his faith as his shield, his righteousness as his breastplate, his hope as his helmet, and his prayer as his weapon. He also relied on God’s grace as his salvation, and God’s peace as his comfort. He was able to stand firm against the devil’s schemes, and to proclaim the gospel boldly. He also wrote many hymns, books, and letters that inspired millions of people to follow Christ.
This story shows us how Ephesians 6:10-11 can apply to our lives. We can be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. We can put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
10. Psalm 46:1
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
The verse is part of a song written by the Sons of Korah and is directed to the director of music. The verse means that God is always there to help us in times of trouble and that we can rely on Him as our refuge and strength.
One story we can use as example of this verse is the story of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, who faced a threat from the Assyrian army. The Assyrians had conquered many nations and were now besieging Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. They sent a message to Hezekiah, mocking his faith in God and demanding his surrender. They said, “Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by promising that Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” (2 Kings 19:10)
Hezekiah was afraid and distressed, but he did not give up his trust in God. He went to the temple and prayed to God, saying, “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Give ear, O LORD, and hear; open your eyes, O LORD, and see; listen to the words Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God.” (2 Kings 19:15-16)
God heard Hezekiah’s prayer and sent him a word through the prophet Isaiah. He said, “Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Behold, I will put a spirit in him, so that he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.” (2 Kings 19:6-7)
That night, the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp. When the survivors woke up in the morning, they saw all the dead bodies. So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and returned to his own land. He was later killed by his own sons while he was worshiping in the temple of his god. (2 Kings 19:35-37)
This story shows us how Psalm 46:1 can apply to our lives. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. He can deliver us from any enemy or danger that comes against us, if we trust in Him and call on His name.
You can also listen to this song based on this verse. I hope this helps you understand this verse better.
11. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
2 Thessalonians 3:3 is a verse from the New Testament of the Bible, written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Thessalonica. The verse reads:
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
This verse can be used for home protection by trusting in God’s faithfulness and power to guard you from any harm that may come your way.
This verse expresses Paul’s confidence in God’s faithfulness and power to help the believers in Thessalonica, who were facing persecution and opposition from some wicked people. Paul assures them that God will establish them in their faith and keep them from falling into the temptation or deception of the evil one, who is Satan.
John was a young Christian who lived in a hostile environment. His family and friends did not share his faith and often mocked him for following Jesus. They tried to persuade him to abandon his beliefs and join them in their worldly pleasures. John felt lonely and discouraged, but he remembered the words of Paul in 2 Thessalonians 3:3. He prayed to God for strength and protection, and trusted that God was faithful and would not let him down.
One day, John was invited by his classmates to a party at a nearby club. They told him that it would be fun and harmless, and that he should not be so uptight about his religion. John felt tempted to go, but he sensed that something was wrong. He declined the invitation and stayed at home. That night, he heard on the news that there was a shooting at the club, and several people were killed or injured. John was shocked and saddened by the tragedy, but he also felt grateful that God had spared him from being there. He realized that God had answered his prayer and protected him from the evil one, who wanted to destroy him. He thanked God for his faithfulness and praised him for his goodness.
12. Psalm 91:9-10
“Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—the Most High, who is my refuge—no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.”
This verse is a promise of God’s protection for those who trust in Him and make Him their refuge. It means that no matter what happens in the world, no matter how dark or dangerous it may seem, God will keep you and your home safe from harm. He will not allow any evil or disease to touch you or your family.
One example of this verse in action is the story of the Israelites in Egypt. When God sent the tenth plague, which was the death of the firstborn, He instructed His people to put the blood of a lamb on their doorposts. This was a sign of their faith in God and His salvation. When the angel of death saw the blood, he passed over their houses and did not kill their firstborn sons. (Exodus 12:1-13)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also anoint your doors and windows with oil as a symbol of God’s presence and protection. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You are my dwelling place and my refuge. I declare that no evil shall befall me or my household, no plague come near our tent. I plead the blood of Jesus over our home and I ask You to send Your angels to watch over us. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
13. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15
“if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.”
This verse is a call for repentance and revival for God’s people. It means that if we humble ourselves before God, pray to Him, seek His face, and turn away from our sins, He will hear us, forgive us, and heal our land. He will also pay attention to our prayers that we make in His name.
The story of King Solomon is a good example of this verse . When he dedicated the temple to God, he prayed a prayer of blessing over Israel. He asked God to hear their prayers when they faced troubles such as drought, famine, pestilence, war, or sin. He also asked God to forgive them and restore them when they repented. God answered his prayer and said that He would do as Solomon asked. (2 Chronicles 6:12-42; 7:11-22)
You can apply this verse to your home by humbling yourself before God, praying for His mercy and grace, seeking His face in worship and devotion, and turning away from any sin or idolatry in your life. You can also pray for your nation and its leaders, asking God to heal your land from any evil or corruption. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I humble myself before You and I acknowledge that You are the sovereign Lord of all. I pray that You would forgive me and my household for any sin or rebellion against You. I seek Your face with all my heart and I desire to know You more. I turn away from any wicked or worldly ways that may have crept into our lives. I ask You to heal our land from any evil or injustice that may be affecting us. I pray that Your eyes would be open and Your ears attentive to our prayers that we make in this place. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
14. 2 Timothy 1:7
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
This verse is a reminder of what God has given us as His children. It means that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control. It also means that we can overcome any fear or anxiety that may try to paralyze us or hinder us from doing God’s will.
One example of this verse in action is the story of Paul. When he was facing persecution and imprisonment for preaching the gospel, he did not let fear stop him from fulfilling his calling. He also encouraged his young disciple Timothy to be bold and faithful in his ministry. (2 Timothy 1:1-18)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a reminder of what God has given you. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You have not given me or my household a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and love and self-control. I declare that we are free from any fear or anxiety that may try to torment us or hinder us from doing Your will. We are filled with Your power, love, and self-control. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
15. 1 John 4:4
“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
This verse is a reminder of who we are and who is with us as God’s children. It means that we are from God and have overcome the evil spirits that are in the world, because God’s Spirit who lives in us is greater than the devil who is in the world. It also means that we have the victory over any evil that may try to oppose us or deceive us.
An example of this verse is the story of John. When he was exiled on the island of Patmos, he received a revelation from God about the things that were happening and would happen in the world. He saw many visions of the devil and his agents who were trying to destroy God’s people and His kingdom. But he also saw the Lamb of God who had overcome them by His blood and His word. (Revelation 1:9-20; 12:1-17; 17:1-18)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a reminder of who you are and who is with you. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that I and my household are from You and have overcome them, for You who are in us are greater than he who is in the world. I declare that we have the victory over any evil that may try to oppose us or deceive us. We are more than conquerors through You who love us. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
16. James 4:7
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
This verse is a command for us to submit to God and resist the devil. It means that we need to surrender our lives to God’s will and authority, and obey His commands and instructions. It also means that we need to oppose the devil and his temptations, lies, and accusations, by using God’s word and power.
We see the story of Joseph as an One example of this verse in action. When he was serving in Potiphar’s house, he faced a temptation from Potiphar’s wife, who wanted to sleep with him. But he submitted to God and resisted her, saying that he would not sin against God or his master. He fled from her and did not give in to her. (Genesis 39:1-12)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a command for you and your family. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You are my Lord and my Master. I submit myself and my household to You. I resist the devil, and he will flee from us. I declare that we will not sin against You or anyone else. We will flee from any temptation or evil that may come our way. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
17. Luke 10:19
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”
This verse is a promise of God’s authority and power for those who follow Him. It means that God has given us the authority to tread on or trample over any evil creatures or forces that may try to harm us or our homes. He has also given us the power over all the power of the enemy, which means that we can overcome any obstacle or opposition that he may put in our way.
The story of the seventy-two disciples is a great example for this verse. When Jesus sent them out to preach the gospel and heal the sick, he gave them this authority and power. They returned with joy, saying that even the demons were subject to them in his name. (Luke 10:1-20)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a promise of your authority and power. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You have given me and my household authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt us. I declare that we trample over any evil creatures or forces that may try to harm us or our home. We overcome any obstacle or opposition that the enemy may put in our way. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
18. Psalm 34:8
“The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.”
This verse is a promise of God’s angelic protection for those who fear Him. It means that God sends His angels to surround us and our homes with their presence and power. They protect us from any danger or evil that may come against us. They also deliver us from any trouble or distress that we may face.
One example of this verse in action is the story of Elisha. When he was surrounded by the Syrian army, who wanted to capture him, he was not afraid, because he knew that God was with him. He prayed for his servant’s eyes to be opened, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. These were God’s angels who were protecting him from his enemies. (2 Kings 6:8-23)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a promise of your angelic protection. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You send Your angels to encamp around me and my household, because we fear You. I declare that Your angels protect us from any danger or evil that may come against us. They also deliver us from any trouble or distress that we may face. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
19. Colossians 3:15
“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.”
This verse is a command for us to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts. It means that we need to allow the peace of Christ, which is the peace that He gives us through His death and resurrection, to govern our emotions and decisions. It also means that we need to be thankful for His peace and His grace, which unites us as one body in Him.
One good example to explain this verse is the story of the early church. When they were facing persecution and hardship for their faith, they did not lose their peace or their joy. They let the peace of Christ rule in their hearts, and they were thankful for His presence and His power. They also shared their peace and their love with one another and with others. (Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-37)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a command for you and your family. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You give me and my household the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding. I declare that we let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, to which indeed we were called in one body. We are thankful for Your peace and Your grace, which unites us as one in You. We also share Your peace and Your love with one another and with others. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
20. Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
This verse is a command for us to not be anxious about anything, but to pray about everything. It means that we need to cast all our cares and worries on God, and trust Him to take care of them. It also means that we need to pray with thanksgiving, acknowledging God’s goodness and faithfulness in our lives.
we conclude with the story of Paul and Silas. When they were imprisoned for preaching the gospel, they did not complain or despair. They prayed and sang praises to God, with thanksgiving for His salvation and His sovereignty. God heard their prayers and sent an earthquake that opened the prison doors and freed them. (Acts 16:16-34)
You can apply this verse to your home by declaring it out loud and by faith. You can also write it on a piece of paper and stick it on your door or wall as a command for you and your family. You can say something like this:
“Lord, I thank You that You care for me and my household. I declare that we do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving we let our requests be made known to You. And we thank You that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Conclussion
These are two of the best Bible verses that you can use to protect your home from evil. I hope that they have inspired you and encouraged you to trust in God’s promises and power. Remember that He is with you always and He will never leave you nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5)
I challenge you to memorize these verses and to pray them over your home regularly. You can also share them with your family and friends and invite them to join you in praying for God’s protection and blessing over your homes.
May the Lord keep you and your home safe and free from evil. God bless you!
