The world as we know it today has become a nightmare.
On daily basis, we hear about the wickedness and evil that has become prevalent in our world.
Kidnapping, robbery, shooting, wars amongst others have become the order of the day.
Life has become so scary that we no longer feel safe.
Let’s not also forget the emergence of strange sicknesses that have challenged science and the wisdom of doctors.
Amidst all these threats to our existence, we’re left with the instinctive need to self-preserve and protect.
However, the truth is that we can’t do it on our own. That’s why I have written these prayers for protection and healing for you.
Below are Prayers for Protection and Healing.

Conclusion
God is always watching over us. But most times we don’t know this because we are very conscious of the things going on around us.
If we must feel the presence of God and the safety He brings, then we must connect with Him. There’s no better way to do this than through prayers.
So let these prayers for protection and healing turn your focus to God rather than on your troubles.
