Evil spirits and demons exist in our world. They are set on destroying anyone who is willing to serve God the Father with all their hearts, minds, souls, and spirits.
The main character, the devil, is set to seek and destroy. As it says in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” He has many compatriots who have been appointed to do his bidding.
Peter tells us to be vigilant, and by that, he means that we should pray and seek God’s face.
Because evil is rampant, especially now, praying against these evil forces is important. They have been unleashed on this earth, and we need to ask God for ultimate protection.

Miracles happen when we pray. It happens even when we pray for protection against the evil one. God is faithful, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 1:9, “God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”

I pray tonight in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, that You will reach down and protect me and my loved ones against the evil darkness of this night.
We, Your children, beseech You to grant us protection against any evil spirits, satan and enemies. Cover us with mercy, grace and the power of Your divine presence.

When it comes to the evil one, God does not leave us stranded. He will employ and implore his angels to protect us. The demons can only slow us down, but they will not be victorious over us.
As it says in 1 John 5:4, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
We can stand firm in our belief that Jesus Christ has given us victory over satan and his minions.
7) Prayer To Say Before Bed For Protection
“Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
As I prepare to go to sleep, allow Your divine Angels to come and protect me and my family.
As I lie and slumber, speak to my heart as the Angels guard over me, allowing Your divine beauty to surround and cover me.
Allow the wings of the angels to gently cover me as You, my Savior, stand watching over everyone in my home, as You are the only one we allow to enter this house.
Amen.”

What better way to speak to God than through prayer, especially at bedtime? This is a time of inner reflection and a time to invite God into your night. Ask Him for His divine intervention as you sleep.
Ask Him for a peaceful rest and a blessed sleep. We can do so because God is present. Speak Psalm 4:8 after praying:,
“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.”
Before you leave, try these prayers to bind every evil spirit in you life.
Should I Say The Prayers Before Falling Asleep?
Always pray to the Lord, regardless of what your needs are. Praying at night, before bed, ensures that you make God your priority even while you are asleep.
Know that when we ask God to stand guard over us, he will do so, even if we are not aware.
Can I Pray More Than One Prayer?
When you have a relationship with God the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ, prayer is a way of life. Therefore, it does not matter how many prayers you say. Pray to the Lord as many times as you need to, both when things go well and bad.
Prayers against the evil spirits and their attacks make it even more compelling to pray as often as you can. Pray many times a day, especially at night, for their attacks can be viscous.
Final Thoughts
The main issue with prayer against evil spirits and demonic powers is that we have to realize that Ephesians 6:12 is a fact.
It says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
When we realize that these things are real and that we cannot fight them on our own, we will definitely pray more and more often.
Evil has been unleashed on the earth, and we are living in times when believers need to pray against it more fervently.
