Many young children, especially those aged three to five years, can hardly sleep without the lights on or the company of their older sibling or parent.
When it comes to adults, we might not need to use a nightlight to sleep, but we might feel some confrontations with the devil that we must handle spiritually.
The power of darkness refers to the works of the devil and his agents to destroy God’s children and make them his own. Without much knowledge of the Scripture and prayers, the powers of darkness can quickly take over one’s faith in God.
Therefore, this piece will take you through seven strong prayers alongside some Scriptures to tackle the powers of darkness.
Before you start, save these prayers for someone stop bothering you.

“Precious God,
Thank You for today’s gift, believing that it will bring us Your blessings from above. I pray that You may send the blood of Your son, Jesus, to shield me from demoniac attacks.
Help me to stay alert and watch out for the enemy who is always prowling around like a roaring lion, searching for souls to devour.
In Your name, I pray. Amen.”

Being born again in Jesus Christ puts believers on the frontline of the devil’s plans.
Therefore, you shouldn’t worry when you experience demonic attacks after you’ve accepted Jesus and chosen to serve only Him in your life.
Demonic forces are one of the devil’s plans to pull back and win new souls into his kingdom. The good thing is that you can always fight back, not physically but through the word of God and a faithful prayer of protection.
In 1 Kings 18, Elijah was challenged by the prophets of Baal after failing to bring down fire upon their sacrifice. Instead of giving in to their devilish plans, Elijah prayed to God, and fire descended from heaven, consuming the gift.
This is a great illustration of God’s power against demonic forces.
