A prayer of protection over my husband

When he walks out the door, you can send a prayer with him. Here is one, with the verses behind it.

A prayer of protection

Lord, my husband is going out today. Go with him. Keep him safe on the road and at work. Protect his body, his mind and his heart. Keep him from evil and from the snares that would pull him away from You and from us. Bring him home safe. In Jesus' name, amen.

Verses of protection

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Psalm 91:11, King James Version

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Psalm 121:8, King James Version

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

2 Thessalonians 3:3, King James Version

Questions women ask

What is the best Bible verse for my husband's protection?

Psalm 121:8 is a good one to pray as he leaves: The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Can I pray for his protection from temptation too?

Yes. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 asks God to keep us from evil. Pray for his heart and his choices, not only his body.
