These powerful prayers to destroy your enemies ask the Lord to intervene with those who seek to harm you.
Even a righteous person may need to turn to the Lord when it comes to asking for assistance to deliver them from those who seek to hurt them.
Though it may not be thought of as a typical Christian practice, there are tons of examples of this throughout Christianity’s history. In the Old Testament, it was quite a common practice.

📖 Psalm 143:12

Praying for Protection Against Those Seeking to Hurt You
Heavenly Father, Today we come to you humbly, our hearts laid out before you. There are those that would seek to harm and destroy us, your faithful followers, and children. As we progress in our dealings with our enemies, we ask that you, in all your love and light, grant us protection against those who seek to hurt us by their actions. Cast back upon them any evils they would do unto us, and keep us in your heart as you always will be held in ours. Let them not deter us at all from the righteous path set forth for us by you, the Creator, in your infinite wisdom. Guide us and protect us always as you shield us from those seeking harm. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
📖 Psalm 59:1-2
"Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from those who are after my blood."
Praying for Vengence
Lord Father, Hear our prayer. We have come to you, the Holy Trinity, to seek out the most basic requests. As those who are against us continue to attack, let us have the strength to withstand it. Let us have the mental fortitude and emotional stability only those who have learned at your feet may have as we battle against the evil of the world and continue to rebuff Satan and his agents. We know that vengeance is not a step to enter into lightly, God, so we ask for your assistance in this matter. Your teachings have shown us that there are times when vengeance is the only way, and sadly Lord, this is one of those times. We ask you to show us the best way to seek vengeance, to show those against us that yours is the way of the light, and attacking those who exalt in you will bring them nothing but trouble and pain. We pray for vengeance against our enemies as those we learned in the Old Testament, in your image and likeness only Lord. Today we pray to the vengeful and absolute God who smites those who harm others in the name of Satan. Please, Lord, see those who have risen up and harmed us unmasked and as they indeed are. Send back upon them every wrong and injustice they have loosed upon us, your faithful servants. As we lay ourselves bare unto you, see us for what we are – always yours. Thank you, God, and praise your name. Amen.
📖 Psalm 18:37-38
"I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet."
Praying for Protection Against Enemies Weapons
God, as I continue on my path towards righteousness, I understand there will be others in my course who stand to divert me off of my way. Please turn any weapons my enemies attempt to wield against me back upon them. Let me know that there is no weapon forged in the name of the evil that can withstand your grace and might. As anyone attempts to harm me with wickedness in their heart, allow them to know their weapon can only disintegrate when up against one of your children. Hear our prayer, oh Lord, and receive it with the open heart that only you can have. Amen.
📖 2 Chronicles 20:15
"He said: 'Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.'"
Praying for Protection Against Enemy Plans
Oh Lord, my God, please protect my family and me against any plans drawn up by enemies that have evil schemes against us. Anyone who may want to draw up an intent to harm us can have no success as their goals are genuinely those of Lucifer. Let anything that Lucifer and his agents plan for me go back against them by seven. As they come on me, let my enemies retreat even faster and more definitively. Thank you for hearing my prayer Lord. In Your name, always. Amen.
📖 Psalm 27:2-3
"When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident."
Praying for Saint Michael’s Protection In Battle
God Almighty, Please send down the Angel of Protection, Saint Michael, to watch over me as I prepare to battle against my enemies. I will need the divine protection of you and your most righteous protectors to stand fast in my fight against evil and all snares of the Devil. Saint Michael, as you watch over me in battle, please do not protect those who battle against me. They are not on the side of the light and good as we are and only fight to protect those who wish harm to anyone who seeks to grow our community in God. Thank you for your steadfastness in battle and your wisdom in ways to withstand any attack on me and my brothers and sisters in Christ. As it was in the beginning, let it be now and always – with the Mightiest lifted to the light and joy at the side of our father. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
📖 Romans 12:19
"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord."

Oh Lord in Heaven, I pray that as those shower anger and wrath against us, you repay them in kind. Allow whatever evil wishes they offer to others to come back upon them always. In Your Name. Amen.
📖 Psalm 91:3-4
"Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."
