We all know the plan of the devil.
To steal, kill, and to destroy.
He moves all through the earth searching for an opportunity to strike.
He is unhappy when we are happy and wishes to cause us pain.
In a similar way, he wants to cause disunity, anxiety, and problems in the family.
That’s why we must pray and search through the scriptures for bible verses for protecting the family.
God is all-powerful and can defend our household.
Besides physical security, there is nothing else we can do.
We cannot protect each and every one of our families at every time of the day.
The truth is, we are limited in our capabilities to protect even ourselves, let alone others in our family.
Therefore, we must seek God’s help for protection.
And that’s because God knows everything.
The scripture says,
we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything
1 John 3:20
The story of Job is one that teaches the importance of God’s protection.
Job has lived all through his life as a faithful servant of God.
And, for years, the devil has tried to strike Job.
But God has put Angels to Guide job and his household.
In a conversation with God, the devil said,
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:10-11
The devil is powerless with God on our side.
And that’s why, despite the devil’s wish to hurt Job, He couldn’t, because God has placed a hedge around him.
If you are struggling with any issue in your home, I have put together bible verses for the protection of family to inspire.

God’s protection over your family — Here’s what you must know
1. Even as a sinner, God still protects you
We are all sinners
And even if you’re are born again, you’ve most likely sinned in one way or the other
But, it is unimaginable that God still protects us even as disobedient children
That’s who he is — A father that loves us immensely
He always thinks towards the future, and his thoughts are way superior to ours
In all, he has protected our family because of the love he has for us
The scripture says,
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
2. God does not forsake the righteous
If you want God’s love and protection, you must always come closer to him
He is willing to protect you each time you seek him
Your husband, wife, children, and your relatives need his protection
You cannot do anything without him
There are lots of reasons to need God’s protection in your home
And he is ready to protect and provide for you if you serve him
It all starts with acknowledging your sins and repenting afterward
And then, you fervently serve and obey his commands
If you do this, God is happy protecting your family from the wicked evil hands of the devil
The scriptures say,
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
Exodus 23:25-26
