Evil can come in many forms — fear, temptation, envy, spiritual attacks, or negative influences that seek to drain your peace and joy. In moments when darkness feels near, prayer becomes our greatest weapon. Through faith-filled words, we can call upon God’s power for protection, deliverance, and victory over evil.
The Bible reminds us in Ephesians 6:12:
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
