Hedge of Protection Prayer

Have you heard of someone pray a hedge of protection prayer over their loved ones, possessions, property or against spiritual forces of evil and wondered what it means? Well, I imagine a picture of a hedge, I think of a well-manicured maze, it might prevent squirrels or other wild animals from entering my property but not hold up against spiritual attacks or physical intruders.

On the other hand, the Bible’s hedge of protection is actually an impenetrable force like a hedge of thorns lined with long stakes, razor sharp thorns and heavy spears. Barnes’ commentary likens a hedge to be like pricks that are designed to poke out your enemies eyes or barbed wire.

So actually, the hedge of protection prayer is praying a divine protection around your life. Any person or evil spirits who cross your protective hedge are bound to get hurt!

Hedge of Protection

Now this is interesting, the devil is the one who describes and defines what is a hedge of protection in the book of Job 1:10,

“Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.”

 So according to devil, the Lord placed a divine hedge of protection around the servant Job and everything he had, including the fruit of his hands. It’s obvious God’s hedge of protection kept the devil out! Even though the devil took almost everything Job had and his children, yet Job went on to live a long life and God gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Wall of Protection

Noah and his family found a place of safety within the sturdy walls of the ark, Moses saw God’s wall of protection manifest as towering walls of water on either side, and Daniel experienced divine protection as the hushed roars of silenced lions, we too can find solace in the many forms of God’s unyielding wall of protection.

Sometimes God will use anything to like stone walls to keep you safe and under the shelter of the Most High. Can you think of some unusual shield of the protection the Lord made to keep you safe?
