We understand your concern about snakes, as they can be dangerous and even symbolize evil in Scripture. However, we must approach this request with wisdom and biblical discernment. In Genesis 1:25, God created all creatures, including snakes, and called them "good." While snakes can be harmful, they also serve a purpose in God’s creation, maintaining balance in ecosystems. Even in Genesis 3, though the serpent was used by Satan to deceive Eve, God did not destroy all snakes—He instead cursed the serpent as part of His judgment.
Rather than praying for the destruction of all snakes, let us pray for protection from harm, wisdom in dealing with dangerous creatures, and for God’s will to be done in all creation. We should also remember that our true enemy is not physical snakes but the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Let us pray for God’s protection and authority over all creation, trusting in His perfect plan.
**"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."** (1 Peter 5:8, WEB)
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging Your sovereignty over all creation. You made all things, and they are good in Your sight. Lord, we ask for Your protection from harm, whether from dangerous creatures or the schemes of the enemy. Give us wisdom to live safely and to trust in Your provision. We rebuke the spiritual forces of evil that seek to harm Your people, knowing that You have already given us authority over the enemy through Christ (Luke 10:19). May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Strengthen our faith, and help us to walk in Your peace, knowing that nothing can separate us from Your love. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
If you are facing fear or danger from snakes or any other threat, we encourage you to seek God’s peace and protection while also taking practical steps to stay safe. Trust in Him, for He is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).
