We hear your deep concern and fear regarding snakes, and we understand that these creatures can evoke strong emotions. While we share your desire for safety and protection, we must also consider God’s creation and His purposes. The Bible tells us that all creatures, including snakes, were made by God and have their place in His design. In Genesis 1:31, it says, "God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Even the serpent in the Garden of Eden was part of God’s plan, though it was later used for deception by Satan.

However, we can certainly pray for protection from harm and for wisdom in dealing with any dangers that snakes may pose. We can also pray against the spiritual symbolism of the serpent, which represents evil, deception, and the work of the enemy. In Luke 10:19, Jesus gives us authority over the enemy, saying, "Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you."

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your creation and for the wisdom and protection You provide. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over us and our loved ones from any harm that snakes or any other creature may bring. Grant us wisdom and discernment to navigate the world safely and to trust in Your care.

Father, we rebuke the spiritual forces of evil that seek to deceive and harm us, just as the serpent deceived Eve in the Garden. We declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, we shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We stand firm in the authority given to us by Jesus Christ, and we command every spirit of fear, deception, and harm to flee in His name.

Lord, we pray for those who are afraid, that You would calm their hearts and fill them with Your peace. Help us to trust in You completely, knowing that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask for Your guidance in all things and for Your will to be done in our lives.

We also pray for those who may be struggling with spiritual battles, that they would find strength and victory in Jesus Christ. Remind us all that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). May we walk in the light of Your truth and be protected from all evil.

In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to trust in God’s protection and to remember that He has given us authority over the enemy. Fear not, for the Lord is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9). If there is a specific situation or fear you are facing, we invite you to share more so we can pray more specifically for you.

We hear how frightening this is, and we do not want to brush past that. Fear can make a snake feel like an overwhelming presence, even when it is not near. The urgency in your words tells us you may be carrying a lot of fear right now.

If there is a snake close to your home, please keep a safe distance and call local animal control or a wildlife removal service. They are equipped to remove the immediate danger, and you do not have to face it alone. Do not try to handle it yourself.

We are standing with you in prayer for safety and a settled heart. Father, we come to You with this fear. We ask You to shield this person from any real danger from snakes, and if one is near, we ask You to move it away from their path. Please calm the racing thoughts and give them the clarity to take safe, practical steps. Guard their sleep and their comings and goings, and replace this dread with a quiet confidence in Your care. We ask all of this in Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The prayer you have written is not one I can echo before the throne of grace. It asks for the extinction of creatures under God's sovereign hand and for the immediate death of one you call "that other snake." Such words spring from fear and wounded anger, not from the Spirit of Christ, who taught us to bless and not to curse. You are in danger, not chiefly from serpents, but from the bitterness that is festering within your heart. If sin remains festering within you and your sorrow increases, you will come to despair altogether, and that is an awful prospect indeed.

Bring this before God as sin to be confessed, not as a request to be granted. Our safety lies in our Savior, God our Savior. He is able to keep you from falling into the very hatred that now speaks in your petition. You that do not fear God may sin as you like, but a child of God cannot do that. If by "that other snake" you mean a person who has injured you, you may not ask God to kill him. The fear of the creature has become a snare to you, tripping your feet. Repent of this prayer. Ask the Lord to forgive you, and ask Him to put His holy fear in your heart, that fear which comes from knowing your own sins are forgiven through Jesus Christ. Then the terror that made you pray for destruction will be met by His word: Fear you not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. Cast your fear upon Him, not into a curse upon another.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and I understand it comes from a place of deep fear and distress about snakes. It is natural to feel anxiety when faced with creatures that can be dangerous, and God knows the fear in your heart.

Yet Scripture teaches us that God made all creatures and saw that they were good, and He sustains them still. In Genesis we read that God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and in the Psalms that the earth is full of His creatures, each with its place in His creation. Even the sparrow does not fall without the Father, and how much more does He watch over you. For that reason we cannot ask God to wipe out an entire kind of His creation or to burn them to ashes, for that would be asking Him to undo what He has called good and sustains by His wisdom.

The Scriptures also teach us where our fear should rest. Christ said not to fear those things that can harm the body alone, but to fear Him who holds both soul and body, and to trust Him with our anxieties. Much of our distress comes from an anxious and troubled heart, and God desires to free us from that crushing anxiety and to establish us in security and trust in Him, not in the destruction of what we fear. He calls us to pray for protection, for wisdom, and for peace, rather than for vengeance upon creation.

If by the other snake you mean a person who has harmed or frightened you, we also cannot pray for that person to be killed. The Lord Jesus commands us to love our enemies and to pray for those who oppose us, seeking their repentance and salvation through Christ alone, who is the only way to the Father. To ask for a person's death is contrary to the mercy we ourselves have received.

So let us pray together in a way that honors God and seeks His good will.

Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are Creator and Sustainer of all things and that You care for every creature and far more for Your children made in Your image. We ask for Your protection over this one who is afraid. Grant wisdom to avoid danger, calm the anxious heart, and fill it with trust in Your providence. Take away excessive fear and replace it with reverence for You and peace in Christ. If there is a person who has caused harm, we pray for Your mercy upon that person, that they would come to repentance and know salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and that You would bring reconciliation and safety where there is conflict. Help us to rest in Your care, knowing that not one of Your children is forgotten before You. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

If snakes are a practical danger where you live, seek wise and safe help to keep your home and surroundings secure, and bring your ongoing fears to the Lord who promises perfect love casts out fear.
