Are you and your family adequately prepared in the event of additional terrorist attacks? If not, put God's hedge of protection around yourself and your family with the prayer below. Father God, I come before You in the precious name of Jesus to ask that You would protect and guard the air I breathe, the food I eat, and the water I drink from any biological or chemical attack by terrorists. I pray Father that You would also protect my family too. I know that Your word declares in Luke 10:19 that Jesus has given me authority over all the works of the enemy. So in Jesus name I take that authority and shield myself and my family from all life threatening germs or chemical attacks by terrorists. If they attack our water, I pray You would make it as sweet and pure as the finest spring. If they attack our food supply, I pray You would make it like it came from Your garden in heaven. If they attack our air, I pray you would make it as fresh as after a rainstorm. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
The following verses are from Isaiah the prophet and were written in the Old Testament of the Bible in 740-680 BC. Seven Hundred years before Jesus Christ was born. Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high an lifted up, and greatly exalted. Just as many were astonished at you, My people; So His appearance was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men. Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, and what they had not heard they will understand. Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. 
All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. He was oppressed and He was afflicted; Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? His grave was assigned with wicked men, yet He was with a rich man in His death, because He had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth. But the Lord was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it an be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors. Isaiah 52:13-15, 53:1-12 NASV  He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Matt. 28:6 NASV
Isn't this an amazing prophecy? Who else in history could this be describing but Jesus Christ Himself. Just look at all the references to his birth, death, ressurection and ministry. Let me ask you a question. When you take a trip to a destination you have never been before do make plans on how to get there? Where to stop for gas, food, rest, etc.? What plans have you made for eternity?
The Bible speaks of two destinations for eternity, Heaven and Hell. Heaven is described in the book of Revelation chapter 21 as a paradise with no death, mourning, crying or pain. Hell is described in Isaiah 66:24 as a place of torment where their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched." Eternal torment is further described in the book of Revelation 20:15 as a "Lake of Fire". Isaiah the prophet perfectly describes in the above passages who Jesus is and what He has done for you and me. As you can clearly see Jesus paid the full price for all of our sins when he went to the cross of Calvary on our behalf. In fact, he received all of God's judgment for sin upon Himself so that you and I could have forgiveness for our sins and live in Heaven forever.
If you would like to spend your eternity enjoying Heaven, you need to make plans now by inviting Jesus into your life. He said in the Gospel of John chapter 14:6: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me". If you would like to spend your eternity in pain, suffering, anguish and submerged in liquid fire. Do nothing, you will be escorted to Hell the second you die and you will be tormented forever. It's your choice.
The fact is that if you do not yet know Christ as your Savior the prayer for Divine protection (and all others) you pray are useless because you have no spiritual protection from God. Jesus is the only way to the Father and to His protection for your life. I urge you to invite Him into your life now. He offers all people everywhere a Free Gift Please Pray the Prayer Below That Best Fits Your Needs.
1. Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died for my sins and that You were raised three days later just as Isaiah the prophet described 700 years before you were born.
