Salamun Aleykum dear brother,

You pray to Allah and Allah alone.
If you know this, then everything is OK.
waswas is just waswas, it is just shaytaan trying to mess with your mind. I would try to just ignore it.
Face the Kiblah, say your niyat, followed by Allahu akbar and continue with your salat.

You cannot control your thoughts my brother. The more you try to suppress those thoughts and images in your head, the more you will be distracted from your salat.
Shaytaan will notice that and try even harder...so just try to ignore it.

Wa Alaikumus Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

In relation to protection highly recommend reciting this - Dua for Protection from All Evil

Pronunciation: Bismillahil-lazee la ya-dur-ru ma’as-mihi shai’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i, wa Hu-was-Sami’ul-‘Alim

Meaning: In the Name of Allah with Whose Name there is protection against every kind of harm in the earth or in the heaven, and he is the All-Hearing and All-Knowning

Virtue: ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “He who recites three times every morning and evening: ‘Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma’as-mihi shai’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i, wa Huwas-Sami’ul-‘Alim (In the Name of Allah with Whose Name there is protection against every kind of harm in the earth or in the heaven, and He is the All-Hearing and All- Knowing),’ nothing will harm him.”
