We hear your cry for protection and safety and we join with you in prayer, asking our Heavenly Father to surround you with His peace and presence in this moment of fear.
God sees your fear and He does not turn away from it. His Word tells us that He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1 and that when we are afraid we can put our trust in Him Psalm 56:3. We are reminded that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7 and He says to us, Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10.
We also want to gently share with you that you called out to God, but you did not mention the name of Jesus. We want you to know how precious it is that we have access to the Father only through His Son. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is because Jesus died for our sins and rose again that we can come boldly before God and find mercy and protection. If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus as your Savior, we encourage you to believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and confess Him as Lord, for with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation Romans 10:9-10.
We pray together for you now.
Father, we lift up this precious one to You who is feeling scared and in need of safety. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ that You would cover them with Your wings and be their shelter. Your Word says he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust Psalm 91:1-2. Lord, let Your perfect love cast out all fear, calm their heart, and guard their mind. We ask that You would make Your presence known to them tonight, that they would feel Your hand upholding them and Your angels encamping around those who fear You Psalm 34:7. Help them to cast all their anxiety on You because You care for them 1 Peter 5:7 and to experience the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. Lead them to trust more deeply in Jesus, to call upon His name, and to rest in the assurance that You will never leave them nor forsake them. We ask this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and refuge, amen.
We encourage you to keep calling on the name of Jesus, to read His promises aloud when fear rises, and to share your burden with a trusted pastor or mature Christian believer who can pray with you in person and walk with you. You are not alone, for the Lord is near to you and we are standing with you in prayer.
