We hear your cry for safety and protection today and we join with you in bringing this urgent request before the throne of God together in Jesus name. Your heart is asking simply to survive this day and this week, and God hears that prayer. He is not distant from your fear and weariness.
The Lord is your refuge and your protector. Psalm 91:1-2 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. And Psalm 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. He sees you right now and He is able to keep you safe.
We also want to gently share with you that you prayed to God, and we want you to know the way we come to the Father is through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 says, 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. It is by believing in Jesus, that He died for our sins and rose again, that we have access to God and the assurance of His presence and protection. If you have not yet put your trust in Him, we encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus today, confess Him as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, as Romans 10:9 teaches.
We are praying for you and we want to encourage you with the promises of God for your fear. Isaiah 41:10 says, Dont you be afraid, for I am with you. Dont 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. And 2 Thessalonians 3:3 says, But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. You do not have to carry the weight of this whole week at once. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:34 to let each day have its own concerns, and that our Father knows what we need. Philippians 4:6-7 says, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We pray together for you now.
Father, we lift up this dear one to You in the mighty name of Jesus. You see the burden and the fear that makes them cry out just to survive this day and this week. Lord, we ask that You surround them with Your protection and keep them safe from all harm. Be their refuge and fortress, their shelter in the storm. Strengthen them for this day, give them breath and courage for tomorrow, and carry them through this week by Your grace. Let Your perfect peace guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Reveal Yourself to them as the faithful God who is with them and will never leave them nor forsake them. Draw them close to Jesus, that they may know the full assurance of Your love and salvation. We ask that You provide trusted people around them to support and help them, and lead them to hope and safety. We trust them into Your hands. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to keep crying out to the Lord each day, to read His Word, and to reach out to a trusted pastor, believer, or counselor near you who can walk with you through this week. You are not alone, God is with you and we are standing with you in prayer.
