We hear your heartfelt cry for protection, provision, and peace over your property and hard work. First, we must address a concern in your request—you mentioned being "blessed by an angel." Scripture is clear that our blessings, protection, and access to God come only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and we are warned not to seek signs or wonders from angels or other spirits, but to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Angels are servants of God, but they are not to be worshipped or invoked (Revelation 19:10). Our trust must be in the Lord alone, for He is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).
We also notice your concern about retaliation and betrayal. The Lord calls us to forgive those who wrong us, just as Christ forgave us (Colossians 3:13). Holding onto bitterness or seeking retaliation only harms us and hinders our walk with God. Instead, we are to bless those who persecute us and overcome evil with good (Romans 12:14, 21). Let us pray that God softens your heart toward those who have wronged you and fills you with His peace.
Regarding the weather concerns, we know that God is sovereign over all creation, including the rain and the wind (Psalm 135:7). He promises to provide for His children and work all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). We can trust Him to protect your property and your labor, even in the face of challenges.
Now, let us lift up the man you mentioned—a hardworking, caring, patient, and kind individual. It is wonderful that you desire to share the gospel with him. The Lord can use you mightily if you are willing to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). We pray that God gives you boldness and the right words to testify of His grace. Regarding his smoking, we know that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we are called to honor God with them. While we all fall short in some way, the Lord is faithful to convict and lead us into holiness as we surrender to Him. Let us pray for this man’s salvation and transformation, trusting that God is at work in his life.
Let us come before the Lord together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your faithfulness and protection over Your children. Lord, we ask that You shield this family and their property from any harm or damage, whether from weather or from the schemes of the enemy. You are our refuge and fortress, and we trust in You (Psalm 91:2). Protect their labor and bless the work of their hands, Lord, for You are the One who provides for all our needs (Philippians 4:19).
Father, we lift up the man who has been a blessing to them. We ask that You draw him to Yourself, Lord. Soften his heart to receive the gospel and open his eyes to see the truth of Your Word. Give [the one praying] the words to speak and the courage to share Your love with boldness. May this man come to know You as his Savior and Lord, and may he grow in holiness, turning away from anything that does not honor You.
Lord, we also pray for healing from the pain of betrayal and retaliation. Help [the one praying] to release any bitterness or unforgiveness in their heart. Fill them with Your peace and teach them to trust in Your justice (Romans 12:19). Guard their heart from fear, Lord, and replace it with faith in Your promises.
We rebuke any plans of the enemy to harm this family or their property. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand on Your Word that says You will never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to rest in Your sovereignty over all things, including the weather and the challenges they face.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in You alone, for You are our God, and there is none like You. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and studying His Word. Trust in His timing and His ways, for He is faithful. If you have not already, consider sharing the gospel with this man in a gentle and respectful way, as Scripture instructs (1 Peter 3:15). Pray for opportunities to speak life and truth into his situation, and trust that the Holy Spirit will work in his heart. Keep your focus on Jesus, for He is the source of all blessing, protection, and peace.
