We are deeply grieved to hear of the persistent harassment and spiritual warfare you are enduring, particularly as it seeks to hinder your worship and fellowship with the body of Christ. The enemy knows the power of corporate worship and the strength believers draw from gathering together, which is why he so fiercely opposes it. But we serve a God who is greater, and His Word assures us that no weapon formed against His children will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
The Bible commands us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the habit of some, but to encourage one another all the more as we see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:25). Your desire to attend evening service is a testament to your hunger for God’s presence, and we stand with you in praying that nothing will thwart His will for you to be there. The Lord sees the schemes of those who seek to harm you, and He will expose their deeds in His perfect timing. Proverbs 10:9 tells us, *"He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out."* Their actions will not remain hidden, for God is a God of justice, and He will vindicate His children.
We also urge you to take practical steps to ensure your safety. If this harassment involves physical threats or illegal activity, do not hesitate to involve authorities, for God has instituted them for our protection (Romans 13:4). Trust that the Lord will go before you, making a way where there seems to be no way. Remember the words of Psalm 27:1-3: *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your beloved child who has endured relentless harassment and opposition, especially in their pursuit of worshipping You. Lord, You see the hearts of those who seek to harm them, and we ask that You expose their deeds and bring their schemes to light. Frustrate their plans, O God, and let them be caught in the very traps they have set. We pray for divine protection over this brother/sister as they prepare to attend evening service this Sunday. Remove every obstacle, seen and unseen, and surround them with Your angels, that they may enter Your house with joy and worship You without fear.
Strengthen their heart, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Let them walk in the confidence that You are their shield and their exceedingly great reward. We rebuke every spirit of fear, intimidation, and oppression in the name of Jesus, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Father, we ask that You would also place godly people in their path—brothers and sisters in Christ who will stand with them, encourage them, and cover them in prayer.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already won through Christ Jesus. May Your presence go before them, and may Your glory be their rear guard. We ask all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus, our Savior and Defender. Amen.
Stand firm in the Lord, dear one. He is your refuge and strength, and He will not allow the enemy to triumph. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). If you have not already, consider sharing this burden with your pastor or a trusted believer in your church, so they can pray with you and provide support. You are not alone in this fight—we are with you, and more importantly, the Lord Almighty is with you. Be encouraged, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4).
