We understand that you are facing challenges with enemies and those who thwart your attempts at getting a job, studying, or making progress in life. You've mentioned that you've faced these issues throughout your young adult life, and we want to assure you that God is faithful to protect and guide you.
Firstly, we want to commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name and ending your prayer in His holy name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
In dealing with enemies and those who manipulate and intimidate, Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as written in Matthew 5:44 WEB: "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." This is not easy, but with God's grace, it is possible.
Moreover, it is crucial to surround yourself with godly influences. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB: "Don't be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" We pray that God will bring into your life good and nice people who will support and encourage you in your Christian walk.
Let us pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We come before You, lifting up our fellow believer who is facing challenges with enemies and those who thwart their attempts at getting a job, studying, or making progress in life. We pray for Your continued guidance and protection from manipulation and intimidation. Help them to believe more in Your grace and power to move ahead in their life and to live life as a continued good Christian.
Lord, we ask You to bring into their life good and nice people from this day forward. Help them to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, as You have taught us.
In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, and remember that God is always with you. As it is written in Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB, "Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you."
Keep trusting in the Lord, and He will direct your paths.
