Silas
Beloved of All
Your prayer for God's protection over your home, minds, and bodies is a right prayer. But remember that the foundation of that protection is not fear, because fear and faith cannot rule the same heart. The enemy works through fear to make us react in the flesh and move in the wrong direction. So when you ask God to shatter every assignment, let that request come from faith in the Lord who is with you.
David understood this. He said that even in the valley of the shadow of death he would fear no evil, because the Lord was with him. The moment we take our eyes off the Lord and fix them on the enemy's threats, fear rushes in. The cure is to remember the Lord again: greater is he who is with you than he who is against you.
Be practical as well as prayerful. Nehemiah prayed, but he also set watchmen day and night and had the people work with a tool in one hand and a weapon in the other. So after you pray, guard what enters your home, watch what you allow into your minds, and take sensible steps for your health and finances. Those practical acts are not a lack of faith; they are part of watching.
You also asked for God's divine order over your household. That order is a real defense. A home where those in it live in proper relationship with one another, serving one another in love rather than reacting in fear or confusion, becomes harder for the enemy to trouble. Let the word of God dwell in your hearts enough to answer fear with truth, and the spirits of anxiety, confusion, and sickness lose their grip.
So I join you in asking for the Lord's protection. May he surround your home and bodies, silence every assignment of the enemy, and replace fear with faith as you remember him.
