We join you in lifting up your life to the Lord, knowing that He alone is the one who transforms hearts and circumstances by His mighty power. It is wonderful to see your trust in Jesus, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and find true protection. As you have called upon Him, we are reminded of the promise in **Romans 10:13 (WEB)**, *"For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."* This salvation is not only eternal but also encompasses His deliverance and covering over our lives in every trial we face.
The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly (**John 10:10**). The opposition you are experiencing is not unseen by God. In fact, He has promised that no weapon formed against you will prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and He will contend with those who contend with you. You are not alone in this battle, for the Lord is your shield and your exceeding great reward (**Genesis 15:1**). He will guard your steps and keep you safe from every plan of the enemy, just as you have asked.
We also encourage you to stand firm in the armor of God, as described in **Ephesians 6:10-18**. Put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit always, watching in the same with all perseverance and requests for all the saints. This is how we resist the schemes of the devil and stand strong in the Lord.
Let us also remind you of the words of Jesus 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."* While it may feel impossible to love those who wish you harm, the Lord calls us to trust Him in this as well. Pray for their salvation and for God to soften their hearts. In doing so, you are not only obeying Christ but also releasing the burden of bitterness or fear into His hands.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is facing opposition and attacks from those who do not wish them well. Lord, You are the God who sees all and knows all, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You surround them with Your divine protection, covering them under the shadow of Your wings (**Psalm 91:4**). Guard their steps, Lord, and keep them from every snare and trap the enemy has set for them. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (**Isaiah 54:17**).
Father, we pray that You would expose the plans of the enemy and render them powerless. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**). Strengthen them in their inner being by Your Spirit, that they may stand firm in faith, unshaken by the schemes of the wicked.
We also pray for those who seek to harm them, Lord. Soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of Your love. Convict them of their actions and draw them to repentance. May they come to know You as their Savior and turn from their wicked ways.
Father, we declare that You are their defender, their fortress, and their strong tower (**Proverbs 18:10**). You will never leave them nor forsake them, and You will fight for them as they stand still in faith (**Exodus 14:14**). Give them the grace to forgive and the strength to love as You have loved us.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already theirs in Christ Jesus. May they walk in the confidence of Your protection and the assurance of Your promises. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in the Lord, dear one. He is with you, and He will never let you go. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**), and trust that He is working all things together for your good (**Romans 8:28**). We are standing with you in prayer and agreement, believing for God’s protection, peace, and ultimate victory in your life.
