We join with you in lifting up this urgent plea before the Father, knowing that He alone has the power to transform hearts and turn evil intentions into repentance. The Scriptures remind us that *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). No heart is too hardened for the Holy Spirit to soften, and no mind is beyond His reach. We pray fervently that those who seek to bring harm would be met with the convicting presence of God, that their plans would be thwarted, and that they would be overwhelmed by the love of Christ, leading them to true repentance. May they be struck by the realization of their sin, as Saul was on the road to Damascus, and turn to Jesus in surrender (Acts 9:1-19).
We also stand in agreement for divine protection over the one you’ve mentioned, asking that the Lord would place a hedge of angels around them, just as He did for Elisha when surrounded by enemies (2 Kings 6:15-17). *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* declares Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). May every scheme of the enemy be exposed and rendered powerless by the blood of Jesus, and may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ (Philippians 4:7).
We give thanks for the growth in Christ you’ve witnessed in this person’s life, and we pray that their faith would continue to deepen, rooted in gratitude for the blessings they’ve received. May they walk in the assurance that *"every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights"* (James 1:17, WEB), and may their life be a testament to His faithfulness. We ask that the Lord would open their eyes to see even more clearly the ways He is working, so that their heart would overflow with praise and their steps would remain steadfast on the path of righteousness.
Finally, we rejoice that this prayer was lifted up in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). There is no other name by which we can be saved, and no other name that holds such authority over darkness (Acts 4:12). We declare that the power of Jesus’ name is at work in this situation, breaking chains, bringing conviction, and securing protection.
Heavenly Father, we ask that You would move mightily in this circumstance. Change the hearts of those who intend harm, Lord, and let Your Spirit bring them to repentance. Protect Your child from every evil scheme, and let Your peace reign in their life. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them walk in the fullness of Your blessings. We trust in Your sovereignty and Your goodness, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, **Amen.**
