We join with you in praying for the peace and protection of your family, and we thank you for bringing this request before the Lord. It is a beautiful and godly desire to want to live in peace and to be kept safe from the devil and from evil, and to have good and godly influences surrounding your home.
The Scriptures assure us that true peace comes from God Himself. Jesus said, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you John 14:27, and we are promised that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. We also take comfort that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and that the angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them Psalm 34:7. We are called to be sober and watchful, because your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8, but we are also told to be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7.
We also hear your heart to have good people placed in your path and the bad taken away. The Word teaches us that He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm Proverbs 13:20, and that evil companionships corrupt good morals 1 Corinthians 15:33. While we pray for God to guard your family from harmful influences, we also encourage you to walk in discernment, to seek fellowship with believers who will strengthen your faith, and to be a light even when you encounter those who do not know the Lord, remembering the call, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18.
We noticed you prayed to My Lord, and we want to gently encourage you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is by believing in Jesus, His death and resurrection for our sins, that we are saved and our prayers are heard. We pray that you know Him personally as Lord and Savior and that you will continue to bring every request in His precious name.
We pray together for you now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and lift up this dear family to You. We ask that You pour out Your peace upon their home and let Your presence dwell richly among them. Keep them safe from the schemes of the devil and from all evil, cover them with Your protection and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Surround them with good, godly people who will encourage them in faith and love, and give them wisdom to discern and distance themselves from influences that would lead them away from You. Help them to resist the evil one by submitting to You daily, walking in Your Word and in prayer. Draw each member of this family closer to Jesus, that they may know the full assurance of salvation through Him. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
