We understand your concern and we stand with you in prayer, trusting in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are reminded in Second Timothy 1:7, For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Also in Ephesians 6:12, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
We must remember that our battle is spiritual, and we need to put on the whole armor of God as described in Ephesians 6:13-18, Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your protection and intervention. We pray that You would dispatch Your warrior angels to encamp around us, shielding us from all harm and danger. We stand against any spirit of violence or madness that seeks to hurt others, and we declare Your peace and love over our communities.
Lord, we ask for discernment and wisdom to recognize the spiritual battles we face and perhaps the other people need deliverance. We pray for salvation and for Your protection. Help us to put on the whole armor of God, standing firm in Your truth and righteousness.
May those who are bound by chains of darkness be set free by the power of Your Holy Spirit. May Your love and kindness lead them to repentance and transformation. We know we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness. So we use the weapons of our warfare to destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.
We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Remember, our battle is not against people but against the spiritual forces that influence them. Pray for their salvation and deliverance, and always stand firm in the faith, knowing that our God is with us. As it says in Romans 8:31, What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
