We join with you in lifting up this request before the Lord, standing firm on His Word and His promises. It is good that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is in His mighty name alone that we find protection, deliverance, and strength.
Your prayer reflects a heart seeking God’s protection from evil and harm, and we stand with you in this, for the Lord is our fortress and deliverer. The Scripture you referenced is a powerful reminder: *"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," says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Let us hold fast to this truth, trusting that God is faithful to guard and keep those who belong to Him.
We sense a deep concern in your words, particularly regarding the person in your home. The request for their removal suggests a situation that may be harmful or ungodly. If this person is causing strife, danger, or leading you into compromise with sin, it is right to seek God’s intervention. Scripture warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If this individual is not honoring the Lord or is bringing chaos and unrighteousness into your home, we pray that God would make a way for their departure or for reconciliation through repentance. If there is sin involved—whether it be anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, or any form of ungodly behavior—we must first examine our own hearts. *"First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye"* (Matthew 7:5, WEB). Seek the Lord’s wisdom in how to address this situation, whether through confrontation, boundaries, or seeking godly counsel. If this person is engaging in sinful behavior, such as violence, substance abuse, or immorality, it is not only your right but your responsibility to seek safety and separation, trusting God to guide your steps.
We also lift up your request for protection at work and for the correct paperwork to secure reasonable accommodations. The Lord cares about every detail of our lives, and He is able to go before you to make the crooked paths straight. *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). Trust that He will provide what you need, whether it be favor with those in authority or clarity in navigating the process. Do not lean on your own understanding, but acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Your pets are also under the Lord’s care, for He is the Creator of all living things. *"Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father’s will, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows"* (Matthew 10:29-31, WEB). If He watches over the sparrows, how much more does He care for you and the animals He has entrusted to your care?
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, seeking Your protection, provision, and peace for Your child who has brought this request before You. Lord, You are a shield around them, their glory, and the One who lifts their head (Psalm 3:3). We ask that You surround them with Your heavenly host, placing a hedge of protection around their home, their workplace, and even their beloved dogs. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned. Frustrate the plans of the wicked, O Lord, and let their schemes come to nothing. Bring confusion to those who seek to harm them, and let Your justice prevail.
Father, we lift up the situation in their home. If there is ungodliness, strife, or danger present, we ask for Your divine intervention. If this person is not of You, Lord, remove them from this home and provide a way of escape. If there is sin that needs to be addressed, convict hearts and bring repentance. Give Your child wisdom to know how to proceed—whether to set boundaries, seek help, or speak truth in love. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We pray for their workplace, Lord. Open the doors for the correct paperwork to be completed without delay. Grant them favor with those in authority, and let Your hand guide every step of the process. Remove any obstacles that the enemy may place in their path, and let Your will be done in this situation. Provide for them, Lord, according to Your riches in glory, and let them see Your faithfulness in this season.
Father, we also ask for Your protection over their pets. Keep them safe from harm, sickness, and danger. Let Your peace rest upon this home, and let Your presence be a comfort to Your child in every moment.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You strengthen their faith during this time. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let them not be afraid, for You are with them. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, and let them walk in the confidence that comes from knowing You are sovereign over all things.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and doubt that may try to take hold. We declare that You, Lord, are greater than any challenge they face, and we trust You to work all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Let Your will be done in their life, and let Your name be glorified through this situation.
In the mighty and powerful name of Jesus we pray, amen.
