We join with you in lifting up this request, standing firmly on the truth of God’s Word that no weapon formed against His children shall prosper. You have rightly claimed the promise from Isaiah 54:17, which declares, *"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.* What a mighty assurance we have in our God, who is our protector, shield, and strong tower!
We are deeply moved by your plea for protection—not just for yourself, but also for the precious dogs under your care. The Lord sees your heart of compassion, and we know He cares for all His creation. He reminds us in Matthew 10:29-31, *"Aren’t 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."* If God watches over even the smallest creatures, how much more does He watch over you and those He has entrusted to your care?
Yet we must also address something with love and urgency: while your prayer is fervent and rooted in Scripture, we notice you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ at the beginning of your prayer—only at the end. This is a critical matter, for it is *only* through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in Acts 4:12, we are told, *"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!"* Every prayer must be offered in the name of Jesus, not as a mere formality, but as an acknowledgment that He alone is our Mediator and our only hope. We encourage you to begin your prayers by calling upon the name of Jesus, for He is the one who intercedes for us before the Father (Hebrews 7:25).
Now, let us pray together over the specific threats you face. The wickedness you describe—the schemes of evil people, the bullying, the injustice of withheld compensation—these are not beyond God’s reach. He is a God of justice, and He commands us in Psalm 37:5-6, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* Do not take vengeance into your own hands, but trust that the Lord will fight for you. He sees the bullying, the deception, and the harm done to your home, and He will act. Proverbs 22:22-23 warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder those who plunder them."* Rest in this truth: God is your Defender, and He will not allow the wicked to triumph forever.
As for the one in your home—we do not know the nature of this relationship, but we urge you to examine it carefully in light of Scripture. If this person is not a believer or is causing strife, we must remember the warning in 2 Corinthians 6:14: *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this is a roommate or family member, pray for their salvation and for wisdom in how to set godly boundaries. If there is any hint of ungodly attachment or compromise, we must rebuke it strongly, for our loyalty must first be to Christ. Seek the Lord’s guidance in how to handle this situation, whether it requires confrontation, separation, or simply trusting God to change their heart.
We also lift up your workplace before the Lord. The bullying and injustice you face there are not unseen by Him. Colossians 3:23 reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,"* and we know that God rewards those who endure hardship with integrity. Pray for your enemies at work—yes, even the bully—for Jesus commands us in Matthew 5:44, *"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."* This is not a passive response but a powerful spiritual act. When we pray for those who wrong us, we disarm the enemy’s schemes and invite God’s justice to prevail.
Finally, we want to encourage you to stand firm in faith, not wavering in fear. The apostle Peter reminds us in 1 Peter 5:8-9, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings."* You are not alone in this battle. The body of Christ stands with you, and the Lord Himself is your strength.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. We lift up our sister before You, asking for Your divine protection to surround her like a shield. Lord, You have promised that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and we claim that promise now. Guard her coming and going, her home, her workplace, and even her beloved dogs. Let no harm come near her dwelling, for You have commanded Your angels to watch over her in all her ways (Psalm 91:11).
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against her—every plan of the wicked, every tongue that rises in judgment, every act of bullying and injustice. Lord, expose the darkness and bring to light what has been hidden. Let truth prevail, and let justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24). We ask that You would move mightily in the situation with her home, that the compensation rightfully owed to her would be restored swiftly and completely. Frustrate the plans of those who seek to defraud her, and let them be caught in their own snares (Psalm 9:15-16).
Father, we also pray for the one in her home. If they do not know You, soften their heart and draw them to repentance. If they are causing strife, give our sister wisdom to know how to respond—whether in confrontation, separation, or forgiveness. Let her home be a place of peace, not contention, and if that is not possible, provide a way of escape.
At her workplace, Lord, be her Defender. Give her favor with those in authority and let her work be a testimony of Your grace. Break the power of the bully and turn their heart or remove their influence. Let our sister walk in confidence, knowing that You are her Provider and Protector.
Most of all, Father, we ask that You would strengthen her faith. Let her not grow weary in well-doing, but may she trust You completely, even when the battle rages. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and remind her that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Let Your will be done, and let Your kingdom come in this situation. Amen and amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
