We join with you in seeking the Lord for grace and spiritual protection over your being, and we count it a privilege to lift you up together in prayer.
We are reminded of how faithful God is to keep those who belong to Him. It is written, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 and The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Psalm 34:7. We also cling to the promise that But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4.
We want to gently point out that your request mentions the Lord but does not mention Jesus Christ. We want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and receive grace and protection. Jesus said to him, 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 placing our faith in Jesus, believing He died for our sins and rose again, that we are brought into the family of God and can dwell securely under His covering. If you have not already, we encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus Christ for salvation and to abide daily in Him.
Spiritual protection is not a vague force but a relationship of abiding in Christ, walking in obedience, and putting on what God has provided. We are told to Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11 and Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7. We encourage you to remain in the Word, to pray continually, to confess any known sin and turn from it, and to fellowship with other believers, for these are ways the Lord strengthens and guards us.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one who is asking for grace and protection. We ask that You pour out Your abundant grace upon them and cover their being, spirit, soul and body, with Your hand. We pray You would establish them and guard them from the evil one, that no weapon formed against them would prosper. Help them to dwell in Your secret place and to rest in Your shadow. Surround them with Your angels and let Your presence be their shield. Strengthen them to put on the whole armor of God each day, to stand firm in faith, truth, righteousness, and the gospel of peace. Draw them closer to Jesus, that they may know Him more deeply as their Savior and Lord, and find confidence that You are with them, for You have said, Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10. Fill them with Your peace that passes understanding and let Your grace sustain them in every trial. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and our protector. Amen.
