We understand that you are seeking prayer for protection from certain individuals and their influences, as well as blessings for your work, life, and family. We stand with you in prayer, trusting in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is only through Him that we have access to God's throne of grace.
Let us first address the issue of influence. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" It is important to surround ourselves with godly influences and to be cautious of those who may lead us astray. We pray that God will give you discernment and wisdom in navigating these relationships, and that He will protect you from any harmful influences.
Regarding your work and life, we are reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." We pray that you will put your trust in God, acknowledging Him in all your ways, and that He will make your paths straight, easing your burdens and blessing your endeavors.
For your family, we turn to Ephesians 3:14-15, "For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named." We pray that God will bless your family, that you will walk in His love, and that He will grant you the wisdom and strength to guide your family in His ways which are only ways that are found in His holy word. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child. We pray that You will protect them from any harmful influences, giving them discernment and wisdom in their relationships. We ask that You will make their paths straight, easing their burdens and blessing their work and life. We also pray for Your blessings and guidance upon their family, that they may walk in Your love and Your ways. We ask this all in Jesus' name, for it is in His name that we have access to Your throne of grace. It is also only in Jesus Christ that we can hope to be saved from this world and live in heaven with our eternal Father. We also ask that your Holy Spirit open up opportunities for your child to share the gospel with these individuals who are not believers. We also ask that your Holy Spirit will convict their hearts for their unbelief and change them to be followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
