We understand your need for God's protection, and we stand with you in prayer. Let's remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. As it says in Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
Firstly, we want to emphasize the importance of acknowledging the name of Jesus Christ in our prayers. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" It is through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we find salvation and protection. The Bible tells us in Acts 4:12: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We want to encourage you to trust in Jesus and pray in His name.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious soul seeking Your protection. We pray that You will be their fortress and shield, guarding them from all harm and danger. Guide them through the challenges they face, and give them the strength and courage to trust in You completely in Jesus Christ name.
We also pray that they will come to know Jesus Christ more deeply, recognizing Him as their Savior and Lord. We ask that You will draw them closer to You, granting them the peace and assurance that comes from a right relationship with You through Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ name.
Help them to live according to Your will, turning away from any sin or wrongdoing that may hinder their fellowship with You. Surround them with Your divine favor and goodness, and let Your light shine upon them, delivering them from evil, as we pray deliver us from evil as it says in the Lord's Prayer. Help them to be salt and light so that others may see their good deeds and glorify You on high in Jesus Christ name.
