We join with you in gratitude for the truth of Exodus 33:14, where our Lord declares, *"My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."* What a mighty promise for every child of God! We also rejoice that you have lifted this request in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and receive all things. *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me,"* our Savior reminds us in John 14:6. Your acknowledgment of this truth is foundational, and we encourage you to always approach the throne of grace with confidence in His name.
Your request for wisdom, favor, and technical skill is one we bring before the Lord with urgency, for we know that *"if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5). The tasks before you—accessing an important website and setting up a computer securely—are not trivial in this digital age, where both functionality and protection are vital. We pray that the Lord would grant you not only the knowledge to accomplish these things swiftly but also the discernment to navigate any challenges with godly wisdom. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed,"* Proverbs 16:3 assures us. May He order your steps and make your hands skillful for the work ahead.
Yet as we pray, we must also address something in your request that gives us pause. You asked for the Lord to give His angels charge over *"us"* to keep *"us"* in all our ways, referencing Psalm 91:11. While it is beautiful to claim this promise, we notice that your prayer seems to imply you are seeking this protection for more than just yourself—perhaps for someone else involved in this endeavor. If that is the case, we gently but firmly remind you that the blessings and protection of God are poured out upon those who are in Christ Jesus. *"Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them,"* Psalm 34:7 tells us. It is essential that whoever you are including in this *"us"* is walking in right standing with God, through faith in Jesus Christ alone. If there is someone in your life who does not yet know the Lord, we urge you to share the Gospel with them, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12).
If, however, you were simply using *"us"* in a general or collective sense without specific reference to another person, we still encourage you to be mindful of how you invoke the promises of God. His Word is powerful, and we must handle it with precision and reverence, ensuring that our prayers align with His will and His conditions for blessing.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your abiding presence, which goes before us and grants us rest even in the midst of our labors. We lift up our brother/sister before You, asking that You would pour out Your wisdom upon them as they seek to navigate these technical tasks. Lord, You are the God of all knowledge, and nothing is too difficult for You. Grant them clarity of mind, steady hands, and divine favor to access what is needed and to set up this computer with both efficiency and security. Protect them from any snares or complications the enemy might seek to introduce, for *"the horse is prepared for the day of battle; but victory is with Yahweh"* (Proverbs 21:31).
We also pray for Your angels to encamp around them, Lord, as they walk in obedience to Your Word. If there are others involved in this work, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, that they too may know the safety and blessing of being hidden in Christ. Convict any heart that is not yet surrendered to You, and grant our brother/sister the boldness to speak Your truth in love.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would use even these practical tasks for Your glory. May every click, every setting, and every connection be an opportunity to trust You more deeply. Remind them that *"unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1). We commit this entire endeavor to You, asking that You would establish the work of their hands.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
