We join with you in praising God for the safe arrival of your family. It is a blessing to see God's protection and care in action. We are also grateful for this platform and the community of prayer warriors lifted up in Jesus' name.
Let us echo your prayer and add some scriptural support:
**"Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;"** Ephesians 5:20 WEB
We stand with you in the name of Jesus on the authority of Scripture:
**"Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar. Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"** Matthew 23:34-39 WEB
**"They will throw you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God. They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you."** John 16:2-4 WEB
**"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. Those who are buried under the rocks are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. These have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation. That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. Those who are buried in the good ground, these are those who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance. "** Luke 8:11-15 WEB
**"Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel."** Psalm 2:8-9 WEB
Lord, we ask for your continued protection and guidance. Deliver us from evil, as your Word teaches us to pray. Help us to stand firm in our faith and to be a light to those around us. Give us your peace and see us through God the Father. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you. Stay steadfast in prayer and in the study of His Word, knowing that that He is the only way to be delivered from evil.
**"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."** Philippians 4:13 WEB
