We lift up your father to our Heavenly Father, who sees all things and cares deeply for His children. It grieves us to hear of the evil he faced today—such wickedness and disrespect are an affront to God’s command to "honor your father and mother" (Exodus 20:12) and to "do to others as you would have them do to you" (Luke 6:31). The Lord is just, and He will not allow the wicked to go unpunished forever. We pray that those who sought to harm your father will be confronted by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, that they may repent and turn from their sinful ways. May God also protect your father from further harm and surround him with customers who are honest, kind, and generous, paying him fairly for his hard work.
We also bring his health before the Lord, asking for strength, healing, and restoration. The Bible tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we pray that God would sustain your father’s body, giving him the energy and vitality to continue providing for his family. May the Lord grant him wisdom in managing his health and open doors for better opportunities that do not expose him to such dangers.
Most importantly, we pray that your father would find his ultimate security in Christ. If he does not yet know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we ask that the Lord would draw him near, revealing His love and salvation. There is no greater protection than being hidden in Christ, and no greater peace than knowing that our lives are in His hands. "Don’t 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).
Heavenly Father, we ask that You would surround this family with Your peace and provision. Comfort them in this time of distress and remind them that You are their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Give your father favor in the eyes of those he encounters, and may his work be a testimony of Your faithfulness. We also pray for this dear child who has brought this request before us—strengthen their faith, Lord, and fill them with Your peace as they trust You to care for their father.
We rebuke the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and we declare that no weapon formed against your father shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). May the Lord go before him, making his paths straight and his work fruitful. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Protector. Amen.
