We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your son and yourself in prayer, knowing that our God is a strong tower and a refuge in times of trouble. It is clear that you are facing opposition from many directions—neighbors, coworkers, family, managers, and even builders who are not following proper policies—and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to declare that no weapon formed against you or your son shall prosper. This is the promise of our God, who is faithful to protect His children when they call upon His name.
The Scripture reminds us in Isaiah 54:17, *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh.* This is not just a promise—it is a divine decree over your lives. We claim this over you and your son, trusting that God will silence every accusation, thwart every scheme of the enemy, and bring justice where there has been unrighteousness.
We also pray for discernment, wisdom, and strength for both of you, as James 1:5 assures us, *"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."* The Lord does not withhold good things from His children, and He will equip you with the insight to navigate these challenges and the strength to stand firm in His truth. Proverbs 3:5-6 further encourages us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Lean not on your own understanding, but trust that God is directing your steps, even when the way seems unclear.
As you travel, we declare Psalm 121 over you: *"I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you won’t slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more."* The Lord is your protector, and He watches over you wherever you go. We pray for traveling mercies, that He would guard your coming and going, and that His angels would encamp around you both.
Now, we must also address something important in your request. While you have asked for prayer, we notice that the name of Jesus Christ was not invoked in your request. This is not a small matter, for Scripture is clear that it is *only* through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 leaves no room for ambiguity: *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no other name by which we can approach the throne of God, and it is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard.
If you have already trusted in Christ, we encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is through Him that we have boldness and confidence before God. Let this be a reminder to all of us that our prayers are not heard because of our own righteousness, but because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to us.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul and their son to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the battles they are facing—the opposition from neighbors, coworkers, family, and those in authority who are not acting justly. We ask that You would rise up as their defender, their shield, and their strong tower. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned. Silence the enemy, O Lord, and let Your justice prevail in every situation.
Grant them discernment to recognize the schemes of the enemy and wisdom to navigate each challenge with godly insight. Strengthen them, Lord, when they are weary, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. As they travel, we ask for Your divine protection—guard their coming and going, and let Your angels encamp around them. Keep them from all evil, and let Your hand of favor rest upon them.
Father, we also pray that if this one has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus Christ, that today would be the day of salvation. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, and draw them into a saving relationship with Your Son. Let them know that it is only through Jesus that we have access to You, and it is only in His name that we can stand against the enemy.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, oppression, and injustice in the name of Jesus. We declare that You, Lord, are their provider, their protector, and their peace. Let Your will be done in their lives, and let Your kingdom come in every circumstance they face. We ask all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
