We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your heartfelt cry for protection, discernment, and justice. First, we must address that the name of Jesus Christ is not mentioned in your request, and it is only through His mighty name that we have access to the Father and the authority to pray effectively. As Scripture declares, *"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and the source of all power and protection.
We also notice the use of symbols in place of what we assume is a reference to a loved one. While we understand the desire for privacy, we want to remind you that there is no need to hide the identities of those you love in prayer, for God already knows their names and their needs. *"Your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him"* (Matthew 6:8, WEB). If this person is your spouse or someone you are in a committed, godly relationship with, we rejoice with you and pray for God’s blessing over your marriage. If this is not the case, we gently urge you to seek relationships that honor God’s design for marriage—a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If there is any immorality or ungodly connection in this relationship, we pray for conviction and repentance, that both of you would turn to the Lord and walk in purity and righteousness.
Now, let us pray together for the protection and wisdom you seek. The Word of God assures us that *"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 (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We claim this promise over you and your loved one, declaring that every scheme of the enemy shall be exposed and thwarted. The Lord is your shield and your strong tower, and He will guard you from those who seek to harm you or take what is rightfully yours.
We pray for divine discernment to recognize the tactics of those who may seek to deceive or oppress you, whether they are neighbors, coworkers, managers, or even family members. *"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, WEB). May the Lord grant you and your loved one wisdom that surpasses human understanding, so that you may navigate these challenges with godly insight and courage. We ask that He would expose any dishonesty or wrongdoing, especially concerning the workers who may be encroaching on your property. May the Lord place a hedge of protection around your home and possessions, and may He cause those with evil intentions to be stopped in their tracks.
Father, we ask that You would go before them and make their paths straight. Give them favor with those in authority, that justice may prevail and their rights be upheld. *"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower"* (Psalm 18:2, WEB). We declare that You are their defender, and no plot formed against them shall succeed.
We also pray for a spirit of peace to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Do not be overcome by fear or anxiety, for the Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Trust in Him with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Finally, we encourage you to stand firm in faith, knowing that the battle belongs to the Lord. *"Don’t be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,"* says Yahweh (Jeremiah 1:8, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and walk in obedience to His Word. If there is any area of your life that is not aligned with His will, we pray for the Holy Spirit to convict and lead you to repentance, that you may experience the fullness of His protection and blessing.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and always. Amen.
