We come before the Lord with hearts full of faith, lifting up your request for protection, discernment, and wisdom over you and your son. The Word of God assures 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 promise is a mighty foundation for our prayers, and we stand upon it now, declaring that no scheme of the enemy will succeed against you or your son.
Yet, we must also remember that our battles are not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Because of this, we must put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—to stand firm in every situation.
We also recognize that you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through His name that we have authority and 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."* And in Acts 4:12, we are told, *"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!"* So we lift this request to the Father *in the name of Jesus*, for it is by His power and authority that we can boldly approach the throne of grace.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine protection over this mother and her son. Lord, You are their shield and their strong tower, a present help in times of trouble. We ask that You surround them with Your heavenly angels, encamping around them as Psalm 34:7 declares, *"Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them."* Father, let no weapon formed against them prosper. Frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm them, whether through words, actions, or schemes. Turn every curse into a blessing and every attack into a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Grant them discernment, Lord, to recognize the snares of the enemy and the wisdom to navigate every situation with godly insight. James 1:5 tells us, *"But 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."* We ask for this wisdom now, that they may walk in Your will and make decisions that honor You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Counselor and Guide, leading them into all truth.
We also pray for their hearts, Lord. Guard them against bitterness, fear, or resentment toward those who may be acting as trespassers. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us, remembering Colossians 3:13, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* Let their response to hostility be one of grace, love, and trust in You.
Father, we ask that You soften the hearts of those who may be acting against them. Turn their hostility into kindness and their malice into repentance. Use this situation to draw all involved closer to You, that they may see Your power and glory and turn to You in faith.
Finally, Lord, we pray for peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Let them rest in the assurance that You are in control, that You see their struggles, and that You will never leave them nor forsake them.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your promises and declare victory over this situation in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, knowing that God is your protector and provider. Spend time in His Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with a community of believers who can pray with you and support you. And always remember, the battle belongs to the Lord—He is fighting for you even when you cannot see it.
If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is only through Him that we have eternal life and the power to overcome the challenges of this world. If you would like to know more about what it means to follow Jesus, we would be honored to share the good news with you. He loves you deeply and desires a personal relationship with you.
