We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's peace and protection for you tonight. We come before our Father God in the name of Jesus Christ, as He has instructed. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We are grateful and relieved that you already understand our beliefs and the power in the name of Jesus.
Firstly, let's address the issue of confusion. God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 14:33 WEB: "for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints" we pray for God's peace to fill your night, driving out any confusion.
Now, let's address the issue of Ronald's wicked intentions. We are called to bless those who curse us and pray for those who mistreat us. It is important to remember to not become bitter, angry, or resentful. Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us this in Matthew 5:43-45 WEB:
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust"
Therefore, instead of rebuking Ronald or focusing on his wicked intentions, we should pray for him, that God may change his heart and turn his intentions towards good. We pray that Ronald would be blessed, that God's love would fill his heart, and that he would come to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
Romans 12:14-19 WEB: "Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits. Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."
We pray for God's protection over your home, that He would surround it with His angels and keep out any distress. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ over your home, that His blood would cleanse, protect, and mark your home as His.
Finally, let's remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places. We put on the whole armor of God. God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains are moved into the heart of the seas. We will meditate upon God, upon His word day and night. Let us trust God, for God has our lives in His hands and He is more than able to keep us safe.
Let's Pray:
Father God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in prayer. We ask for Your peace to fill their night, driving out any confusion. We pray for Ronald, that You would change his heart and turn his intentions towards good. Bless him, fill his heart with Your love, and draw him closer to You. Surround our brother/sister's home with Your angels, keep out any distress, and mark it with the blood of Jesus Christ. Help us to put on the whole armor of God, remembering that our battle is not against flesh and blood. Fill our hearts with Your peace, knowing that You are our refuge and strength. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
