We join you in lifting up your sister and precious niece before the Lord, standing in agreement with your heartfelt cry for their protection. How beautiful it is to see you calling upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through whom we boldly approach the throne of grace. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Him alone is a testament to your trust in His sovereign power, and we commend you for it.
The forces of darkness are indeed real, seeking to devour and destroy through deception, fear, and unseen schemes. But we serve a God who is greater—*"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Let us take refuge in the truth that our Lord is a strong tower, a shield, and a deliverer. He does not slumber nor sleep but watches over His children with unwavering care. *"He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart"* (Psalm 91:4, WEB).
Yet, while we pray for their physical and psychological safety, we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. Therefore, let us put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—so that we may stand firm (Ephesians 6:10-18). We encourage you to speak life and Scripture over your sister and niece daily, declaring God’s promises of protection and peace over them. Remind them, too, of the power of prayer and the authority they have in Christ to resist the enemy.
If there are areas in their lives where they may be vulnerable—whether through ungodly influences, fear, or spiritual compromise—let us pray that the Holy Spirit would convict and guide them into truth. May they walk in wisdom, discernment, and a deep reliance on Christ. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, lifting up this sister and her daughter—your precious daughters—into Your loving hands. Lord, You are their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask that You surround them with Your heavenly angels, encamping around them to guard them in all their ways (Psalm 91:11). Protect them, Lord, from every scheme of the enemy—whether seen or unseen, physical or spiritual. Break every chain of fear, anxiety, or confusion that the enemy may try to place upon them. Fill their hearts with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and let them rest in the assurance that You are sovereign over their lives.
Father, we rebuke the forces of darkness that seek to harm them. By the blood of Jesus and the authority given to us as Your children, we command every evil plan, every deceitful spirit, and every weapon formed against them to be rendered powerless. Let no harm come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10). Cover them with Your feathers, Lord, and let them find safety under Your wings.
We pray also for their spiritual walk, Father. Draw them closer to You. If there are areas in their lives that need surrender or repentance, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them into righteousness. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them walk in the fullness of Your promises. May they be women who seek You first, who trust in Your protection, and who live in the victory that Christ has already won.
Lord, we thank You that You hear our prayers and that You are faithful to keep what we have entrusted to You. We declare Your protection over them in the name of Jesus, believing that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear one. Keep praying, keep declaring God’s Word, and trust that He is moving on their behalf. If there are specific areas of concern—such as their spiritual walk, relationships, or external threats—let us know so we can pray more specifically. You are not alone in this; we are standing with you in the name of Jesus.
