In times of uncertainty and danger, we turn to God's Word for comfort and guidance. We are reminded in Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
Beloved, we must ensure that our requests are aligned with God's will and that we are in a right relationship with Him through faith in Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 "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!"
Let us pray together for God's protection and guidance,
Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine protection and guidance. We trust in You, Lord, as our refuge and fortress. Guide us by Your Holy Spirit and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Help us to discern Your will and give us the strength to follow it. We ask for physical safety but also the spiritual wisdom to navigate this world as children of the light. Hide us under the shadow of Your wings, and let Your truth be our shield and buckler.
Lord, we also pray for those who may be feeling vulnerable and afraid, that You would comfort them with Your love and surround them with Your peace. We pray for the intercession of the Holy Spirit, that He would work in the lives of those who do not yet know You, revealing Your truth and drawing them to faith in Jesus Christ. We ask this all in Jesus' name, for it is in His name that we have access to You, Father. Amen.
Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
