We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of faith, lifting up this request for divine protection and breakthrough. Heavenly Father, we know that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We ask for Your mighty hand of protection to cover every person in need, shielding them from the schemes of the enemy. Your Word declares in Psalm 91:9-11, "Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways." Lord, we claim this promise over ourselves and all who are in need, trusting that You will surround us with Your angels and keep us safe from all harm.
Father, we also pray for a powerful breakthrough in every area where there is struggle or opposition. Your Word tells us in Isaiah 43:19, "Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." We believe that You are doing a new thing in our lives and in the lives of those we are reaching out to. Break every chain, shatter every stronghold, and open the floodgates of heaven to pour out Your blessings and favor.
As we prepare for our outreach, we ask for a fresh anointing of Your Holy Spirit. Lord, fill us with Your power and presence so that we may be effective vessels for Your glory. Open the hearts of those we will encounter, softening them to receive Your love and truth. Your Word says in Ezekiel 36:26, "I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." We pray for this transformation in the hearts of those we reach out to, that they may come to know You intimately.
We also pray against any hindrances or opposition that the enemy may try to bring. Your Word assures us in Romans 8:31, "What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Lord, we stand on this promise, knowing that You are greater than any force that may come against us. We rebuke every spirit of opposition and command it to flee in the mighty name of Jesus. Let nothing stand in the way of Your purposes being fulfilled through our outreach.
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. Strengthen our faith, increase our boldness, and fill us with Your peace as we step out in obedience to Your call. May Your name be glorified in all that we do, and may lives be transformed by the power of Your gospel.
In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
