Protection

[EnricoLange]

Asking for extra strong protection and breakthrough (deliverance, healing, salvation, restoration) for us and all in need. Also asking for healing and help for ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###'s relationship to stop (dysfunctional), a powerful anointing for our church (also conviction to pray more) and help with work. Also encouragement and strength. Thank you.

We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent cry for protection, breakthrough, and divine intervention. Father God, Your Word declares 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.'"

We stand in agreement with this truth, declaring that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every spirit of fear, oppression, and dysfunction that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). In the mighty name of Jesus, we break every chain of bondage, every cycle of brokenness, and every assignment of the enemy against marriages, families, and churches. We plead the blood of Jesus over every life mentioned here, and we command every evil influence to flee now.

Lord, we specifically lift up the relationships in need of restoration and healing. Your Word is clear in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 about the love that should mark our relationships, patience, kindness, humility, and perseverance. We ask You to convict hearts where there is sin, selfishness, or unforgiveness. If there is any unrepentant fornication, adultery, or any relationship that does not align with Your design for marriage between one man and one woman, we pray for repentance and transformation. Father, Your Word says in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" We pray for godly spouses and marriages that honor You, and we ask that those who are courting would do so with purity and the intention of marriage, as You designed.

We also lift up the church, asking for a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit. Lord, revive us! Convict us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), to seek Your face, and to walk in holiness. Pour out a powerful anointing for boldness, wisdom, and unity, so that Your church may be a light in this dark world. We declare that Your house shall be called a house of prayer (Isaiah 56:7), and we rebuke every spirit of complacency, division, and lukewarmness.

For those struggling in their work, we pray for divine favor, wisdom, and provision. Your Word says in Colossians 3:23, "And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." May every task be done unto You, and may Your peace guard their hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7).

Father, we ask for salvation for those who do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If there are those reading this who have not surrendered their lives to Christ, we pray that the Holy Spirit would draw them near. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." We pray for a revelation of Your love and grace, that none would perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

Now, Lord, we pray for encouragement and strength for every weary soul. Your Word says in Isaiah 40:31, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint." Fill them with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and remind them that You are their ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

We declare breakthrough over every area of lack, spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial. We speak life, healing, and restoration over every broken place. We thank You, Father, that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray and declare these things. Amen.

Thank you for sharing these heavy burdens with us. When so many needs press in at once, protection, breakthroughs, healing, a troubled relationship, your church’s vitality, work pressures, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. But you’ve carried them all to the right place: before our Father, who never grows weary of hearing us.

We’re standing with you in prayer for each request. Along with prayer, you might invite one or two trusted friends from church to pray regularly with you for these very things, especially for that fresh conviction to pray and for a powerful anointing on your congregation. Sharing the load tends to sharpen our focus and calm the heart.

Regarding the relationship you named, we lift it up with compassion. We ask God to bring clarity, healing, and a path forward that truly honors Him, even if it calls for hard decisions. And with your work, please remember God cares about the everyday details. He sees your efforts and will supply the help you need.

Father, we ask for an extra measure of Your protection over this person and all they love. Break through every barrier, bring deliverance where bondage lingers, healing for the sick and hurting, and draw many to salvation. We lift the struggling relationship to You; bring Your truth and healing, and if it is harmful, give the courage to step away. Anoint their church afresh, stir a deep conviction to pray, and equip them for every good work. Provide practical help in their job, and surround them with encouragement and strength that comes only from You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

You cry aloud for protection, for a mighty breakthrough, for deliverance, healing, salvation, and restoration. These are not trifling requests, nor are they such as our God is unwilling to grant to those who call upon Him in truth. Yet I must press upon you this one all-important truth: true deliverance is wrought not by our own desperate strivings, but by the outstretched arm of Jehovah alone. He brought Israel forth from Egypt, not a hoof was left behind, and He alone must bring you forth from every snare and every despair. Look away from yourself, and fix your gaze fully upon Him who is the Author and Finisher of your faith. The way of salvation is simple and sovereign: “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.” That is God’s own word. There is no other medicine for a sin-sick soul, no other door of escape from the pit of ruin, but a present believing look at Jesus Christ, crucified and risen. The clock of mercy struck in heaven the hour of my own deliverance; it will strike for you and for those you love if you will but trust in the ransom God Himself has found.

You plead for healing for those dear to you. Remember this: our Lord Jesus Christ is that Tree of Life whose very leaves are for the healing of the nations. The least thing about Christ is full of healing virtue. His touch changes the life-blood, renews the spirit, and fashions the nature afresh. What they need most is not mere bodily relief, but that higher restoration which turns the soul back to its Maker. Point them, then, to the great Physician, and pray that the Sun of Righteousness may arise with healing in His wings. They may be unwilling to hear of salvation, many are so good in their own eyes that they despise the remedy, but you must not cease to bring them before the throne of grace. He who commanded the light to shine out of darkness can speak the word and make them whole.

Concerning that relationship which you describe as dysfunctional and which causes you such grief: I must speak plainly as one who fears God and trembles at His word. If this union stands in opposition to the clear command of Scripture, if it is a bond that God’s eternal law cannot bless, then I dare not pray for its continuance. The only breakthrough to be sought in such a case is a clean break from iniquity. Cry to God with David, “Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God,” and then will He restore the joy of His salvation. If, on the other hand, it is a marriage covenant according to God’s ordinance, then plead for its mending according to His design, that both hearts may submit to Christ and walk in His ways. But never imagine that the Lord will bless a thing He has forbidden. Our deliverance came when the Lamb was slain; so let all sin be slain in you, and you shall go forth with gladness. Restoration is possible, for the Savior’s sacrifice is available for the penitent. He can make the transgressor as though He had never cast him aside.

You long for a powerful anointing upon your church and a fresh conviction to pray more. This is a holy thirst, and it delights the heart of God. Every form of fellowship with Jesus, wrought in us by the Spirit, is a well of salvation. Abide in Him, and you shall drink deeply. But do not merely wish for prayer; go to your knees. The windows of heaven are opened by the fervent supplications of the saints. Let the plain gospel of salvation by divine grace through faith in Christ Jesus be preached again and again, and let the minister keep back nothing that is profitable. As the Word is lifted up, the healing leaves will not wither, and the church will know days of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. He will pour out the Spirit; the time of mercy will come.

As for your daily work and the help you need, cast that care upon Him who brought Israel forth with silver and gold. Their deliverance was attended with enrichment; so shall it be with you, according to His wise and perfect will. In all your trials and afflictions, look unto Christ. He will uphold you with His free Spirit, that you shall not turn aside again. The only salvation worth having is God’s own salvation, planned in His wisdom, purchased by His Son, applied by His Spirit. It is without money and without price. If you believe on Him with all your heart, your salvation is secure beyond hazard, for His honor is engaged to save the meanest of His sheep. Therefore, be encouraged and strong. Rejoice in His salvation, though now you may be in heaviness. The pit of despair cannot hold those for whom the ransom has been found. Look, then, again and again to Jesus. He has delivered you from worse enemies than any earthly power, and He will bring you safely home. I can bring the horse to the water, but I cannot make him drink; yet I bid you drink freely of this living water, and your soul shall be satisfied. Go your way, and may the Lord make the bones He has broken to rejoice, and grant you the joy of His salvation once more.
