We join with you in asking for extra strong protection and breakthrough for you and for all in need, and we lift up before the Lord the two specific intentions that were redacted for privacy, trusting that He knows each one fully.
We are reminded that our protection does not come from our own strength but from abiding in Him. Psalm 91:1 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:2 says I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. We cling to this promise and we put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, Ephesians 6:11. We take comfort also in 2 Thessalonians 3:3, But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one, and in Isaiah 41:10, Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
For breakthrough we look to God who breaks through for His people. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters, 1 Chronicles 14:11, and we know that He who breaks open the way goes up before them, Micah 2:13. We also hold to Psalm 34:17, The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. We encourage you to keep crying out to Him, to remain in prayer and in His Word, to walk in obedience and trust, for breakthrough comes in His perfect time and way.
We also want to gently share with you that we noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6. 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, Acts 4:12. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved, Romans 10:9. It is in His name that we pray with confidence, knowing He intercedes for us.
So together we pray, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We ask for Your extra strong protection to surround us and all who are in need. Cover us with Your wings, guard us from the evil one, from harm, from fear, from every scheme of the enemy. Establish our steps and keep us in Your peace. We ask for breakthrough in every area where we feel stuck or oppressed, and especially for the two needs lifted up here that You know intimately. Break through like waters, open the way before us, deliver us from all our troubles according to Your perfect will. Strengthen our faith while we wait, help us to dwell in Your secret place and to trust You more. We pray this for ourselves and for all in need who are crying out to You. We ask that many would come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior and find refuge in Him. We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our refuge, our fortress, and our breakthrough, Amen.
