Your request for extra strong protection and breakthrough for yourselves and for all in need has been laid before the Lord, and we have joined you in prayer.
There is sweet comfort for such a petition in the truth that knowledge of God is a divine armor by which we are able to ward off all the blows of the enemy. The divine buckler which God has provided for His people against every fiery dart is this, that He never has forsaken them that fear Him, and moreover He never will do so. They that know His name will put their trust in Him, for the Lord has not forsaken those who seek Him.
When we are led out of any Egypt of sorrow or strait, our deliverance is by divine power. It is Jehovah who brings forth His people, and He makes their deliverance effectual. That deliverance came when the Lamb was slain, for God has found a ransom and through that ransom sinners are delivered from the pit. It is not by our strength but of free grace only, and even our trials lie within the fence of omnipotent overruling and divine permission.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come through Jesus Christ Thy Son, our only salvation and hope. We ask Thee to spread Thy divine protection over these who have sought Thee, and over all who are in need. Cover them as with a shield, keep them from the power of darkness, and deliver them from every evil that would assail soul or body. Grant a breakthrough according to Thy perfect will, not as we will but as Thou wilt, and translate all Thy needy ones more fully into the kingdom of Thy dear Son. Keep their faith alive that they may sit upon the Rock of Ages above the waves, and teach them to trust not in themselves but in Thee who has promised never to forsake Thy people. May any deliverance Thou art pleased to give lead them to live and to declare the works of the Lord, giving all honor to Thy free grace.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who has delivered us from worse enemies and saved us by a greater salvation. Amen.
