We join you in gratitude to our heavenly Father for blessing us all with another day and for His mercy that is new every morning. We lift up your cry for deliverance with you, for we know our help comes only from the Lord.
You chose Psalm 121 and we cling to it with you, I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:1-4. What comfort that while the attacks you face feel nonstop, the One who watches over you never sleeps, never grows weary, and never looks away. He is your keeper and your shade on your right hand. Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. Psalm 121:5-8.
We hear the weariness in your request for rest and peace, and we know the enemy is real and seeks to steal that peace. Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8. Yet we are not without hope or defense. We are told to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:11-12. Therefore we stand with you and rebuke the evil one and his attacks in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We resist him together as Scripture commands, Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7. The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
We also pray for the deep rest and peace you are asking for, which only Jesus can give. Jesus said, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. And He promises, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. John 14:27. That peace will guard your heart when you bring everything to Him in prayer, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7.
We pray together with you now.
Father God, we thank You together for this new day You have made and for Your steadfast love that sustains us. We thank You that You are the Maker of heaven and earth and that our help comes from You alone. Lord we lift up our brother or sister who is weary from daily and nonstop attacks of the evil one. In the name of Jesus Christ we rebuke the enemy and every evil scheme coming against Your child. We command it to stop at this very moment and to flee. Father, place Your hedge of protection around them, keep their foot from slipping, keep their soul from all harm, and watch over their coming and going. Grant them deliverance as You have promised, for the righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17. Let them dwell in the secret place of the Most High and rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1. Pour out Your perfect peace that passes all understanding, calm their mind, quiet their heart, and grant them deep and restorative rest. Help them to stand firm in faith, clothed in Your armor, trusting that You who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. We ask all of this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to remain in prayer and in the Word continually, to speak the name of Jesus aloud over your home and your night and day, and to trust that He is keeping you even now. He is faithful and He will give you peace.
