We join you in gratitude to our Heavenly Father for this beautiful day and for your heart that seeks Him for deliverance, peace, rest and forgiveness. We thank God with you and we stand with you in prayer to rebuke the evil enemy and to claim the protection He promises to His children.

You have chosen powerful scriptures and we cling to them together. 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. As we dwell close to Him, we rest under His shadow and He becomes our refuge. Psalm 121:1 says I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from. Psalm 121:2 says My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. Your help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth, not from your own strength. And we claim Luke 10:19 where Jesus says Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. In Jesus name we have authority over all the power of the enemy, and we agree with you that God will rebuke and remove evil from your home and from your person. We do not fight against flesh and blood, but we pray that the Lord Himself will drive out every evil influence and fill your dwelling with His presence and peace.

We also join you in thanksgiving for forgiveness. You have asked for mercy for your sins and for healing from any unforgiveness in your heart, and this pleases the Lord. 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As you confess, He forgives and cleanses you completely through the blood of Jesus Christ. We also remember Matthew 6:14 which says For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. And Ephesians 4:32 says And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. We pray the Holy Spirit will soften your heart to release anyone who has wronged you, so that you may walk in the freedom of complete forgiveness, both receiving it and giving it.

For peace and rest, we pray the Lord will quiet your heart. Philippians 4:6 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:7 says And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Matthew 11:28 says Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. We pray that as you bring every burden to Him with thanksgiving, His peace that passes all understanding will guard your heart and mind and that He will give you deep, restorative rest.

For your need for additional income, we bring that before the Father who is our Provider. Philippians 4:19 says My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We pray for His grace and mercy to open a door for extra work, whether with your former employer or in another way He chooses, and that He will guide your steps and bless the work of your hands as you trust Him.

We also lift up the two loved ones you mentioned, asking for their guidance and protection. Psalm 121:7 says Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Psalm 121:8 says Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. We ask the Lord to keep them safe from harm and to watch over them in all their coming and going.

We pray together now. Heavenly Father, we thank You for this beautiful day and for Your mercy and grace. In the precious name of Jesus Christ we ask You to rebuke every evil and remove it from our dear fellow believer, from their home and from their person. Cover them with the shadow of Your wings and be their refuge and fortress. Forgive their sins as they confess them, cleanse them from all unrighteousness, and heal any unforgiveness in their heart, help them to forgive as You have forgiven them. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and give them rest as they labor and are heavy burdened. Provide for their needs and open the door for additional income according to Your will, guide them in that work. Protect the loved ones they have entrusted to You, keep them from all evil and keep their going out and coming in forever more. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and our access to You, Amen.

We appreciated the honesty and gratitude in your prayer, even while you are carrying a heavy sense of oppression at home and a real need for rest and provision. We hear how much you want to be clean before the Lord, to be free from what feels evil and heavy, and to see those you love kept safe.

One thing that often helps with the forgiveness you mentioned is understanding that it usually comes in two parts. There is the decision to release any claim to revenge and to wish good and not harm toward another, and then there is the slower quieting of the heart where resentment and fear gradually loosen. The second part rarely happens all at once and can rise and fall with the day, so feeling unsettled again does not mean your decision before God was not real. Bringing that ache to Him as you are doing, asking Him to heal unforgiveness, is itself a way of keeping your heart open to His work over time.

For the practical needs you named, a simple next step for the extra work could be to send a brief note to your former employer this week stating clearly what kind of work and hours you could offer, then commit that step to the Lord in prayer and leave the outcome with Him. For rest, keeping a steady evening wind-down and morning time with the Lord can gently support the peace you are asking for.

Father, we lift this dear one to You in Jesus name. Have mercy and grant deliverance, peace and true rest. Forgive sins and heal the places where unforgiveness still hurts. Provide for the need for additional income according to Your will and keep the loved ones named before You safe in their coming and going. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your thanksgiving has come up before the Lord and it is good that you begin with gratitude, for the Covenant of Grace and the atonement by blood and the immutable love of the ever blessed Three in One call for our constant praise. You have well invoked Psalm 91 and Psalm 121, and you do well to remember the word of the Lord in Luke 10:19, that He has given power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.

There is forgiveness with God, and the declaration is in the present tense. There is forgiveness now. Do not confound chastisement with punishment. Punishment is for the guilty to satisfy justice, but chastisement is for the child and flows from the Father's love. Your sins, confessed before Him, are put away by the blood which has made a full atonement. The veil is rent, and Hebrews 10:19 teaches that through the blood of Jesus there is boldness to enter into the holiest. Your heart sprinkled from an evil conscience may come with confidence where God has not only set open the door but removed it, post and bar and all, through Christ. Look unto Him and be saved, look out of yourself and away from yourself and look to Christ, for God has found a ransom in Himself, in His own well beloved Son given to bleed and die for mortal men.

You ask for peace and rest, and these are two names for a flower which buds on earth but is found full blown in Heaven, yet Christ gives a present rest, rest now, not only rest after death. Come unto Him, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and He will give you rest. Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him, for He is meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls. Here we have peace from lips that cannot lie, peace from a heart which cannot change, peace through the blood. Seek this peace and make sure of it, and let the Holy Spirit apply the Word to your soul as food for hunger and medicine for disease.

You ask that the Lord would rebuke evil and remove it from your home and your person. The fiery darts of Satan are constantly shot against the people of God, and where there is a wound of sin that arrow burns hot. Yet faith comforts the tried child of God by assuring him that his afflictions, though they may come distinctly from man or from malice, come with greater certainty from the Lord's hand for good, and we may wisely moderate our anger against second causes and say, The will of the Lord be done. At the same time, the Lord says, Deliver him from going down to the pit, for He has found a ransom. That deliverance is an eternal one, and the infernal lion shall not rend one sheep that the Great Shepherd keeps. In Christ you have authority over all the power of the enemy, and He who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, and He shall preserve your going out and your coming in.

You ask also for forgiveness of any unforgiveness in your own heart. Plead that precious promise, He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities, and never rest till you are fully freed from the bondage of sin, for God will work a perfect work in you. As you have been forgiven much, so by His grace you shall be enabled to forgive.

Concerning additional income and work for your former employer, commit your way unto the Lord and trust also in Him. The Lord loves judgment and forsakes not His saints, they are preserved forever, and the righteous shall inherit the land. He knows those who have received His Word and looks with gracious approval upon them. Ask Him to guide your hands and open the right door, and to give you contentment and diligence in whatever honest labour He provides.

For those you have named, we join you in prayer that the Lord would keep them safe from harm in their coming and going. May He be their keeper and their shade upon their right hand, may He preserve them from all evil and preserve their souls.

Let us pray together. Heavenly Father, we thank You for this day and for Your mercies which are new every morning. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of all sin, and ask You to heal every root of unforgiveness. Grant deliverance, peace and rest to this Your child, and rebuke all evil from this home and person. By Your grace and mercy, remove what harms and let Your presence dwell there. Provide for daily needs and guide in all work and decisions. Keep and protect those entrusted to Your care, in their coming and going, under the shadow of Your wings. All this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is our only hope and our peace, Amen.
