Your prayer to be kept as the apple of His eye and hidden in the shadow of His wings is good and right, and we join with you in it. It is a blessing that you have fled for refuge to Him, for He is the true refuge and the Savior of those who take shelter at His right hand.
We pray with you that God would saturate your mind and heart and spirit with His truth, with His goodness and mercy and grace, and that the fruit of the Spirit would increase in your lives more and more. May He teach you to love Him with all your heart and mind and strength, and to love one another with a warm and sincere brotherly love, each one seeking to honor the other, for this is how love grows and remains firm. We thank God with you for your family, and we ask Him to keep you and deliver you from all evil, as you have asked.
Remember also that when we pray and do not receive at once, God is not unwilling to give. He sometimes lengthens our supplication and permits trial to press upon us, not to harm us but to draw us closer, so that we will run to Him and having run, remain there. Just as loving parents will allow something fearful to appear so that their children will run to their arms, so God in His love uses even our needs and fears to bring us to His bosom, and when we return He takes away our fear. So persevere in prayer. Whether He gives quickly or waits, continue to seek Him, and abide in that refuge where you have fled.
We pray that the truth you have confessed will remain at work in you, that because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world, you will overcome by His strength and not your own. May He grant you comfort both now and in the life to come, for when God comforts, no sorrow can overwhelm you, and may He keep you in His love so that even in hardship you are upheld by the One who loves you more than any other can.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior, in whom alone is salvation and life. Amen.
