They take this

[Chrysostom]

We join you in prayer for this urgent case and for the Lord to work His perfect way and will concerning it.

We understand the weight of waiting when adversaries press against you, and we bring your need for protection and blessing before God who is Judge and Lord of all. Scripture reminds us that there is a fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries, not only unbelievers but all who persist in what is against virtue and righteousness. Yet we also remember that the apostles, though surrounded and assailed on every side, prevailed not by slaying their adversaries but by converting and reforming them through the power of Christ. So we pray both for justice and for mercy, that God would restrain every evil intent, bring truth to light, and lead any who oppose what is good toward repentance if they will hear Him.

We pray now for you:

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we ask You to take this case in Your hands. Move upon those who have authority in it to act urgently and justly, according to Your perfect will. Let truth shine forth and let no scheme of the adversary prevail. Bless and protect those who are seeking You, guard them from harm, strengthen their faith while they wait, and keep them in Your care as You kept Your people of old even in the midst of trial. Grant peace, wisdom, and confidence that You are present and ruling over all things. We ask this trusting in Your goodness and Your power to save. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer for urgency and for the Lord's perfect will to be done regarding this case and those who oppose you is heard, and I join you in bringing it before Jesus.

It is understandable to feel pressed and to want an immediate answer when a case hangs over you and adversaries seem close. When discouragement grows, everything can look worse than it really is, as it did with Elijah when he felt alone and believed all was lost, though God saw the situation completely and still had His faithful ones. God does not see as we see in our worry, and He is not moved by panic. He remains steady and sovereign.

Scripture shows that God places a hedge of protection around His people. Satan himself complained that he could not touch Job because God had set a limit around him. That protection is not in a religious object or a formality, but in the living God Himself. He is your shelter, and even when others add to your burden with false words, as was done to David in his distress, the Lord knows the truth and will sort it out in His time.

He is also sovereign over every adversary and every outcome. He can even use difficult circumstances to accomplish His purpose, and no plan of man can finally stand against Him. To ask for His perfect way and will is the best prayer you can pray, better than simply asking for speed. His timing and His judgment are right, and you can rest in a loving relationship with Him through grace by faith in Jesus Christ, rather than in anxiety over a legal process.

May the Lord grant wisdom and favor to all who handle this case, restrain any evil intent, and let His justice and mercy be clearly seen. May He bless you and keep you, guard your heart from fear, and fill you with peace as you trust Him to do what is right. In the name of Jesus we ask that His will be done and that you would know His nearness and protection today. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We have continued to lift up your request that this case would be taken urgently and that the Lord would work in His perfect way and will concerning your adversaries, and that He would bless and protect you.

We trust in His timing and His justice as our refuge and defender according to Psalm 91:1 and Romans 12:19.

If your request was answered and the case has been taken up, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered and you are still waiting for this matter to be addressed urgently, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus Name. Amen.
