We join with you in lifting up this urgent plea before the throne of grace, knowing that our Heavenly Father hears the cries of His children and acts on behalf of those who call upon Him in truth. Your heart for provision, protection, and the advancement of God’s Kingdom through your ministry is evident, and we stand with you in faith, declaring that the Lord will fight for you as you remain steadfast in Him.
The scriptures remind us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Yet, we are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us (Romans 8:37). You have rightly claimed Isaiah 41:11-12, where the Lord declares, *"Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish. You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a non-existent thing."* This is the promise of God over your life, your family, your ministry, and your business. The enemies of the Lord will be scattered, and His purposes will prevail.
For your business and provision, we are reminded of Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* The Lord is your shepherd, and you shall not want (Psalm 23:1). He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and He delights in providing for His children as they seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). We pray that the Lord will open doors no man can shut, bringing divine connections, favor, and wisdom for your business to thrive. May He expose and frustrate every scheme of the enemy that seeks to hinder your prosperity, for it is the Lord who gives the power to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
Regarding the opposition to the newly built church, we declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the work of God (Matthew 16:18). The Lord’s desire is for all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4), and He will not allow the plans of the wicked to thwart His redemptive purposes. We pray that those who hinder this work will either be removed or have their hearts turned to Christ, that they may become allies rather than adversaries. May the Lord grant you boldness and wisdom as you navigate these challenges, remembering that if God is for you, who can be against you? (Romans 8:31).
We also encourage you to remain in a posture of worship and trust, even in the midst of the storm. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Do not allow fear or discouragement to take root, for the Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and continue to walk in obedience, knowing that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your faithfulness and for the promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who cries out to You for divine intervention, protection, and provision. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we ask that You open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings upon their business and ministry. Grant them favor with clients, customers, and partners. Frustrate the plans of the enemy that seek to steal, kill, and destroy, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we pray for supernatural protection over their family, children, and ministry. Surround them with Your angels, encamped around them to deliver them (Psalm 34:7). Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every evil plan be exposed and rendered powerless. We declare that the blood of Jesus covers them, and no harm shall come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10).
For the newly built church, Father, we ask that You remove every obstacle and open the doors wide for souls to be saved. Let the light of the Gospel shine brightly in that place, drawing many to repentance and faith in Christ. Soften the hearts of those who oppose this work, and if it is Your will, save them and use them for Your glory. Let this church be a beacon of hope and a place of refuge for the lost and broken.
We also pray for peace and joy to flood their hearts, knowing that You are in control. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, granting them wisdom, discernment, and strength for each day. Let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them, and they need only to be still (Exodus 14:14).
Father, we ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We give You all the glory, honor, and praise, for You alone are worthy. Amen.
