Warfare

[Wiesin]

Dear God, I humbly ask for your protection, vengeance and guidance all this year ###. I call upon my guardian angel, my protector, to be with me, to watch over me, and to shield me from harm. May your angel guide my steps, illuminate my path, and bring peace to my heart by scattering all foes fighting&that have plotted against me destroying all my belongings and activities. I trust in your divine care and the power of your angels ###. Amen.(Psalms91:11-12, Matthew26:53, Hebrews12:22-23, Daniel9:21, Revelation12:7-11)

We hear your cry for protection and guidance, and we stand with you in spiritual warfare, knowing that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, 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 6:12). While we acknowledge the reality of spiritual opposition, we must first address some concerns in your prayer that do not align with biblical truth.

First, we must clarify that we do not pray to or invoke angels, guardian or otherwise. Scripture is clear that worship, prayer, and direct appeals belong to God alone. Jesus taught us to pray to the Father in His name (John 14:13-14), and there is no biblical precedent for summoning angels. In fact, when the apostle John attempted to worship an angel in Revelation 19:10 and 22:8-9, the angel rebuked him sharply, saying, "See you don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." Angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14), but they are not our protectors in the way you’ve described. Our protector is the Lord Himself, who is a refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust (Psalm 91:2).

Second, while we understand your desire for justice and even vengeance against those who have wronged you, we must caution against praying for personal vengeance. The Lord declares, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19). Instead of calling for the destruction of your foes, we are called to bless those who persecute us, to bless and not curse (Romans 12:14). This does not mean we ignore injustice, but we trust God to execute justice in His perfect timing and way. Our role is to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).

We also notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. This is a critical oversight, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and the authority to stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 2:18, 6:11). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Salvation is found in no one else.

Now, let us stand together in prayer, lifting your situation to the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your divine protection to surround them like a shield. Guard their heart, mind, and steps, Lord, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that no evil shall befall them, nor shall any plague come near their dwelling, for You have given Your angels charge over them to keep them in all their ways (Psalm 91:10-11).

Father, we ask that You expose and dismantle every scheme of the enemy that has been plotted against them. Let Your light shine into the darkness, and let every plan of the evil one be brought to nothing. We trust in Your justice, Lord, and we ask that You would work all things together for their good, as they love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Help them to release any bitterness, anger, or desire for vengeance into Your hands, knowing that You will repay.

Lord, we pray for Your guidance and wisdom to illuminate their path. Direct their steps according to Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over them (Psalm 119:133). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen them in their inner being, that Christ may dwell in their heart through faith, and that they may be rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:16-17).

We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and oppression in the name of Jesus. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37). Let Your presence go before them and behind them, and let Your hand of favor rest upon them. Restore what the locust has eaten, Lord, and let them see Your goodness in the land of the living (Joel 2:25, Psalm 27:13).

We pray all these things in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

We encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily so that you may stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray always in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication, and watch with all perseverance (Ephesians 6:13-18).

Remember, the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Stand firm in your faith, resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). You are not alone in this battle, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9).

We hear how heavy it feels to live under a sense of constant opposition, the dread that others are plotting against you and that your belongings and livelihood are under threat. That kind of pressure can wear down the strongest soul, and we don’t take it lightly. You’re asking for protection, for guidance, and for God to scatter those who intend harm. We are standing with you in that cry.

When life feels like a battlefield, one of the most grounding things we can do is refuse to fight alone. We’d encourage you to share this burden with at least one trusted, mature believer in your life, someone who will pray with you in person and remind you of the truth when fear tries to write the story. Sometimes the enemy’s loudest tactic is isolation, so letting someone else in is itself an act of resistance. Together, you can commit this year into God’s hands, not just in a single prayer, but as a regular rhythm of surrender.

It’s also okay to name the anger and the longing for vindication. God is not afraid of your honest feelings. In the Psalms, we see over and over that the path toward peace often starts with pouring out the raw desire for justice, then letting God be the one to set things right. We can rest knowing He sees every hidden action and that nothing escapes His notice, even when it feels like we’re being trampled.

Would you let us be part of that circle of support? We’re praying now for a tangible sense of His shielding presence around you, for wisdom in every step you take, and for a settled calm to hold you steady.

Jesus, we ask You to surround this person with Your protection. Guard their mind, their home, and their work. Quiet the fear that whispers they are alone. Bring them allies who will stand with them, and guide them by Your Spirit into the places of safety and fruitfulness You have prepared. In Your strong name we pray, amen.

[Spurgeon]

The cry of your heart for protection is not unheard, but consider well the way wherein you seek it. Angelic keeping is promised only to those who journey in the appointed paths of the Most High; it is in the way of childlike trust in Providential guidance that such protection is afforded. You call upon your guardian angel, yet the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them, they are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation. Look not first to the servant, but to the Master who sends him. Our safety lies in our Savior, God our Savior, who is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory.

As for vengeance, does that word grate upon your ears? Vengeance is the Lord’s, and He will repay. The day of vengeance of our God was fulfilled when all the waves and billows of divine wrath passed over the innocent head of our Lord Jesus at Golgotha. If that day took place when our Lord died, then for all who are in Him it is finished. For His enemies, a great and dreadful day yet cometh. Therefore, fret not thyself because of evildoers; commit thy cause to Him who judgeth righteously. The high tree, cut down by the axe of judgment, shall lie outstretched along the plains of ruin; the dry tree, by divine grace, shall flourish.

Your foes have plotted against thy belongings and activities, but haste is the author of much mischief. Wait for divine guidance; it is far better to stand still than to run in the wrong road. Bow with submission to the will of God, by that very fact thou art furnished with unerring guidance. Yield thyself cheerfully to the processes of His grace, even if He must grind thee very small. The Lord is on the side of those who trust Him; sin is strong, but grace is stronger. Satan is wise, but God is all-wise.

Remember, the door to true angelic life is at Christ’s cross. Angels desire to look into these things, the mystery of substitutionary sacrifice, and they gaze with wonder. Go thou likewise and gaze with repentance, for it is there that safety is found and the true guard of thy soul is secured for time and eternity.

[Chrysostom]

You ask for vengeance, and this is a prayer that cannot be heard. The Lord Himself forbids it. We are commanded to pray for our enemies, not to call down wrath upon their heads. The desire for redress against those who have wronged you is a natural passion, but it is a snare. Do not ask God to be the servant of your anger. Vengeance belongs to Him, and He will recompense in His own time. It is not the one who suffers the wrong who is truly harmed, but the one who commits it. Your groaning should be for their souls, not for their destruction. To seek their ruin is to ask for a thing inexpedient, a thing that bars your own prayer from heaven. If you harbor unrepented bitterness and seek their harm, you ask mercy while clinging to sin, and this is impossible to receive.

And why do you call out to your guardian angel as if to a protector in whom you place your confidence? This is a grave error. The angels were once our enemies, arrayed to take vengeance against the wickedness of men. It was God Himself who reconciled us to them through Christ. Would you run to a servant as though he were the master? The angel who guides and guards does so at the sole command of the Lord, not by his own power. His protection is not yours to command by a formula of words. You cite the scripture rightly, that He shall give His angels charge over you, but you miss the whole point. The promise belongs to those who make the Most High their dwelling, not to those who seek the angel apart from the sovereign God. The angel is a ministering spirit, not a mediator. When the Magi were guided by a star, what happened? The star, an instrument of God’s power, led them. God Himself arranged that His own enemies, the Jewish leaders, would unwittingly give the testimony of prophecy. Then an angel instructed them, but only after the star had done its work. The guidance was God’s from beginning to end. Do not mistake the servant for the Lord. The angel will guard you, yes, but you must not set your hope on him. Set your hope on the God who sends him. For He has said, the affliction was in all their affliction, and the angel of His presence saved them; yet this was God’s own work, His own direct care, in His love and in His pity He redeemed them.

Cast aside, then, this prayer for vengeance. Confess the bitterness in your heart as the sin it truly is. And turn your eyes from the angels to the Lord of the angels, who alone is your stronghold. Pray for those who plot against you, for this is the angelic rule of life, to bless and not to curse. Entrust yourself to the God who lives forever, who permitted for a time that His own enemies rage, that their very malice might become His footstool. Your protection is not in commanding the heavenly host, but in hiding yourself under the shadow of His wings, like a chick beneath the hen, held fast by a warmth and care that no foe can breach. This is the path of peace.
