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 come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, recognizing the spiritual battle you are facing. While we understand your desire for protection and justice, we must first address some concerns in your prayer that do not align with biblical principles.

You called upon your guardian angel for protection and guidance, but Scripture is clear that our help comes from the Lord alone. Psalm 121:2 declares, "My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth." While angels are ministering spirits (Hebrews 1:14), we are never instructed to pray to them or seek their intervention directly. Our prayers must be directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23).

We also notice that your prayer did not mention the name of Jesus, which is essential for accessing the Father. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me" (John 14:6). Without Jesus as our mediator, our prayers cannot reach the throne of God.

Regarding spiritual warfare, we stand with you against the schemes of the enemy. The battle belongs to the Lord (1 Samuel 17:47), and we are called to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). We must remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Vengeance belongs to God alone (Romans 12:19), and we are to trust Him to execute justice in His perfect timing.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is facing spiritual warfare and ask for Your divine protection to surround them. Lord, You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust (Psalm 91:2). We ask that You would dispatch Your holy angels to encamp around them, guarding them in all their ways (Psalm 91:11).

Father, we rebuke every evil plot and scheme of the enemy that has been devised against them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, scatter their foes and let Your light expose and dispel every darkness. We ask for Your guidance and wisdom to illuminate their path, that they may walk in Your truth and righteousness.

We pray for peace to fill their heart, knowing that You are in control. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Strengthen their faith and trust in You, reminding them that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

Father, we ask for restoration of all that has been lost or damaged. You are the God who provides and restores, and we trust in Your abundant mercy and grace. May they experience Your healing touch in every area of their life.

Lord, we also pray for a deeper revelation of Jesus Christ in their life. May they come to know Him more intimately as their Savior, Lord, and Protector. Help them to understand the power of praying in His name and the access they have to You through Him.

We stand on Your promises, O God, and declare that no evil shall befall them, nor any plague come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10). We thank You for Your faithfulness and love, and we trust in Your perfect will for their life.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to immerse yourself in God's Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Spend time in prayer and worship, drawing near to God so that He may draw near to you (James 4:8). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and pray with you. Remember, the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10).

Put on the full armor of God daily:
- The belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14)
- The breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14)
- The shoes of the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15)
- The shield of faith (Ephesians 6:16)
- The helmet of salvation (Ephesians 6:17)
- The sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17)

Pray always in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication (Ephesians 6:18). Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the victory has already been won through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We hear how much you are longing for safety and peace this year, and how heavy it feels to sense opposition around your home, belongings and daily life. Wanting protection and clear guidance in that kind of season is completely understandable.

We want you to know you are not carrying this alone. We believe God hears you when you call on Him and that He is the one who watches over you and keeps you. When fear is loud it can help to have a few steady anchors and people beside you.

One simple step that often brings steadiness is to let one trusted pastor or mature believer know what you have been experiencing, so someone who knows you can pray with you regularly and help you think through next steps with wisdom. Even small rhythms like regular rest, honest prayer directly to God, and staying connected in community can help when thoughts feel scattered and the days feel long.

We are lifting you before the Lord now.

Father, we bring our friend to You in the name of Jesus. We ask for Your protection over their life and home, for Your peace to calm their heart when fear rises, and for Your wisdom to guide each step this year. Surround them with supportive people, give them rest and clarity, and draw them close to You day by day. We trust them into Your caring hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your heartfelt cry for protection and guidance this year has been heard, and we bring it before the Lord with you.

We understand the distress of feeling beset by foes and of seeing your belongings and daily activities threatened and destroyed. It is right to seek the Lord as your shield and keeper, for there is no attribute more comforting to His children than His divine sovereignty, and we ought to recognize God's hand in everything, trusting that He who rules over all is able to keep you.

At the same time we would gently guide you in the way of Scripture concerning the angels of whom you speak. The Word does indeed say, He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways, and we read that Christ could have prayed to His Father and He would have given Him more than twelve legions of angels, and that angels are ministering spirits and a part of that heavenly assembly to which we have come. Yet Scripture never teaches us to call upon or pray to a guardian angel. Angels are the servants of God, not the hearers of prayer. Our access is through Jesus Christ alone, the one Mediator, and it is to the Father in His name that we pray, and He in His divine wisdom commands His angels concerning His people. So we would turn your prayer from an angel to the Lord of angels Himself, who alone can illuminate your path and bring peace to your heart.

You have asked also for vengeance and for the scattering of foes. Hear what the Word teaches of vengeance. The day of vengeance is in the heart of God, and there is indeed appointed a day of vengeance for all the enemies of Christ. But for the believer, that vengeance has already been displayed in a wondrous way, for all the waves and billows of divine wrath went over the innocent head of our Substitute in Gethsemane and at Calvary. There the Lamb of God was bruised with collected might, that the year of the redeemed might come. If the day of vengeance took place when our Lord died, then for those who are in Him it is over, and what remains is the year of acceptance. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and we are to leave it in His hands, not seeking personal retribution but trusting His perfect justice and His perfect timing. At times He delivers by touching the hearts of enemies so that those who were unkind become generous, at other times He puts confusion upon the wicked as He did with Haman when he plotted the destruction of His people. In either case, divine interpositions come in the way of deliverance from floods of trouble, and He will preserve His own.

You have asked for guidance, and this is a gracious desire which the Lord loves to fulfill. The Psalmist said, Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. That guidance comes not by sudden whispers apart from the Word, but by a work of grace upon the heart which makes us willing to be guided, by great principles infused within us to avoid everything that is evil, and by a humble acquiescence in the divine will, bowing with submission to what God ordains. Divine wisdom, dressed in robes of love and tenderness, invites us to run into her arms, and haste is the author of much mischief, so we learn to wait upon the Lord and follow His counsel step by step.

Therefore we pray for you not to an angel, but to the living God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O Lord our God, Thou who art our Guide and our Protector, we ask Thee to keep this soul who trusts in Thee. Give Thy angels charge over him according to Thy sovereign will, but let his trust rest in Christ alone who shed His blood for sinners. Cover him under Thy wings, preserve him from harm, restrain those who plot evil against him, and in Thy time and in Thy righteous way bring justice where there has been destruction. Scatter the works of darkness, not for our pride but for Thy glory, and grant that even enemies may be brought to repentance if it be Thy will. Guide his steps by Thy counsel through Thy Word, infuse his heart with love for what is holy, give him submission to Thy will, and illuminate his path with Thy presence, for the divine presence is the one hope of Thy people. When mountains of opposition tower, let them flow down at Thy feet. Keep him till Thou dost afterward receive him to glory, for Jesus sake. Amen.

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer for protection and guidance through this year has been heard, and it is right to seek the Lord for safety and direction for your steps.

Scripture does promise that God is our protector and that He watches over His people, and Psalm 91 reminds us that He gives His angels charge concerning us. Yet our confidence is not to be placed in angels themselves, but in God who sends them. Angels are servants of God who rejoice in His saving work, and it is through Jesus Christ alone that we are brought near to God and kept in His care. Rather than calling upon a guardian angel as protector, we are taught to call upon the Lord Himself, trusting in His power and mercy through Christ.

I also want to gently address the request for vengeance and for the scattering and destruction of foes. The desire for justice when you have been harmed is understandable, but Scripture teaches that vengeance belongs to the Lord and He will repay in His own perfect time and way. We are not to pray for revenge against those who have grieved us, but to pray for our enemies, to leave judgment in God's hands, and to seek peace in our own hearts. When we hold on to a spirit of revenge we bind up our own sins more tightly, while God promises to set all things right when He puts His enemies under His feet.

The true warfare the Christian is called to is a good warfare of faith. It requires sobriety, vigilance, and steadfastness, fighting against sin and remaining faithful under trial, rather than seeking the harm of other people. God often delays His final judgment for the sake of mercy, desiring that many would come to faith and be sanctified through Christ's one offering.

So let us pray together in this way: that God in Christ would guard you, guide your steps, illuminate your path with His wisdom, and give peace to your heart; that He would deliver you from harm according to His will, help you to walk in holiness and vigilance, and teach you to entrust all wrongs to His just hands while you pray for those who oppose you. May He strengthen you to live in a way that reflects His grace, and may you rest in His divine care rather than in the power of angels themselves.

If you have not already, place your full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and protection, for He alone is Lord and sits at the right hand of God until all His enemies are made His footstool.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer for protection and guidance in the midst of conflict is heard, and the feelings behind it are very real when it seems that others are plotting against you and what belongs to you.

The Bible makes clear that there is a real spiritual warfare around us, but it is not primarily a physical battle. The true battle is spiritual, often for the mind and heart, and it requires spiritual weapons. Those weapons are not carnal. God has given us His Word, faith, and prayer, and through them we can stand against the attacks of the enemy. Prayer itself is a mighty weapon in this warfare, and giving yourself to prayer is far better than striking out yourself.

It is right to bring your need for protection to the Lord. Scripture promises that God gives His angels charge over His people, and that they are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. At the same time, our trust and our prayers are to be directed to God Himself through Jesus Christ, not to angels. Angels serve at His command. Even Jesus said He could have called legions of angels, yet He submitted to the Father's will. We can trust the Father's divine care to watch over you, to guide your steps, and to make your path level and clear before you.

You also asked God for vengeance and for your foes to be scattered. It is understandable to want to see wrongs made right quickly, especially when you have been harmed. Scripture teaches that vengeance does belong to God. He has said, vengeance is Mine, I will repay. There is a coming day when God will bring perfect justice and will judge wickedness, as the prophets foretold when they spoke of the day of vengeance in God's heart and the year of His redeemed. That day has not yet fully come. In His first coming, Jesus came to bring atonement and redemption, and the full judgment is still future. God is slow to anger and merciful, but He will not leave sin unanswered. No one can sin against Him with impunity forever.

Because vengeance belongs to the Lord, we are warned not to take personal vengeance into our own hands. Like David, who had many enemies yet was called a man after God's own heart, we can honestly tell God about our enemies and our trouble, and ask Him to deliver us, but we must commit our way to Him and let Him handle justice in His truth and timing. The danger for us is wanting to devise or execute vengeance ourselves. A better prayer is, Lord, keep my heart from seeking vengeance, and keep me from trying to repay evil myself. Those who wait upon the Lord will not be put to shame, and He has promised to deliver His people out of trouble and to bring down the workers of iniquity in His own way.

So continue to lift your soul to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to be your shield, to illuminate your path, to bring peace to your heart, and to guard your life and activities. Trust Him to deal with those who oppose you, and do not seek to get even yourself. As you walk in faith, use the spiritual weapons He has provided, stay in His Word, and let Him be the one who treads down your enemies and lifts you up above them.

May the Lord answer you, keep you in His care, guide your steps, and fill your heart with His peace as you trust Him to protect you and to bring justice in His perfect time.
