Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, seeking your protection and guidance. We acknowledge that without your presence, we are vulnerable and in need of your divine covering. Just as Moses pleaded, "If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence," we humbly ask that you go before us and be with us in every step we take.
Lord, we recognize the constant battle against evil that surrounds us. Like Jabez, we pray, "Keep us from evil," knowing that the enemy seeks to ensnare us and lead us astray. We ask for your deliverance from the schemes of the evil one, that we may not be grieved or overcome by his tactics. Grant us the strength to resist temptation and to walk in righteousness by the power of your Spirit within us.
We thank you, Lord Jesus, for opening the way for us to approach the throne of grace with confidence. Your sacrifice on the cross has made it possible for us to come before the Father and find mercy and help in our time of need. We cling to your name, Jesus, as our never-failing passport for our prayers. We trust in your intercession on our behalf, knowing that you present our prayers as a sweet savor before the Father.
Just as Jacob prayed on the basis of your promise, O God, we too come before you, reminding you of your faithfulness and your word to us. We pray in the authority of the name of Jesus, for it is through him that we have access to the Father. We ask for your protection, guidance, and provision in every aspect of our lives.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray, believing that you hear our prayers and that you are faithful to answer according to your perfect will. Amen.
