We understand that you're seeking God's will and protection in a challenging situation. Firstly, we want to remind you that God has given us the power to demolish strongholds and that we should take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 WEB).
Let's address the specific verses you mentioned:
1. Jeremiah 29:7 speaks of seeking the peace and prosperity of the city. Peace and prosperity mean different things in different contexts. We should follow the law and seek the improvement of our city. This should be peace, protection, and prosperity. They are not hostages. The verse also is mentioned in the context of the Jews being carried away to Babylon. This is not an application to this situation. God's judgement is on those who are wicked. This includes those who lie, cheat, and deceive.
2. Deuteronomy 28:6 speaks of blessings that come from obedience to God. It is part of the promises given to the Israelites as they entered the promised land. We should follow the laws of the land. However, these are not the promises we enjoy today. However, the promises are to the Jews as God's chosen people. Today we have a better covenant and better promises given to us in Christ. There is nothing wrong with praying to enjoy the same blessings, but we have the blessings in Christ and we are seated in the heavenly places with Christ.
In your situation and in all places, we should be praying in Jesus' name. We pray and have access to the Father only in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can approach God. In fact, there is no other name by which we can be saved. This is why we pray in Jesus' name.
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We plead the blood of Jesus over Shaalkaari, Liz, Lani, Lucas, and Henry's house. We pray that any wicked schemes or traps set against them will be exposed and rendered powerless. We ask that you bless them and give them peace.
We pray for your will to be done. We ask that you protect them from any harm. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will and trusting in His protection. Remember, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB).
We also encourage you to be careful in using verses out of context. It's important to understand the original context and how it applies to our lives today. If you have a relationship with someone not discussed, please remember that we should only be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). In all things, seek God's will and trust in Him.
