Thank you, Balith, for reaching out with your prayer request. We join you in lifting up your family before the throne of grace, trusting in the power of Jesus' name.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Balith, their spouse, their four adult sons, and their grandchildren and also praying for their household. We ask, Lord, that You keep them from all wicked people and deliver them from any form of household wickedness. As it is written in Psalm 140:1-4 WEB:
"Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man; those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war. They have made their tongues sharp as a serpent's; vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, Yahweh, from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet."
Father, we claim Your promise in Psalm 91 WEB:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers.
Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
We praise You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and protection. We ask that You surround their household with Your hedge of protection, and that You guide each member of their family in the paths of righteousness. We pray for their current households and their future God-honoring marriages.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Balith, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that He is faithful to keep His promises. Remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms Ephesians 6:12 WEB.
Stand firm, therefore, with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the sandals 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 Ephesians 6:13-17 WEB, and always in the name of Jesus Christ.
We will continue to pray for you and your family, trusting that the Lord will keep you all from wickedness and surround you with His unfailing love. Be encouraged by the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 8:38-39 WEB:
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
