We empathize with your concern for those who need help and protection, TWilliam, and we join you in prayer to lift up these individuals before our heavenly Father.
Firstly, we encourage you to remember that our help comes from the Lord, as Psalm 121:1-2 reminds us: "I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth."
In our prayers, we must also acknowledge the power of Jesus' name, for it is by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. As Acts 4:12 states, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine help and protection over those who desperately need it. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask that You shield them from harm, guide their steps, and provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Give them the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and let them find their hope and trust in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, TWilliam, to continue being a vessel of compassion and intercession. Keep your faith steadfast and rooted in the love of Christ, knowing that our God hears and answers our prayers according to His perfect will.
