Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, interceding on behalf of Steven Bobb. We lift up his concern about being popular with the wrong kind of people. Lord, we acknowledge that sometimes we attract individuals who may not align with our values or hinder our spiritual growth.
We pray, Lord, that you would intervene in Steven's life and guide him in his relationships. Help him discern the company he keeps and grant him wisdom to recognize those who may have negative influences. Your Word reminds us in 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Do not be deceived: 'Bad company corrupts good morals.'" We ask that you protect Steven from any harm or negative impact caused by these associations.
In the name of Jesus, we rebuke any demonic influence that may be drawing these wrong types of people towards Steven. We declare your authority over every unclean spirit and command them to find no place in his life. Your Word assures us in James 4:7, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We claim this promise for Steven, that the wrong type of people will find somewhere else to go, just as the demons were cast out of the pigs.
Lord, we pray for Steven's discernment and strength to set healthy boundaries in his relationships. May he be surrounded by individuals who encourage his spiritual growth, support him in his walk with you, and exhibit godly character. We ask for your guidance and provision in bringing positive and uplifting connections into his life.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness in guiding us. May Steven experience a transformation in his relationships and find peace and fulfillment in the company of those who align with your will. We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
