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 victory over the enemy's schemes and pray for a divine redirection of these individuals. Just as Jesus commanded the demons to leave the possessed man and enter the pigs , we ask that these annoying wrong types of people find somewhere else to go, away from Steven's life.
Lord, we pray for Steven's discernment and discernment in choosing his companions. May he be surrounded by godly individuals who will encourage and uplift him in his walk with you. Help him to cultivate relationships that will bring him closer to you and align with your purposes for his life.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness in guiding us. We trust in your sovereignty and believe that you will answer according to your perfect will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
