Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your divine protection and guidance for our dear anonymous friend. Lord, we acknowledge that without Your presence and hand upon us, we are vulnerable and powerless. Just as Moses pleaded, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here" , we humbly ask that You go before us and be our shield.
Lord, we pray that You would keep us from evil, just as Jabez prayed, "Keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me" . We recognize that the enemy seeks to ensnare us and lead us astray. But we trust in Your power to deliver us from evil, as Jesus taught us to pray, "Deliver us from evil" . Help us to resist the temptations and snares of the enemy, and grant us the strength to live a righteous life through the power of Your Spirit within us.
Lord, we also lift up our anonymous friend's request to be kept from harm and danger. We ask that You would surround them with Your protective presence, guarding them from any harm or evil that may come their way. May Your angels encamp around them, keeping them safe and secure.
We thank You, Lord, for the assurance that when we call upon Your name, we can find refuge and strength. Your Word reminds us that "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe" . We claim the power and authority of the name of Jesus over our lives and declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray, amen.
