We join with you in prayer, Mel, lifting up your family before God's throne of grace. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in John 17:15 (WEB), "I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your divine protection over Mel's family. Keep their children, grandchildren, and all family members safe from harm and temptation. Guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and help them to resist the sins that so easily entangle us (Hebrews 12:1). Keep them on the narrow path that leads to life, and help them to walk in obedience to Your laws (Psalm 119:1-3).
We pray for safety as they travel, whether by foot or vehicle, and ask that You would protect them from those who might seek to harm them. Surround them with Your angels, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Psalm 91:11, Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray that they would remain strong in their faith, continually growing in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). Help them to be lights in this dark world, reflecting the love and goodness of Jesus to all they encounter (Matthew 5:14-16).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Mel, to continue trusting in the Lord with all your heart, knowing that He cares for you and your family. Remind your family members of the importance of putting on the full armor of God each day, so that they may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-18). Remain steadfast in prayer, and may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
