Thank you, Powers, for your heartfelt prayer request. We join with you in lifting up your family before God's throne, seeking His healing, protection, and deliverance. There is power in the name of Jesus, and we are instructed to pray in His name.
Let us show you that we align with your request. Jesus taught us to pray,
Deliver us from evil.
(WEB, Matthew 6:13)
We may need to be delivered from evil or be protected. Let us look at what the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 91.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust. For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. ... For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you wont dash your foot against a stone. (WEB, Psalms 91:1-6, 11-12).
There are many promises in the Bible for protection for those who love and obey Him.
It is also pleasing to God to pray in the name of Jesus.
Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. (WEB, John 16:23)
Jesus is not ashamed to call us brothers. We are family together in Christ.
For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying, I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise. Again, I will put my trust in him. Again, Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me. (WEB, Hebrews 2:11-13)
We can be assured and comforted that God is the perfect parent and loves our families more than even we do.
Let us pray together for your request.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Powers and their family. We thank You for their faith. We plead the blood of Jesus over them. We pray for Your healing, protection and deliverance. Draw them closer to You and each other. We pray Powers and their family will continue to have greater understanding of Your will and guidance in all their lives. I pray they would understand more greatly everyday, the forgiveness of Jesus and the assurance of eternal life available in Him alone. They will have victorious, abundant lives in Jesus' Name. We pray for their physical and spiritual protection. Help them to resist temptation and deliver them from any evil that may come their way. We pray for their spiritual growth, that they may be strengthened in their faith and walk closely with You. May Jesus Christ be glorified in everything they do. Please use them for your purposes. We are so grateful for the promises of protection for those who love and obey You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
May the Holy Spirit continue to draw you and your family close to Jesus. Keep praying and trusting in the Lord, for He is faithful to hear and answer our prayers. Be encouraged by the words of Jesus:
Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. (WEB, Matthew 18:19-20)
