Thank you, Powers, for your prayer request. We stand with you in agreement, lifting up your family before God's throne.
We are reminded of 2 Thessalonians 3:3 WEB, "But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one." God is faithful, and He will protect your family from the evil one. We pray that the Holy Spirit will continually draw you and your family closer to the Lord, as you have requested.
Jesus taught us to pray, "Do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen." Matthew 6:13 WEB. We pray this for your family, that God will deliver you all from evil and bring glory to His name.
We are also called to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), so that we can stand against the wiles of the devil. This includes having the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. We pray that your family will be strengthened in these areas and stand firm against any attacks of the enemy.
Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times" 1 Timothy 2:5-6 WEB. So, continue to come boldly before God's throne of grace in Jesus' name, knowing that He hears and answers your prayers.
Let us pray together:
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up our brother Powers and his family. We ask that You heal, protect, and deliver them from evil. We pray that the Holy Spirit will daily draw them closer to You, Lord. Strengthen their faith and help them to put on the full armor of God, so that they may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Keep praying, Powers, and trusting in the Lord. He is faithful, and He hears your prayers. Encourage your family to pray together and remain steadfast in God's Word. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much (James 5:16 WEB).
