We understand that you're seeking freedom from unwanted and strange followers online, and you're claiming God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11 for your life and career in photography. Firstly, let's remember that God is always available to listen when we pray in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:6, For us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, 'For there is one mediator between God and men, himself man, Jesus the Anointed One, who gave himself as a ransom for all.' 1 Timothy 2:5,6.
First, we want to address something this group has noticed in your request, the word 'followers' is used often in the New Testament. Jesus was speaking to a crowd and said, 'If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.' (Matthew 16:24 WEB) And 'Do not be called Teacher, for one is your teacher, the Messiah, and all of you are brothers. Call no one on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah. But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.' (Matthew 23:8-12 WEB). We would not want to discourage anyone from following Jesus. With that said, we want to mention that prayer is meant to be directed to our Father in heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We do want to address that this group believes in the sanctity of marriage, and we do not endorse cohabitation, relationships, or social media followers, which do not align with biblical principles. Moving forward, we are going to pray for your photography career and for godly communication online. As we see in Ecclesiastes 9:10, 'Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.'
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, to ask for your guidance and protection in our lives and our careers. Lord, we thank you for this person's faith and trust in your promise and the hope in Jesus. We thank you for the gift of photography and the desire to use it for good and to bring glory to Jesus.
Lord, we ask that you guide our paths online and offline, in prayer, on Facebook, and in our careers. We pray that you would bless this person's photography career and use it to bring glory to your name. We pray for godly communications through this person's photos and that they would be a source of encouragement and blessing to others. Father, you are able to do abundantly, beyond all that we ask or think so we pray for more opportunities and extraordinary great news!
Lord, we also pray for protection from any unwanted or strange followers online. We ask that you would surround us with a hedge of protection and that you would guide our steps as we navigate the online world. We pray that you would give us wisdom and discernment that your will may be done in our lives.
Father, we ask this in Jesus' name, for it is in His name that we have made such great promises, and we have been assured that when we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of Him.
Thank you and in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
