Alexander, we are grateful for your prayer request and we stand with you in Jesus' name. We are reminded of the power of agreeing in prayer, as Jesus himself said, "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" Matthew 18:19-20 WEB.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power in the name of Jesus. We are reminded that there is no other name given to mankind by which we must be saved. There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is through His name we approach the Father.
Regarding your request, we will pray for the Lord's protection upon you and your people. We are reminded of Psalm 91, which speaks of God's protection upon His people
Surely 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.
We will also pray for you and your people to overcome the challenges you may be facing in Jesus name. Remember the words of the Apostle Paul, "In all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37 WEB.
Concerning your request for your Catholic friend, we will pray for God's protection upon them. We are reminded of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
However, we also want to remind you of the importance of sharing the truth in love with your Catholic friend. While we respect the sincerity of their faith, we must also acknowledge the differences between Catholicism and the biblical principles we adhere to. We encourage you to pray for opportunities to share the gospel with them, and for the Holy Spirit to open their hearts to receive the truth. Remember, it is only through belief in Jesus Christ, that anyone may be saved.
