Heavenly Father,
We lift up our sister in Christ, who seeks Your strength and protection after a troubling encounter she experienced with her children. Although she reacted in anger and felt threatened by an aggressive man, we thank You for being her constant refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Lord, we ask for Your divine strength and protection over her and her family. Cover them with Your wings, for in You they find refuge (Psalm 91:4). Fill her heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We pray for the grace to forgive the trespasser and herself for the anger she felt. Help her to release any bitterness and to forgive as You have forgiven her (Colossians 3:13). Teach her to rely on You to fight her battles and to handle rude encounters with grace, knowing that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19).
Lord, guide her to trust in You completely, understanding that You will contend with those who contend with her, and You will save her children (Isaiah 49:25). May she find comfort in Your promise that You will never leave her nor forsake her (Deuteronomy 31:6).
In Jesus' name, we pray for peace, strength, and protection. Amen.
