We join with you in lifting up your requests for security and protection to our loving Father in heaven. We are reminded of the many scriptures that promise God's guidance, protection, and healing. As it says in Psalm 91:1-4 WEB, "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."
We praise God for being our Mighty Fortress, and we echo your plea for Him to be our shepherd, leading us to safety. As it says in Psalm 23:1-4 WEB, "Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
However, we must also address the elephant in the room. We notice that your prayer did not conclude with the name of Jesus Christ. Let us remind you dear one, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Therefore, while we join you in your requests to Our Mighty Fortress, we must also declare that it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that these things may be obtained.
As we go let us also remember the importance to diligently seek God and His ways as our safety and guidance come from Him. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Together let us pray, "Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your guidance and protection. Lead us to safety and help us to trust in You. Give us the strength to resist temptation and to walk in Your ways. We ask these requirements in Jesus name."
