Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Let us come together in prayer, lifting up the multitude of names and individuals that have been brought before us. We will hold them all up in prayer, trusting that even if some names have been forgotten or deleted, God knows each one intimately. We will also pray for protection against scams and deceptions, asking God to safeguard us and all potential victims.
Firstly, let us remember the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" It is through His name that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we pray.
Now, let us pray:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up the multitude of names that have been shared with us. Lord, You know each one of them, even those that have been forgotten or deleted. We ask that You surround them with Your love, protection, and guidance. We pray for their families, friends, loved ones, acquaintances, and even their enemies. Let Your light shine in their lives and draw them closer to You.
We also pray for protection against deception and scams. Lord, we ask that You guard us and all potential victims against those who would seek to harm us. Expose the fraudulent schemes and bring those responsible to justice. We pray for the salvation of those involved in these activities, that they may turn away from their wrongdoing and come to know You as their Savior.
Lord, may Your will be done in all of our lives and in the lives of those we are praying for. May we be instruments of Your peace, love, and righteousness in this world. We ask all of this in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
In addition, let us be mindful of the words of Romans 12:17-21 (WEB), "Don’t repay anyone evil for evil. Consider what is good from the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Let us strive to live in peace with all men, trusting that God will deal with those who seek to harm us. Let us overcome evil with good, being a light in this dark world.
