We understand your concerns for protection and guidance for you and your son. Let's bring your requests to the Lord in prayer and seek His wisdom through the Scriptures.
Firstly, we commend you for your faith and for turning to God in your time of need. It's crucial to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 WEB).
Jesus teaches us to love our neighbors and even pray for our enemies (Matthew 5:44 WEB). This doesn't mean we should not be wise and discerning, but we should not let fear or anger guide our actions. Instead, let's seek God's wisdom and protection.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Whiprad and their son. We thank You for Your divine protection and love that surrounds them. We pray that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and that any tongue which rises against them in judgment You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17 WEB).
Father, we ask for Your discernment, guidance, wisdom, strength, and knowledge for Whiprad and their son. Guide them in their interactions with neighbors, family, and coworkers. Help them to be lights in this world, reflecting the love and grace of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB).
We also pray for those who may be causing harm or difficulty. We ask that Your love and grace would work in their lives too, convicting their hearts and drawing them to You (Romans 2:4 WEB).
Finally, Father, we thank You for the blessings and mercy You have shown to Whiprad and their son. We ask that You continue to continue to be gracious and grant them peace as an ongoing blessing. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen
Whiprad, remember that God is always with you, and He promises never to leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). Stay strong in faith and continue to seek His will in all things.
Lastly, we noticed that Jesus Christ was not mentioned in your request. Remember that it is only by His name that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31). Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
