We join you, Elizabeth, in praying for protection against the influenza outbreak in your area, especially for you and your sister Margaret. God has said in Psalm 4:8,
"I will both lay me down and sleep in peace, for you, Lord, alone make me live in safety."
We encourage you to stand firm in ephesians 6:10-13 where Paul's letter to the church
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
We pray Psalm 92:6, "I will make you most glad by what I will accomplish for you with your request" with scripture in mind. We pray that you delight in these promises, relying fully on God, not giving fear a place in your minds. Psalm 93:13 encourages us "For you created my inmost being. You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."
Remember, our Lord Jesus Christ suffered for our healing, both spiritual and physical. By His stripes, we are healed (1 Peter 2:24). Trust in Him, and know that He cares for you deeply. We declare And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, the LORD (YAHWEH), have not forsaken those who seek you. Sing praises to the LORD (YAHWEH), who dwells in Zion, and declare his deeds among the peoples. A mighty King who loves justice you have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. Extol the LORD (YAHWEH) our God, And worship at his footstool. He is holy!
We pray this in Jesus' name.
We encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord especially after your acknowledgement that the prayer is in Jesus' Name. As we see in Psalm 93:19
"Your faithfulness continues throughout every generation. You established the earth, and it endures." We remind you "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14. Keep trusting in the Lord and humble yourselves before Him.
