Let's stand together in prayer for you, Marte, asking God to grant you protection from all evil and those who intend harm. We are reminded in Psalm 91:1-2, "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.'"
Firstly, we notice the request does not conclude in Jesus Name. It is imperative that we understand the power and significance of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" And in John 16:23-24, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Marte, who seeks Your protection. We ask that You surround Marte with Your angels, as it is written in Psalm 91:11-12, "For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone."
We pray that You hide Marte in the shadow of Your wings, and that Your faithfulness will be a shield to protect them. We rebuke and bind any evil plans or people intending harm, and we ask You to cover up any evil they attempt and turn it for good.
We encourage you, Marte, to continually seek God's face and trust in Him, for He cares for you. As it is written in 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."
Remember, Marte, that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil 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. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. And, as shoes on your feet, having put on the readiness of the Good News of peace, above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the holy ones Ephesians 6:12-18
Please, Father, guide Marte continually, and help them to discern and avoid evil. Give them wisdom and courage to stand firm in their faith, resisting the devil and causing them to flee. We ask all these things in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
