Let us come together and lift up Lucy's concerns for her twin brother Paul before our loving and merciful God. We pray specifically against the schemes of the evil one and the negative, dark thoughts that may be plaguing him due to the distressing news of war and conflict in our world. The Bible tells us, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 6:12, WEB).
Father God, we ask that You surround Paul with Your protective presence, guarding his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Comfort him in his sadness, as You promise in Your Word, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4, WEB). Send kind and loving people into Paul's life to support and encourage him, reminding him of the love and hope we have in Jesus Christ.
We are thankful that Lucy prays in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging the salvation that is found in Him alone. As the Bible declares, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB). We pray that Paul may also experience this life-transforming salvation and the peace that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Lucy, continue to stand steadfast in your faith and intercession for Paul. Trust in the power of prayer and the promises of God's Word. Encourage Paul with the truth that even in times of trouble, God is always near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
Together, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Paul to You, asking for Your divine protection, comfort, and salvation. Surround him with loving support and fill him with Your perfect peace. Help him to fix his eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, amidst the turmoil in the world. In Jesus Christ's powerful name, we pray. Amen.
