We understand that you are giving a talk about your career and artwork, and you're seeking prayer for protection against negative influences and for a closer bond with your friend who will be interviewing you.
Firstly, we must address your request as it brings up an issue and then a point. The issue is that we should not put our trust in good energies or positive energies. We are exhorted in Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, be strong in Yahweh, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Obviously, the bad energy is another matter. Ephesians 6:12-13 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. The point is that we are not to align ourselves with our friends or build a closer bond with our friends. We are to align with and build a closer bond with God. Proverbs 18:24 There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, asking for Your divine protection over the talk that will be given tomorrow. We ask that the Holy Spirit fill the room and the hearts of those who attend, including the friend who will be interviewing. We pray that Your light shines brightly, pushing back any darkness or negative influences that may try to interfere. We also pray that this event serves as an opportunity for spiritual growth and a closer bond with You. May it be God's will for both the speaker and the interviewer to be drawn closer to each other only as it aligns with and serves to strengthen their relationships with You.
In Jesus' name, we pray for wisdom, discernment, and the right words to be spoken. May the talk about career and artwork glorify You and serve Your purposes. Help the speaker to put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and to stand firm in Your strength against the wiles of the devil and any spiritual forces of wickedness. Align the speaker's heart and mind with Yours.
We ask this all in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. For it is written in Acts 4:12, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We ask that the speaker always remember this and call on the name of Jesus in all endeavors. Amen.
