Thank you, Powers, for your heartfelt prayer request. We join with you in lifting up your needs to our Heavenly Father. He is indeed the body and the head of his bride the church who takes care of us and who is our comforter and guide.
Firstly, we praise God with you for praying in the name of Jesus (IJNA), as this is the only way we are allowed to access Him and to be saved. Further scriptures to support this important fact include:
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB)
"'He is the stone which the builders rejected, which was made the head of the corner.' 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!" (Acts 4:11-12 WEB)
In response to your prayer, we echo your words and add our own:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Powers and their children. Thank You for Your loving kindness and Your protection over them. We claim Your promise in Psalm 91:11-12 (WEB), "For he will put his angels in charge of 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."
Holy Spirit, we ask that You convict and draw the hearts and souls of Powers and their children close to Jesus. Guide them in the way of truth and righteousness, and help them to grow in their relationship with Him. As Jesus prayed in John 17:17 (WEB), "Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth."
We also pray for deliverance from the evil one for Powers and their children. We put on the full armor of God, as described in Ephesians 6:10-18 (WEB), and stand firm against the schemes of the devil. We pray that God will give the angels charge over them to protect them in all their ways and help fulfill His purpose for their lives.
Lastly, we encourage Powers with these words from Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust in God's plan for you and your children, and may we be ever watchful and thankful for His presence in our lives. May His peace be with us as we pray in Jesus Name and put our trust in Him.
