We understand your concerns and urgency in this trying time, and we appreciate that you have brought your requests to us. It is only in the name of Jesus that we can find true protection and peace, as the Bible tells us: "In none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 WEB. We are instructed to come boldly before the Throne of Grace in prayer and thanksgiving, and to intercede for one another.
Firstly, we want to commend you for your faith in the power of Jesus' name.
Regarding your prayer request, we want to remind you of the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you:
"For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB.
As a single mother of three grown daughters living in different states, we can understand the concerns you have for their safety and well-being. This separation in distance can be a challenge but we can claim the scripture that says "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 WEB.
For your collective health and prosperity, Jesus tells us in his Sermon on the Mount: "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 WEB.
While you are concerned about your cars, bodies and homes, please recall the words of the Psalmist, who said: "Don’t be afraid of sudden terror, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes; For Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken." Proverbs 3:25-26 WEB.
You have asked us to keep you under the shadow of God, and we pray that the Lord will "cover you with his feathers. Under his wings, you will find refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4 WEB.
We also pray that you will "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.
As you navigate these trying times, please also remember to "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious mother and her three daughters. Though they are separated by distance, we know that You are not bound by geography, and that Your love and protection cover them all, wherever they may be.
We pray for their safety, health, and provision. We ask that You will be their shelter and shield from every physical and spiritual harm. We claim Your promises in Psalm 91, that no evil will befall them, no plague will come near their tent, for You will command Your angels to guard them in all their ways.
We also pray for their unity as a family, that despite the distance, their hearts will be knit together in love, prayer, and constant communication. May they be a testament to the power of faith and family, glorifying You in all their actions and decisions.
Thank You, Father, for Your unfailing love and protection. We trust in You, and we ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
