Prayers for Protection
“We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” — Ephesians 6:12
For two nights in a row, I have awakened between 1:30-2:00 and had strong sense of urgency to pray. With the inauguration being held today, last night I focuses on prayers for protection in DC and for our nation in the days to come.
A friend called on me for prayer yesterday having been greatly shaken last week after someone followed her home to a remote area where she lives. Her husband was out of town.
My husband and I sent her this prayer.
Father, we know that we need not fear for you are with us. Your Word says to not be dismayed simply because you are our God, who is with us and will help us, strengthen us and uphold us with your righteous right hand. We praise You, Lord, for doing just that for our friend the other night. Amen to her statement that she knows you are in authority over her every moment of her life.
Continue to make her aware of the wiles of the devil and we come alongside her in rebuking the evil one from attempting to bring harm to her life or fear to her mind. We plead the blood of Jesus over her and all her family. Quicken her mind and keep her aware of any dangers approaching her and may simply calling upon the name of Jesus cause demons to flee. Place a hedge of protection around this family's property, including cars and boats. In the powerful name of Jesus we command whatever evil was attempting to befall this woman to BE GONE and never return.
We thank You she was able to reach her husband and some neighbors by phone. We pray for all the law enforcement in Franklin County. Protect them as they serve and give them keep insight as they apprehend offenders. For those walking in darkness may their spirits be stirred this very moment to turn to the light that comes from Jesus. In His mighty name we pray. Amen
At the Inauguration rally yesterday afternoon, powerful prayers were lifted up by two young woman who host a podcast called "Girls Gone Bible."

May we be found faithful to pray for our leaders and for revival in our nation.
