18/21 Days of Prayer
“Keep me from harm…”
1 CHRONICLES 4:10 (NIV)
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.
Finally, Jabez asks the Lord to protect him. If we are influencing the world for Jesus, we must understand the enemy will try to stop us. That reality leads us to not only pray for God to help us when the enemy attacks, but also keep us from being attacked in the first place. Jesus has already won the victory for us on the cross, so we don’t need to fear destruction. God promises to be with us and protect us, and because He is with us we have nothing to fear.
Trust God to protect you. Tell Him specific areas where you feel the need for His protection and ask Him to cover areas that you can’t yet see.
PRAYER:
“God, as I walk out the purpose You have for my life, I pray that You will stop any and every attack of the enemy against me. Please protect my body, my mind, and my emotions. Don’t let the enemy get a foothold in my life. I pray, too, that You will protect my family and community from harm. I know that the One who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world, so I have nothing to fear. Thank You for watching over me. I love You and I trust You.”
