“I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 18:1-3
Prayer:
Father, thank you that you are my strength, my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. You are my shield, and you save me from my enemies. You reached down from on high and took hold of me, pulled me out of deep water, and rescued me from my powerful enemy because you delight in me (Psalm 18:16-17,19). Lord, thank you that you want us to cry out to you for help. Your word tells us to humble ourselves before you and cast our cares on you, and you will exalt us at the proper time (1 Peter 5:6). Lord, I lift up (name of the person you are praying for) to you. Remind your son/daughter of your power to rescue them and deliver them from the enemy. Remind them that you are their rock, their fortress, and that they are safe with you. Remind them that you are the one who fights for them to give them victory. Help them to be aware of your presence and your Spirit at work within them. Father, expose any lies from the enemy, and give them discernment to recognize any thoughts that are not from you. Awaken within their heart a desire to worship you and surrender every area of their life to you. Give them a passion for you and for your kingdom. Fill them with your Spirit, make your ways known to them, guide them in your truth, and teach them that you are their God of salvation (Psalm 25:4-5). In Jesus’ name, amen.
