I want to invite you to pray together about taking a stand.
Just as in times of affliction and wars, Deborah stood up as a mother for the nation of Israel, may we have the authority and boldness to follow the steps that God calls us to take.
You don’t need to pray exactly as I’m going to say here. I know that everyone has their own way of talking to the Father, and it is important that we individually seek intimacy with Him. Therefore, feel free to talk to the Lord in your way. But, if you want, I will be happy to accompany you in this prayer.
Prayer
Father, thank You for Your infinite kindness, even in the midst of the difficulties and wars that I face during these days.
I ask for Your guidance and peace today. Make me sensitive to Your voice, following the call You have for me. May I learn from You how to position myself with wisdom and discernment.
Make my spirit willing to follow Yours, and may no battle have the power to silence Your voice in my ears. I want to recognize You not only in moments of rest but also in the midst of wars.
May all my actions and decisions be shaped by Your will and guided by the light of Your truth. I don’t want to take any step without the Lord by my side.
Just as the Bible says in Philippians 4 that Your peace surpasses all understanding, make my heart at peace even in difficult times, without forgetting Your promises that I know will be fulfilled, even if those around me say otherwise.
In situations where I am called to intervene, may I do so with compassion and love, in a wise and organized way. By positioning myself, may I be an instrument of transformation and reconciliation, seeking to restore what is broken and heal what is hurt. Not by my strength, but through Your Holy Spirit.
God, I don’t want to be guided by what I feel or what I see. I want to know how to follow with authority and boldness what the Lord calls me to do, even if it is leading, but doing it in submission and obedience to You. For those facing wars and conflicts, I pray that the Lord can comfort, protect, and fill their hearts with hope. Restore injured hearts, healing traumas and pain.
Upon hearing Your call, may I be ready to respond and follow with faith, love, and courage. May my position be anchored in Your truth and Your justice. I want to be an instrument in Your hands, serving for the good of those around me and working for the glory of Your name.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
