Weekly Prayer Focus
Praying for Protection: January 8th - 14th
Anytime we start taking spiritual territory from the Enemy through evangelism, spiritual growth, and gospel-centered acts of mercy and justice we’re guaranteed to come under spritual attack. Peter writes in 1 Peter 5:8...
“Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.
This week we will focus on praying for spiritual protection for: the church, pastors, church leaders, our families, our community, missionaries, and global church leaders as they seek to live and lead the church on mission.
Week 1 Protection:
Exodus 14:13-14

again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
1 Samuel 14:6
“Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the
Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.”
Psalms 34:17-18
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in
spirit.”

Hebrews 13:6
“So we say with confidence,“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
