Prayer Points For Family Protection and Guidance

Last Updated on August 25, 2023 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

The year is gradually coming to an end. It is the time of the year when families are thrown apart. It is the time of the year when the cold hands of evil visit families and throw a blissful home into morning. We have  gotten to the time of the year where family needs protection and guidance.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 – But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. Thankfully, when it comes to our safety as individuals and family, God is not silent. He is our refuge and fortress. And in this perilous time, we will call on Him and He will answer us. More than ever, families must begin to walk in the light and guidance of the Lord. We must not depart from his presence because we are in perilous time and the enemy is on rampage.

Just before we launch into prayer for protection and guidance, let’s talk about how we can continue to walk in the protection and guidance of God.

3 Ways We Can Walk In Protection and Guidance of God

We must be equipped with the right knowledge. By the virtue of this knowledge, we can make the right decisions. Here are 3 ways we can walk in the protection and guidance of God.

By Obedience 

Deuteronomy 5:33 Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

Do Not Rely On Your Strength 

James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Submit all to God. The more you continue to rely on your strength and ability, the more you are telling God that He’s not needed. For many years the children of Israel were languishing in pain and agony in the land of Egypt. Often than not they have tried to stand for themselves but all to no avail. God left them until they remembered that their fathers served a God whose name is Jehovah.

God is in no competition with anyone and certainly, he won’t compete with you. If you are telling God you can do it by yourself, God will simply excuse himself.

Ask For Help

Jeremiah 33:3, Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

Always ask God for help. Ask Him for protection over your life and family. The scripture says and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find. Do not keep silent. God is our Heavenly Father and He’s always ready to listen to us when we call on Him.
