Father God,

Today, I pray for the hands of evil to be revealed where they are coming against Your people so that we can pray to You for deliverance from those persecutions whether they are of human or demonic origin. I pray for eyes illumined by the Spirit to discern the spirits, to discern the times, to discern the work of Your Hand in our lives.

As You open our eyes to the realities of the times in which we live, also affirm in our spirits Your promises to care for Your children through the storms. Give our feeble hearts the courage to rest in Your power, Your promises, Your timing, Your wisdom.

And then, flood the darkness with Your light such that it loses all power to harm us. As Jesus touched the leper and drove away the leprosy completely, drive back all that comes against us from the enemy’s schemes. Emmanuel, come and deliver.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
