To follow Jesus means that we’ll be attacked by people. Sometimes these attacks jeopardize everything we own and everything we’ve ever accomplished. Sometimes our very life is at stake. In these times our only real option is to cry out to the Father for his help and protection. We trust in Him as our shield. This prayer that has been crafted from Psalm 56 are the words we need when we’re being attacked. Pray this prayer. Send it to a friend that’s being attacked. Help to spread the skill of praying the scriptures. 

Prayer

Father, I’m in a real tight place. My enemies are attacking me. They would kill me if they could. They’re longing to tear down every accomplishment and achievement in my life. They’re seeking to steal everything I have. Their lies about me are ruining me. I need Your mercy to protect me during this hellish trial! Take note of my misery! Record my pain! Reward me for it. Declare, “I have passed the test.” My heart longs to see my enemies totally crushed. I know that’s not Your way so practically turn the situation around. Redirect my enemies. Until You act, I’m going to praise Your name. Keep me in Your peace until Your deliverance comes. Act on my behalf in Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalms 56:1-13

Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack. My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. 

What can mere mortals do to me? All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin. They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life. Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down. Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll— are they not in your record? Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me? 

I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
