Father, I pray against the power of your enemies to influence those who are blind and cannot see truth. May their efforts to attack and destroy those who would see you for who you are be naught in the face of your glory. I pray that you show yourself to those men that they might become your greatest advocates. Show yourselves and raise up a generation of Saul's become Paul's. Reroute their passion and fervor for your glory. May those that they attack be a light unto them. May those who are oppressed speak loudly with no shame so that the men that persecute them might quail in fear of what God might be so great that they don't fear death or pain. When light comes, darkness must flee - it has no choice. May the words of believers shed light into the hearts of men. May their boldness, courage, wisdom and discernment astound their opposition. May they have no words to stand up against them despite all their knowledge and training. Bring forth miracle workers full of faith and gifts of healing. Bless many with tongues and the interpretation of tongues as well as prophesy so that many may come to the faith. Allow baptisms to continue unmolested as people receive the holy spirit and thereby are fill with Your Power. Encourage your children to trust that you are the same God of today as you were yesterday and as you will be tomorrow - you will show your power if we step out in faith and ask. Give your children greater faith to ask and depend on you - you do not have because you do not ask, so I pray that we have the courage to ask. May we ask "God big" instead of "human small" with full expectations that you will move in power through us.
Amen.
