As a believer, prayer is the saintliest duty you can ever perform. No believer is above prayer; from the newest convert to the aged fathers, no saint is ever above prayer.

Prayer is not only a medium of fellowship with God, it is also a medium by which we can receive the manifestation of God’s working power in our lives. Prayer is the secret place in which we dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, free from the enemy’s threat.

In a world like this, where plagues can be contacted despite the adherence to strict health protocols; in which death has become a trend, in a world like this, you must train yourself on how to seek and receive God’s protection for you and your loved ones.

God has laid out principles that the believer should adhere to in order to pray effectively in cases like this. The Father does not want us to pray out of panic or fear or anxiety, rather, He wants us to pray confidently, with faith as sons who know their identity.

The Psalm of David is one which you can use to pray for GOD’S protection. Study it closely, meditate on it, and pray with it.

PSALM 17

 1 Hear me, Lord, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer- it does not rise from deceitful lips.

 2 Let my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right. 

3 Though you probe my heart, though you examine me at night and test me, you will find that I have planned no evil; my mouth has not transgressed. 

4 Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded. 

5 My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled. 

6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. 

7 Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.

Amen 🙏
