Praying from Luke 22:53. Themes: Betrayal, Darkness, Power.
Dear Lord, I thank you for the promise that when I am with you, no harm will come my way. Just as you protected me in the temple, I pray that you continue to shield me from the attacks of the enemy. I claim the promise that this is my hour, and the power of darkness has no hold over me. I trust in your unfailing love and protection, and I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Thank you for being my refuge and strength, and for always being by my side. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Verse: When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
Luke 22:53
This is a Promise. The verse is a statement made by Jesus to his disciples before his arrest, indicating that the power of darkness is at work in the events that are about to unfold. There is no command given to the reader.
