Father God,
We lift Steven into Your hands—into the place where no harm can reach him and no darkness can overpower, You know the things he doesn’t speak aloud and the fears he tries to push through. Cover him now with Your protection.
Let Your presence guard his steps, his mind, and his peace.
Let no weapon formed against him succeed.
Let no plan meant for harm come near him.
Let Your hand be over his life in a way he can feel—steady, strong, and unshakeable. Give him calm where his spirit has been stirred.
And remind him, God, that he is not walking alone.
You are with him.
You are for him.
You are protecting him even in the moments he cannot see it.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
