29 MFM Warfare Prayer Points from Psalm 16 for Divine Preservation, Destiny Protection and Victory Over Premature Death
Prayer Focus
This prayer session is based on Psalm 16, focusing on divine preservation, protection of destiny, security in God’s presence, deliverance from destructive paths, and victory over fear of premature death.
Psalm 16 begins with the powerful cry:
“Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.” — Psalm 16:1
The prayers emphasize trusting God as the keeper of life, asking Him to preserve one’s going out and coming in, guard one’s purpose, and lead one in the path of life.
Bible Exhortation
Psalm 16 is a psalm of confidence and security in God. David declares that the Lord is his refuge, his portion, and the One who preserves him.
The Psalm also says:
“I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” — Psalm 16:8
This is the posture of spiritual warfare: confidence rather than terror, faith rather than panic, and dependence upon God rather than human strength.
God is the giver and sustainer of life. Therefore, when praying against premature death, the believer should not become obsessed with death or fearful of every circumstance. Instead, place your life, future, health, decisions, movements and destiny into God’s hands and ask Him for wisdom, protection and preservation.
