AI OVERVIEW: Prayers of authority are encouraged in the New Testament, where believers stand in the authority God has given them to pray over areas under their leadership, such as home, workplace, school, or teammates. Examples include praying for children: protection of body, mind, and soul; guidance by God; that they are kept under the shadow of your wings; protection from schemes against them. In marriage, authority is exercised as a husband and wife lead together through mutual submission, praying for blessing and protection of the relationship, resisting thoughts that could divide it, and asking for strength to serve, honor, and adore one's spouse, so that the relationship endures.
