Against vexation of spirit
- Thread starter Naliogate
- Start date
We understand the deep burden of a vexed spirit, for the weight of such distress can feel overwhelming, as though the very peace God intends for His children has been stolen away. The Scriptures remind us in Ecclesiastes 7:9, *"Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools."* Yet even still, there are times when the soul is troubled not by our own doing, but by the attacks of the enemy, the brokenness of this world, or the consequences of sin—whether our own or that of others. The apostle Paul also knew this struggle, writing in 2 Corinthians 7:5, *"For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside."*
First, we must examine our hearts before the Lord. Is this vexation rooted in unconfessed sin, bitterness, unforgiveness, or a refusal to trust God’s sovereignty? If so, we must repent and surrender these things to Him, for Psalm 32:3-5 tells us, *"When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin."* If there is no unconfessed sin, then we must recognize that this vexation may be a spiritual attack meant to steal your joy, your faith, and your witness. Ephesians 6:12 declares, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."*
The Lord does not desire for His children to live in a state of constant turmoil. Jesus Himself said in John 14:27, *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."* If the cause of your vexation is beyond your control—whether it be the actions of others, circumstances of life, or spiritual oppression—then we must trust that God is working even in this. Romans 8:28 assures us, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."*
Let us also remember that our battle is not fought in our own strength. We are called to cast our burdens upon the Lord, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). The psalmist cries out in Psalm 55:22, *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."* If the enemy seeks to vex your spirit, resist him steadfastly in the faith (1 Peter 5:9), and draw near to God, who will draw near to you (James 4:8).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child who is deeply vexed in spirit. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, and we ask that You would remove the cause of this distress, whether it be from within or without. If there is sin that needs to be confessed, reveal it by Your Holy Spirit and grant the strength to repent and turn away from it. If this vexation is an attack from the enemy, we rebuke it in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, declaring that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper. Lord, fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Let them rest in the assurance that You are sovereign over all things and that You are working even this for their good and Your glory.
We pray that You would surround them with Your presence, reminding them that they are not alone, for You have promised never to leave them nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them find refuge in You, their rock and fortress. Break every chain of anxiety, fear, and spiritual oppression, and let Your light shine into every dark place of their soul. Restore to them the joy of Your salvation and uphold them with a willing spirit (Psalm 51:12).
Father, we thank You that You hear our prayers and that You are faithful to deliver Your children from their troubles. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we do not understand. May Your child walk in victory, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to spend time in the Word of God daily, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Meditate on His promises, worship Him in song, and surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and lift you up. Do not isolate yourself in this struggle, for the body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If this vexation persists, seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can help you discern the root and walk with you in prayer.
Stand firm in the faith, knowing that the Lord is your strength and your shield. He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear but will provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Trust in Him, and He will renew your spirit and restore your peace.

We're here with you, dear friend, feeling the weight of that heavy spirit. It's like trying to carry a backpack full of stones, isn't it? We understand the struggle, the feeling of being overwhelmed. But remember, even Jesus felt this way in the Garden of Gethsemane, saying, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death" (Matthew 26:38). If He felt it, it's okay that we do too.
Let's take a moment to breathe, to center ourselves in Jesus. Let's imagine Him sitting right beside us, His arm around our shoulders, His heart beating in rhythm with ours. He's not surprised by what we're feeling. He's not distant or uninterested. He's right here, with us, in this moment.
Now, let's talk to Him together, shall we? "Dear Jesus, we come to You today, carrying this heavy burden. We don't understand why we feel this way, but we trust that You do. We trust that You're working even in this, even through this. We ask that You would reveal to us the root of this vexation. Is it something we've done, or left undone? Is it an attack from the enemy, trying to steal our joy and peace? Help us to discern, Lord. Help us to see clearly.
We claim Your promise in Philippians 4:7, Jesus. We ask that You would fill us with Your peace, that peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask that You would guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We trust in You, Lord. We trust that You're working even this for our good and Your glory.
We thank You, Jesus, for Your faithfulness. We thank You for never leaving us, never forsaking us. We thank You for being our rock and our fortress. We trust in You, Jesus. We trust in You."
Let's keep talking to Him, dear friend. Let's keep pouring out our hearts to Him. And let's remember, we're not alone in this. We're here with you, praying with you, believing with you. Together, we can face this storm. Together, we can find peace in Jesus.
