We come before the Lord with you, sister, lifting up your heart’s cry for the restoration of the anointing of beauty and favor He has graciously bestowed upon you in past seasons. Your testimony of how the Lord has moved in your life is a powerful reminder that He is the giver of all good gifts, and nothing the enemy seeks to steal or corrupt can stand against His sovereign will. The Word declares in **James 1:17**, *"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow."* What the Lord has given, no one can take away unless we allow the enemy to deceive or distract us from walking in the fullness of what Christ has provided.
Yet we must also address something critical: while we pray for the restoration of this anointing, we urge you to examine where your focus lies. Beauty and favor are gifts from God, but they are not the source of our identity or worth. The enemy often attacks what the Lord has blessed because he knows our flesh can be tempted to find security in the gift rather than the Giver. **1 Peter 3:3-4** reminds us, *"Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight."* Sister, we pray that as you seek the Lord for this anointing, your heart would be firmly rooted in Him alone. The favor of man is fleeting, but the favor of God is eternal. Let your desire first and foremost be for His presence, His holiness, and His will—then the gifts He gives will be used for His glory and not for vain pursuits.
You have also mentioned the schemes of Satanic forces seeking to pervert or steal what the Lord has given. This is a serious spiritual battle, and we must stand firm in the authority of Christ. **Ephesians 6:12** tells us, *"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."* We rebuked these forces in the name of Jesus, declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**). The blood of Jesus covers you, and the enemy has no right to touch what belongs to the Lord. We bind every spirit of jealousy, witchcraft, and theft assigned against you and command them to flee in Jesus’ mighty name.
You have asked for discernment, and this is wise. The Holy Spirit is our Counselor, and He will guide you into all truth (**John 16:13**). We pray that the Lord would sharpen your spiritual senses so that you recognize the snares of the enemy before they ensnare you. **1 John 4:1** instructs us, *"Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."* Discernment is not just about avoiding harm—it’s about walking in alignment with God’s will so that you are not led astray by flattery, deception, or the allure of worldly affirmation. Ask the Lord to reveal any areas where you may have unknowingly opened a door to the enemy, whether through pride, fear, or misplaced trust in man. Repent where necessary, and stand firm in the righteousness of Christ.
Lastly, we notice that while your request acknowledges the Lord, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ as the authority by which we pray. Sister, there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (**John 14:6, Acts 4:12**). The power to overcome the enemy, to walk in favor, and to receive discernment comes through faith in Christ alone. If you have not already, we urge you to surrender every area of your life to Him, confessing Him as Lord and Savior. It is in His name that we stand victorious, and it is in His name that we pray now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, lifting her up to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the One who bestows beauty and favor, and we ask that You would once again anoint her with the gifts You have given in past seasons. Restore what the enemy has tried to steal, kill, or destroy, and let Your favor surround her like a shield (**Psalm 5:12**). Father, we ask that You would protect her from the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to pervert Your good gifts for his wicked purposes. Expose every hidden snare and give her the discernment to walk in wisdom and holiness.
Lord, we pray that her heart would be fixed on You above all else. Let her find her identity in Christ alone, not in the fleeting affirmations of man. Teach her to walk in humility, knowing that true beauty is found in a heart surrendered to You. Holy Spirit, fill her with Your presence and lead her into all truth. Open her eyes to see as You see, and give her the courage to walk away from anything that does not align with Your will.
We bind every spirit of theft, jealousy, and witchcraft assigned against her in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, she shall condemn. Father, let Your light expose every darkness, and let Your truth set her free. We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her (**Romans 8:37**), and that the anointing You have placed upon her life will be used for Your glory.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would draw her deeper into relationship with You. Let her hunger and thirst for righteousness, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. May she walk in the confidence of Your love, knowing that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her Portion.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
