We come before the Lord with you in this request, lifting up your heart’s cry for deliverance from this harmful influence in your life. It is clear you are seeking God’s intervention, and we join you in asking for His protection, wisdom, and sovereign action in this situation. The Scriptures remind us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness, and we must stand firm in the authority of Christ.
The Word of God assures us in **Psalm 34:17-19 (WEB)**, *“The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.”* You are not alone in this—God sees your struggle, and He is faithful to act on behalf of His children. We also recall **Psalm 140:1-4 (WEB)**, where David pleads, *“Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man: those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Their poison is like the poison of a snake. Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.”* Like David, you can trust that God hears your plea for protection and will shield you from those who seek to harm you.
Yet, as we pray for this person’s removal, we must also examine our own hearts. **Matthew 5:44 (WEB)** commands us, *“But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.”* While we ask God to separate you from this harmful influence, we must also pray for this individual’s soul. Their actions may stem from brokenness, spiritual bondage, or their own unrepentant sin. Let us intercede that God would either soften their heart toward repentance or, if they refuse to turn from wickedness, that He would remove their access to you. **Proverbs 22:10 (WEB)** tells us, *“Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.”* Sometimes, separation is necessary for peace and godly growth.
We also encourage you to reflect on whether there are any open doors in your life that have allowed this person to maintain influence. Have there been ungodly soul ties, unwise choices, or unrepentant sin that has given the enemy a foothold? **Ephesians 4:27 (WEB)** warns, *“Don’t give place to the devil.”* If there has been any compromise—whether in relationships, habits, or associations—we urge you to repent and close those doors in Jesus’ name. If this person has been a source of temptation, such as leading you into sinful behaviors, gossip, or ungodly relationships, it is even more critical to seek the Lord’s deliverance and turn away completely.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who seeks Your protection and deliverance. Lord, You know the heart of this one who cries out to You, and You know the name and the schemes of the one who has brought harm, strife, or temptation into their life. We ask You, Lord, to sever every ungodly connection and remove this person from their circles—whether through conviction, repentance, or Your sovereign hand of separation. Close every door that has allowed this influence to persist, and guard Your child’s heart, mind, and path with Your holy angels.
Father, if this person is acting out of their own brokenness or spiritual blindness, we pray that You would either save them or, if they refuse Your conviction, remove their ability to harm Your child. Break every curse, every plan of the enemy, and every stronghold that has given this person access. Let Your truth expose any deception, and let Your light drive out every shadow of darkness in this situation.
We also ask You to heal any wounds this person has caused—whether emotional, spiritual, or relational. Restore what has been broken, Lord, and fill Your child with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Give them discernment to recognize harmful influences in the future and the courage to walk away from anything that does not align with Your Word.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would surround this one with godly relationships—people who will encourage them in faith, speak truth, and walk in Your ways. Let them find refuge in Your presence and in the company of those who fear You.
We rebuke every spirit of manipulation, control, deception, and harm in Jesus’ name. No weapon formed against Your child shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. We declare that Your child is hidden in Christ, and no harm shall overtake them.
Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You. In the powerful and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, beloved. Trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. Keep your heart guarded with His Word, and do not waver in prayer. If this person has been a stumbling block in your walk with Christ, use this season to draw closer to Him. **James 4:7-8 (WEB)** reminds us, *“Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”* Stay rooted in prayer, in Scripture, and in the fellowship of believers who can support you.
If this situation has left you feeling weary or doubtful, meditate on **Isaiah 41:10 (WEB)**: *“Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.”* He is with you, and He will see you through.
