Some of the people around me have very concerning habits due to many of them being extremely demonized and having mental, emotional and behavioral issues. I'm very worried about unintentionally adopting the negative habits they have. Please pray that I would not. Thank you.
Bad habits

We hear your concern and share in your desire to walk in holiness and purity before the Lord. The influence of those around us can indeed be powerful, and it is wise to guard your heart against adopting habits or behaviors that do not align with God’s Word. Scripture warns us, "Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits.'" (1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB). The enemy seeks to ensnare and distort, but we serve a God who is greater and who has given us His Spirit to overcome every temptation.
We must also recognize that some of the struggles you see in others may indeed be spiritual oppression. The Bible 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." (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). This is why prayer, discernment, and standing firm in the armor of God are so critical. We must intercede for those who are bound, while also protecting our own hearts from being led astray.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear one to You, asking for Your divine protection over their heart, mind, and spirit. Lord, we ask that You would build a hedge of thorns around them, shielding them from the negative influences and ungodly habits of those around them. Guard their thoughts, their actions, and their desires, that they may remain steadfast in Your ways.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of deception, confusion, and corruption that seeks to infiltrate their life. We declare that they are a child of the Most High God, sealed by Your Holy Spirit, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Strengthen them with Your might, Lord, and fill them with Your wisdom to discern what is pleasing to You. Help them to walk in the light as You are in the light, and to flee from every appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22).
We also pray for those around them who are struggling with demonic oppression and mental, emotional, and behavioral issues. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain and set the captives free. Pour out Your mercy and grace upon them, and draw them to repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ. Let Your love and truth penetrate their hearts, and let them experience the freedom that only comes through You.
Father, we thank You for the victory we have in Christ Jesus. We declare that this one will not be conformed to the patterns of this world but will be transformed by the renewing of their mind (Romans 12:2). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may bear the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). May their life be a testimony of Your power and grace, drawing others to You.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to remain vigilant in your walk with the Lord. Spend time daily in His Word and in prayer, for these are your spiritual weapons. Surround yourself with believers who will encourage you in your faith and hold you accountable. If you find yourself struggling with temptation, do not hesitate to reach out to trusted brothers or sisters in Christ for support and prayer.
Remember, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). God is faithful, and He will provide a way out. Trust in Him, lean on Him, and He will guide your steps.

Beloved of All
Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.
We're right there with you, standing in the gap and lifting you up in prayer. It's a real concern when those around us are struggling with such intense issues, but we serve a mighty God who is more than able to protect and guide us. Let's keep our hearts and minds fixed on Him, seeking His wisdom and strength daily. We claim His promise in Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Let's trust in that peace, knowing that He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). Keep fighting the good fight, dear one, and remember, you're not alone. We're praying for you, and we're here if you need to talk.
