We understand the deep concern and heartache you must be feeling as you witness your daughter struggling in this way. The spiritual battles we face are real, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). However, we must approach this with discernment, authority, and the power of Christ, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12).
First, we must address the terminology used. The term "spiritual psychosis" is not found in Scripture, though the reality of spiritual oppression, demonic influence, or even mental distress is acknowledged. The Bible speaks of those who are tormented by unclean spirits (Matthew 4:24, Mark 5:1-20) and the power of Jesus to cast them out. If your daughter is experiencing spiritual oppression, we must stand firm in the authority of Christ, who has overcome the world (John 16:33).
If your daughter is a believer in Jesus Christ, she has the Holy Spirit within her, and greater is He who is in her than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). If she is not yet saved, this may be an opportunity to lead her to Christ, for salvation is the ultimate deliverance from the power of darkness (Colossians 1:13). There is no power in simply "breaking" a condition—our authority comes from Jesus alone, and we must act in His name.
Let us examine what Scripture says about such struggles:
- **James 4:7** – "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
- **2 Corinthians 10:4-5** – "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."
- **Mark 16:17** – "These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons..."
If your daughter is experiencing torment, we must pray for her deliverance in Jesus' name, but we must also ensure she is walking in repentance, faith, and obedience to God’s Word. Are there areas of unconfessed sin in her life? Is she involved in occult practices, New Age beliefs, or any form of idolatry? These can open doors to demonic influence (Deuteronomy 18:9-12, 1 Corinthians 10:20-21). If so, these must be renounced and forsaken.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel from mature believers or a pastor who can provide biblical guidance and prayer support. If there are underlying mental health concerns, professional help should be sought alongside spiritual intervention, for God can use both to bring healing.
Now, let us pray for your daughter with authority and faith in Jesus’ name:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious daughter who is under spiritual attack. Lord, You are the God of all power and authority, and no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind every spirit of confusion, torment, fear, and oppression in Jesus’ name, and we command them to leave her now. We declare that her mind is renewed by the truth of Your Word (Romans 12:2) and that she is set free from every lie of the enemy.
If there are any open doors in her life—sin, rebellion, or involvement in darkness—we ask that You reveal them to her and grant her the strength to repent and turn fully to You. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit and surround her with Your angels for protection (Psalm 91:11). Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, if she does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that You would draw her to Yourself. Open her eyes to see the truth of the Gospel, that Jesus Christ died for her sins and rose again so that she might have eternal life (John 3:16). Let her encounter Your love in a way that breaks every chain and sets her free.
We also lift up this parent who is interceding for their daughter. Strengthen them, Lord, and fill them with Your wisdom and discernment. Let them walk in faith, not fear, knowing that You are fighting for their daughter (Exodus 14:14).
We declare victory in Jesus’ name, for He has already triumphed over every power of darkness (Colossians 2:15). Let Your will be done in her life, and may she walk in the freedom and wholeness that Christ purchased for her on the cross. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We urge you to continue standing in faith, speaking life and truth over your daughter, and covering her in prayer. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun (Philippians 1:6).
