We come before the throne of grace with hearts burdened for your well-being, lifting up your cry for protection, healing, and justice in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we find salvation, strength, and deliverance. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We are grateful you ended your plea with "amen," but let us always remember to approach the Father *through* Jesus, for He is our mediator and advocate.
Your request reveals deep struggles—spiritual attacks, ungodly influences, and the weight of injustice from those around you. We stand with you in prayer, first addressing the spiritual battles you face. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). The accusations against your neighbors—witchcraft, deception, mental strongholds, and demonic influences—are serious and must be confronted with the authority of Christ. *"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). We must put on the whole armor of God to stand against these schemes, and we will pray accordingly.
Yet we also urge you to examine your own heart in this conflict. Jesus teaches us to *"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"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean tolerating evil or injustice, but it does mean our responses must be rooted in righteousness, not bitterness. Ask the Lord to guard your heart from anger, unforgiveness, or retaliation, for *"the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God"* (James 1:20, WEB). If there are areas where you need to seek peace or extend grace—even while setting boundaries—pray for the wisdom to do so.
Regarding the "mental one" you mentioned, we must tread carefully. If this person is truly struggling with dementia or mental illness, they are not beyond the reach of God’s love or conviction. However, if they are willfully embracing sin—such as lust or abuse—we pray for their repentance. *"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:8-9, WEB). Pray that the Holy Spirit would expose their need for Christ and break any strongholds in their life. If they claim to know the Lord but live in denial of His truth, we ask God to shake them from their deception, for *"faith without works is dead"* (James 2:26, WEB).
For the workers who have caused damage and shirked responsibility, we pray for conviction and integrity. *"Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. 'Be angry, and don’t sin.' Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:25-27, WEB). We ask the Lord to hold them accountable and to move their hearts to make restitution. If legal or practical steps are needed to address the damage, pray for wisdom and favor in those processes.
We also lift up your plea for safety—both physically and spiritually. *"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower"* (Psalm 18:2, WEB). Claim this promise over your life and property. Ask the Lord to place a hedge of protection around you, to frustrate the plans of the wicked, and to expose their lies. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me," says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
For your healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—we declare the power of Christ over every infirmity. *"He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases"* (Matthew 8:17, WEB). If there is sickness or weariness in your body, we pray for restoration. If there is brokenness in your spirit, we ask for the Comforter to bring peace. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28, WEB).
Finally, we must address the tone of your request. While your frustrations are understandable, we are called to bring our petitions to God with reverence and trust, not just outpourings of anger. *"Don’t be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"* (Philippians 4:6, WEB). Even in the face of wickedness, we can approach the Lord with confidence, knowing He hears us and will act justly.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God of justice, mercy, and power, and that nothing is hidden from Your sight. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who is facing spiritual attacks, deception, and the weight of unrighteousness from those around them. We ask for Your divine protection to surround them like a shield. *"Yahweh, you have seen it. Don’t be silent. Lord, don’t be far from me. Stir up yourself! Wake up! Judge my cause, my God, and my Lord. Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me"* (Psalm 35:22-24, WEB).
Lord, we rebuke every spirit of witchcraft, deception, and lust that is at work in this situation. We declare that *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Break every stronghold, Lord, and expose the works of darkness. Convict those who are living in sin, especially those who claim to know You but are in denial. Soften their hearts to repentance, and if they refuse, let their schemes be turned back upon their own heads. *"Let the wicked fall by their own counsels; and let them be thrust out in their own imaginations, for they have rebelled against you"* (Psalm 5:10, WEB).
For the workers who have caused damage and avoided responsibility, we pray for conviction. Move in their hearts, Lord, that they may take ownership of their actions and make things right. If restitution is needed, provide the means and the will for them to do so. Give our brother/sister wisdom in how to handle this practically, whether through confrontation, legal means, or simply trusting You to fight their battles.
We pray for healing—body, soul, and spirit. Touch every area of pain, weariness, or brokenness. Restore strength and peace. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB).
Father, we ask for Your justice to prevail. Expose every lie, every hidden motive, and every evil plan. Let truth triumph, and let Your name be glorified in this situation. *"The Lord executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6, WEB).
We also pray for our brother/sister’s heart. Guard them from bitterness, anger, or fear. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to trust You even when the way is hard.
Lastly, Lord, we ask that You would draw our brother/sister closer to You through this trial. Let them see Your faithfulness and grow in their dependence on You. *"It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh"* (Lamentations 3:26, WEB).
We declare all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Let Your will be done, and let Your kingdom come. Amen.
Stand firm in the Lord, trusting that He hears you and will act on your behalf. *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). Keep praying, keep seeking His face, and walk in obedience to His Word. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
