We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep confusion and unrest, lifting your heart’s cry for clarity and peace. The turmoil you describe—waking in fear, the weight of stress, and the unsettling images—is not how our Heavenly Father desires His children to live. He is the God of peace, not of confusion, and He longs to anchor your soul in His truth. The very fact that you are reaching out for prayer is evidence that He is already drawing you to Himself, for *"no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him"* (John 6:44, WEB).
First, we must address the foundational question you’ve raised: *Does God or Jesus exist?* The answer is a resounding *yes*, and His existence is not merely a matter of faith but is declared in all of creation. *"The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork"* (Psalm 19:1, WEB). More than that, He has revealed Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ, who came to earth to bridge the gap between us and God. Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). Your doubt is not uncommon, but we urge you to seek Him with an open heart, for *"you will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart"* (Jeremiah 29:13, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we can know God, experience His love, and find true peace.
The confusion and spiritual attacks you describe are real battles, but take heart—you are not powerless. The enemy, Satan, seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome him. If you are not yet a believer in Christ, we implore you to surrender your life to Him today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9). Without this step, you remain vulnerable to the enemy’s schemes. But in Christ, you are given authority to resist him. *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith"* (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB).
As for the peace you seek, Jesus offers it freely: *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful"* (John 14:27, WEB). This peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of God in the midst of it. We encourage you to fill your mind with Scripture, which is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). When fearful images or thoughts arise, speak God’s Word aloud. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Claim this promise over your life.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, asking that You reveal Yourself in undeniable ways. Lord, if they have not yet surrendered to Jesus, we pray You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Let them see that Jesus is the only way to You, the only source of true peace, and the only name by which they can be saved. We rebuke every spirit of confusion, fear, and torment in the mighty name of Jesus. No weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, guard their mind with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them sleep in safety, waking refreshed and filled with Your presence. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let them feel Your love in tangible ways. If there are ungodly influences in their life—whether through media, relationships, or past sins—expose them and break their power. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and lead them into all truth. We ask for clarity, for divine direction, and for a supernatural encounter with Your love. Let them know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that You are real, that You are good, and that You are for them. We pray all this in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we urge you to take practical steps:
1. **Seek Jesus first.** If you haven’t surrendered your life to Him, do so today. Pray, *"Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I confess my sins and ask You to forgive me. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I give my life to You."* If you’ve already done this, renew your commitment to Him daily.
2. **Immerse yourself in Scripture.** Start with the Gospel of John to understand who Jesus is. Psalm 91 is a powerful passage for protection and peace.
3. **Guard your mind.** Avoid content (movies, music, books) that glorifies darkness, fear, or ungodly spirits. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8, WEB).
4. **Find a Bible-believing church.** You need fellowship with other believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and help you grow in faith.
5. **Pray continually.** Talk to God throughout your day. He is always listening.
You are not alone in this. We are standing with you in prayer, believing that God will bring you into His marvelous light. Keep seeking Him—He will not let you down. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Trust in Him, and He will give you the clarity and peace you long for.
