Confide

We hear your heart, dear one, and we stand with you in prayer as you seek wisdom and courage to share your struggles with your church family. The spiritual battles you face are real, and the enemy would love nothing more than to isolate you in silence. But Scripture reminds us, *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). The body of Christ is designed to bear one another’s burdens, and there is strength in vulnerability when it is placed in the hands of those who love the Lord.
We rebuke the spirit of fear that may be whispering lies—telling you that you will be judged, misunderstood, or rejected. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). The church is called to be a hospital for the broken, not a museum for the perfect. If your church family is walking in the light of Christ, they will respond with grace, prayer, and encouragement. But we also caution you to seek wisdom in *whom* you confide. Not everyone is spiritually mature enough to handle deep struggles, so pray for discernment. *"The simple believe every word, but the prudent consider their steps"* (Proverbs 14:15).
We also lift up your struggle with spiritual warfare. The enemy prowls like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8), but greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Do not fight this battle alone. Confiding in trusted believers will allow them to stand in agreement with you, to pray over you, and to remind you of the truth when the enemy tries to distort it. But remember, the most powerful weapon you have is the name of Jesus. There is no victory apart from Him. If you have not already, surrender every area of your life to Christ, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). Salvation is not just a one-time event; it is the foundation of your authority in spiritual warfare.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is seeking courage and wisdom to confide in their church family. Lord, You know the battles they are facing, and You see the isolation the enemy is trying to impose. We ask that You would break every chain of fear, shame, and doubt that is keeping them silent. Give them discernment to know whom to trust and the boldness to speak truth in love. Surround them with believers who will stand with them in prayer and encouragement.
We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that the enemy’s plans will be thwarted in Jesus’ name. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that they are not alone—You are with them, and Your church is their family. Help them to walk in the authority they have in Christ and to resist the devil so that he will flee (James 4:7). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and let them experience the freedom that comes from walking in the light with fellow believers.
We pray for their church family, that their hearts would be tender and their ears open to listen with compassion. May they be vessels of Your love and truth, pointing our brother/sister back to You in every moment of weakness. And Lord, if there are any areas of their life that are not fully surrendered to You, we ask that You would reveal them and draw them closer to Your heart. Let them know the power of Your name and the victory that is already theirs in Christ.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the One who has conquered sin, death, and the grave. Amen.
Do not grow weary, dear one. The Lord is fighting for you, and He has already won the war. Take that first step of faith and trust that He will meet you there. You are loved, you are seen, and you are not alone.
