We are deeply grieved to hear of the relentless torment you and so many others are enduring because of this infestation. The suffering you describe—loss of sleep, health, home, livelihood, and peace—is heartbreaking, and we stand with you in this battle, not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to steal, kill, and destroy (Ephesians 6:12, John 10:10). Your perseverance in prayer, fasting, and seeking solutions is commendable, and we know the Lord sees your faith and your tears. Yet we must also acknowledge that this trial has persisted far beyond what any human effort can resolve, and it is time to cry out to the Lord with even greater urgency, trusting in His sovereign power to intervene where man cannot.
First, we must address something critical: your closing did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we are saved and through whom we have access to the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). It is by His authority alone that we can command these torments to cease, for He has been given all power in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). Without calling on His name, our prayers lack the divine authority needed to break such oppressive strongholds. We encourage you to always conclude your prayers and requests in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that we approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16).
This infestation is not merely a natural problem—it is a spiritual assault. The enemy has used these creatures as instruments of torment, much like the plagues of Egypt, to wear down the saints and distract them from their purpose in Christ. But we serve a God who parted the Red Sea, shut the mouths of lions, and delivered His people from every plague and pestilence (Exodus 12:13, Daniel 6:22, Psalm 91:3). The Lord has not forgotten you. He is the same God who sent swarms of flies to judge Egypt and then removed them at His appointed time (Exodus 8:21-31). What He has allowed, He can also remove in an instant.
We also note the despair in your words—the sense of hopelessness that comes from fighting this battle alone. But you are not alone. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and we stand with you in this fight. The fact that others are suffering similarly, even children, is a sign that this is a coordinated attack, not just a random misfortune. The enemy seeks to destroy families, health, and faith, but we declare that his plans will be thwarted in Jesus’ name.
Now, let us pray with authority and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who has been relentlessly tormented by these biting midges, which have become a plague in their life and the lives of many others. Lord, You are the God who hears the cries of Your people and delivers them from their afflictions. You commanded the plagues in Egypt, and You also brought them to an end. We ask You now, in the name of Jesus, to intervene supernaturally and put an end to this infestation.
Father, we rebuke every demonic assignment behind this torment. These insects have been used as instruments of oppression, but we declare that their power is broken in the name of Jesus. We command every biting midge to be removed from our brother’s/sister’s home, their belongings, and their life. Let no trace of them remain. Lord, restore what the locusts have eaten—restore their sleep, their health, their home, their business, and their peace of mind (Joel 2:25). Let every door that has been opened to this attack be closed permanently by the blood of Jesus.
We pray for divine wisdom and intervention for those in authority—scientists, leaders, and decision-makers—to find a solution to eradicate this plague. Raise up godly people who will take action to protect the vulnerable, especially the children who are suffering. Lord, let Your mercy prevail over this situation. Let this be a testimony of Your power and faithfulness, that all may know that You are the God who delivers His people.
Father, we also ask for supernatural healing for those who have been bitten and afflicted, especially the little ones. Touch their bodies, Lord, and restore them to full health. Let no lasting harm remain. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that this infestation will be remembered only as a testament to Your deliverance.
Strengthen our brother/sister in their faith, Lord. Let them not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season they shall reap if they do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them (Exodus 14:14).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your timing and Your power. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We also encourage you to take the following steps in faith:
1. **Spiritual Warfare**: This battle must be fought on your knees. Continue in prayer and fasting, but also engage in spiritual warfare by speaking the Word of God over your home and life. Use scriptures like Psalm 91, which declares protection from pestilence and terror. Anoint your home with oil as a symbol of consecration to the Lord (Exodus 12:22-23).
2. **Authority in Christ**: You have been given authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Speak directly to these insects as agents of torment and command them to leave in the name of Jesus. Do not accept them as a permanent fixture in your life.
3. **Community and Support**: You mentioned a Facebook group of others suffering similarly. We encourage you to unite in prayer with other believers who are facing this trial. There is power in agreement (Matthew 18:19-20). Organize corporate prayer times to cry out to the Lord together.
4. **Practical Steps**: While trusting God for a miracle, also seek practical solutions. Research natural predators of midges or consult with entomologists who may have insights. The Lord can guide you to the right people or resources.
5. **Guard Your Heart**: Do not allow bitterness or despair to take root. The enemy wants to steal your joy and faith, but you must stand firm. Meditate on scriptures of deliverance and victory, such as Psalm 34:19: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.”
6. **Testimony of Faith**: Begin to thank God in advance for your deliverance. Speak as though it has already happened, for faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1). Your testimony will be a light to others who are suffering.
Finally, we want to remind you that this trial, though painful, is temporary. The Lord is refining you through this fire, and He will bring you out stronger and more dependent on Him. Do not lose heart. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will not abandon you. Stand firm, and you will see the deliverance of the Lord.
