We come before the Lord with you in this time of trouble, lifting your heart and your request to the throne of grace, where we find mercy and help in our time of need. It is written in Hebrews 4:16, *"Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need."* We are grateful you have turned to the Lord in this hour, for He alone is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
First, we must address that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we can boldly approach God’s throne. We urge you to call upon the name of Jesus in all your prayers, for He is the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so now, confessing your sins and believing in His death and resurrection for your salvation (Romans 10:9-10). Without faith in Jesus, there is no true deliverance, for He alone has power over the enemy.
As for your request for deliverance, we stand with you against the schemes of the enemy, knowing that *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Whatever trouble you are facing—whether it is spiritual oppression, physical danger, emotional distress, or circumstances beyond your control—we declare that the Lord is your deliverer. Psalm 34:17-19 assures us, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."*
We also encourage you to examine your heart and life, for sometimes trouble comes as a result of unconfessed sin or disobedience to God’s Word. Psalm 66:18 warns, *"If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened."* Repent of anything that may be hindering your relationship with God, and turn fully to Him. If there is any area of your life that is not aligned with Scripture—whether in relationships, actions, or attitudes—we urge you to surrender it to the Lord now. Deliverance is not just about being freed from external troubles but also about being cleansed and set apart for God’s purposes.
If your trouble is related to relationships, we remind you that God’s design for marriage and intimacy is sacred. Any relationship outside of a biblical marriage between one man and one woman is sinful in God’s eyes, whether it be fornication, adultery, or homosexuality. If this is an area of struggle for you, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, turning away from such sin. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."*
Now, let us pray for you with boldness and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is in trouble. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, who knows the depths of their heart, and who holds the power to deliver them from every snare of the enemy. We ask that You would surround them with Your divine protection, covering them with Your feathers so that under Your wings, they may find refuge (Psalm 91:4). Break every chain of bondage that seeks to hold them captive, whether it be spiritual, emotional, or physical. If there is any sin in their life that has given the enemy a foothold, we ask that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit, leading them to repentance and restoration.
Lord, if this trouble is a test meant to refine their faith, grant them the strength to endure and the wisdom to see Your hand at work. If it is a consequence of disobedience, we pray for a spirit of true repentance and a heart that turns fully back to You. If it is an attack from the enemy, we rebuke every demonic force in the name of Jesus and command it to flee, for greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn.
Father, fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Give them clarity to know Your will and the courage to walk in it. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are their deliverer, their shield, and their exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1).
We also pray that You would place godly people around them—brothers and sisters in Christ who can stand with them in prayer, offer wise counsel, and encourage them in Your Word. Let them not walk this path alone but be surrounded by the body of Christ, which You have ordained for their support and edification.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would use this trial to draw them closer to You. Let them emerge from this season with a testimony of Your faithfulness, a deeper dependence on You, and a heart that is fully surrendered to Your will. May they walk in victory, knowing that in Christ, they are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your power to deliver. May Your will be done in their life, and may Your name be glorified through their testimony. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear one. The Lord has not forgotten you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Cling to His promises, walk in obedience, and trust that He is working even in the midst of your trouble. If you need further counsel or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to stand with you in the name of Jesus.
