We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this request for deliverance and healing. First and foremost, we must acknowledge that our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, and it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to 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.
Father God, we stand in the authority of the name of Jesus Christ and declare that every curse, every chain, and every assignment of the enemy against these precious lives is broken right now. The Word of God tells us in Galatians 3:13, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.'" We claim this redemption over them, Lord. We rebuke every spirit of infirmity, every generational curse, and every demonic influence that has sought to oppress them. We command these forces of darkness to flee in the mighty name of Jesus, for we know that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.
We pray for this young man, that You would grant him safe and healthy weight loss, Lord. Guide him in making wise choices regarding his diet and exercise, and fill him with the discipline and self-control that comes from Your Holy Spirit. Remind him that his body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and he should honor You with it. We pray that You would strengthen his resolve and surround him with godly influences who will encourage and support him in this journey.
Father, we also lift up the deep hurts and wounds of the past that he carries. We ask that You would bring healing to every broken place in his heart. Your Word tells us in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." Pour out Your healing balm upon him, Lord. Comfort him with Your presence and remind him that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Help him to release bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We declare that this young man is fearfully and wonderfully made, created for Your purposes and glory. Speak life and truth into his heart, Lord, and let him know how deeply he is loved by You. Surround him with believers who will walk alongside him, encourage him in his faith, and hold him accountable. We pray that he would draw near to You, and in doing so, find the strength, healing, and transformation he needs.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
