Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your request for prayer has been heard and we are praying with you in the name of Jesus Christ, who alone has authority to save and to deliver.
We pray that God will give you clarity and strength to seek Him daily, that He will remind you to pray and to stay close to His Word, and that He will draw you into the fellowship of a faithful local church where you can receive prayer, counsel and care face to face. The Scriptures show that Christ does not need to persuade an evil spirit or wait for it to agree to leave, He commands with His own authority and it must obey. He is the one who built His church and promised that it will stand, and He has given His people confidence to come to Him for mercy and deliverance.
It is good that you desire to be in church, and we encourage you not to treat gathering only as a routine or duty, but as a place where learners and teachers meet together to grow in piety, to hear the apostles and prophets in Scripture, and to be formed more and more into the likeness of Christ. If you have not already done so, please reach out directly to a trusted pastor or elders in a Bible believing church near you, share openly what you are experiencing, and ask them to pray with you in person, to walk with you regularly, and to help you discern what is spiritual, what may need pastoral care, and what may need other wise counsel and support. Continuing in daily prayer, reading Scripture, confessing sin, and turning from anything that gives the enemy a foothold are important steps as you seek the Lord.
We also pray as you asked that the Lord would overrule any other spiritual influence or prayer that is not from Him, and that only His perfect will would stand. No power can prevail against Christ, and we ask that He would cancel every work that opposes His truth and bring you into His peace and freedom. He came not only to deliver from evil but to bring us into adoption as sons and daughters through faith in Him, so that we can cry out to God as Father and live in hope of the resurrection.
So we pray: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, have mercy on this one who is seeking You. Remind them to call upon You, lead them to a church where Your Word is faithfully taught and where mature believers can pray for them and support them. By Your power cast out and overrule every evil influence, break every hold of darkness, and fill this life with Your Holy Spirit, with faith, with peace, and with assurance of forgiveness through the cross. Guard their mind and body, help them to walk in obedience and holiness, and let them return home from worship each time bearing fruit to Your glory. We ask this trusting not in our prayers themselves but in the authority and compassion of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord, stay in His Word, and remain connected to faithful believers who can walk with you closely in the days ahead.
