Beloved of All
No ### ENERGY VAMPIRES TODAY. Lord protect me from people and events who would take my TIME, ENERGY, DIGNITY or MONEY in Jesus name. Protect me from people who some name TROLLS. Enjoying making mess, and confusion, controlling or manipulating people. Including my brother and the majority of my collegues at work. You would think tjat i am only criticizing people but in the last days - you know what is written in the Bible.

WE ARE THE LIGHT IN THIS DARK WORLD. WE CANNOT BE HIDDEN. LORD FILL UP MY LAMP IN JESUS NAME. LET ME BE THE KINGDOM CITY ON THE HILL.
 
We join with you in this prayer for protection and for strength to remain as light in a dark world, and we hear your heart to guard what God has entrusted to you, your time, your energy, your dignity, and your resources.

We understand the exhaustion that comes from dealing with people who stir up confusion, who seek to control or manipulate, who seem to enjoy making a mess of things, whether at work or even within family like your brother. The term energy vampires is not a biblical term, but the reality behind what you describe is very biblical. Scripture does not teach that people can steal our energy in a mystical sense, but it does teach that there is spiritual warfare and that people can be difficult, deceptive, and draining, and that we must guard our hearts and walk in wisdom. As it is written, For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the worlds rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. And also, Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life Proverbs 4:23.

You are right to discern the times. In the last days, grievous times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God 2 Timothy 3:1-4. We are not merely criticizing people when we name these things, we are agreeing with what God has already warned us about, so that we can walk wisely and not be taken by surprise.

At the same time we are called not to return evil for evil, but to love even those who drain and trouble us. Jesus said, But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you Matthew 5:44. And, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18. This does not mean we allow ourselves to be continually manipulated or robbed of time and dignity. It means we set godly boundaries, we speak truth in love, and we entrust ourselves to God who is our protector. Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more Psalm 121:7-8.

You prayed to be the light and the city on the hill and for your lamp to be filled, and this is exactly what God desires for you. You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cant be hidden Matthew 5:14, and Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven Matthew 5:16. To keep that lamp filled we must stay close to Jesus and to His Word, for Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path Psalm 119:105, and we must walk wisely, redeeming the time, because the days are evil Ephesians 5:16.

We pray together with you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we have access to You and by which we are saved. We ask You to cover our brother and sister with Your protection today. Guard their time, their energy, their dignity which comes from being made in Your image, and the resources You have provided. Give wisdom to set healthy and biblical boundaries at work and with family, to say no when needed, to speak with grace and truth, and to not be drawn into confusion, manipulation, or strife. We pray for their brother and for their colleagues, that You would bring conviction where there is controlling or trolling behavior, and bring peace where there is turmoil. Help us to forgive as You have forgiven us, and to not grow bitter. Fill their lamp with fresh oil of Your Holy Spirit, renew their strength, and make them a faithful city on a hill that cannot be hidden, reflecting the light of Christ in this dark world. Let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. We ask all of this in Jesus name, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to put on the whole armor of God each day Ephesians 6:11, to remain in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship, and to trust that God sees every attempt to take what is not given and He will be your defender and restorer.
 
We hear the weariness in your prayer and we are standing with you in it. Wanting to guard your time, energy, dignity and resources is not complaining, it is wise stewardship, especially when work and even family feel draining or manipulative. It makes sense you would feel on guard right now.

We think of boundaries as a kind of property line. They help us know what is ours to carry and what is not, so we can stay both connected to people and free to say a clear yes or a clear no. Being the light does not mean being open to everyone for everything. Sometimes staying bright means stepping back, keeping a limit, and letting God refill the lamp.

One small step that often helps is to pick just one area you named, maybe time at work or conversations with your brother, and decide ahead of time what a healthy limit looks like there. A brief, kind, consistent response can protect you without a long explanation, and having one trusted person to check in with helps you stay steady.

Father, we ask You to cover and keep our brother today. Guard his heart and renew his strength where he feels drained. Give him wisdom to know when to engage and when to step away, and fill his lamp fresh with Your presence and peace. Lead him to supportive relationships that honor You. In Jesus name, amen.
 
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
 
Your cry unto the Lord for protection has been heard, and it is a right and needful prayer in a world that is indeed dark and full of confusion. You speak of those who would drain your time and strength, who make a sport of stirring up strife and who seek to control and manipulate, and you feel this keenly in your own family and among those with whom you labour. The Scripture foretold that in the last days perilous times would come, when men would be lovers of their own selves and without natural affection, and we need not wonder when we see these things come to pass.

There is a promise for such an hour as this, and it is for those who walk in the appointed ways of God. He who travels on the King's Highway is under the King's protection, but he who takes to byroads must protect himself, and the probability is that he will meet with robbers who will make him rue the day that he ever turned aside. The Lord has given His angels charge over His people to keep them in all their ways, and you will always need Divine and angelic keeping, for God would not have charged His angels to keep His people in all their ways if they did not need protection in all their ways. This protection is perpetual as well as personal, not for a moment only, but for all the days of your pilgrimage, if you abide in Christ and grapple the truths of God to you as with hooks of steel.

You have prayed rightly, WE ARE THE LIGHT IN THIS DARK WORLD, and so the Scripture declares. Ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. But a lamp without oil gives no light. Your prayer, Lord fill up my lamp, is the prayer of the wise virgin. It is the Spirit of God alone who can fill you, and keep you burning and shining. Those who have been quickened and made to live and introduced into the family of God have one never failing mark, they are led by the Spirit of God, and they are taught to pray. God grant that private prayer may be more diligently and more spiritually maintained, for there in the closet the oil is received. Keep to family prayer and secret prayer, for it is the nutriment of piety and the castle of the soul against the intrusions of the world.

Do not meet confusion with confusion, nor manipulation with the same. Commit your brother and your colleagues unto the Lord in prayer, that He would work in them what is well pleasing in His sight, and keep your own heart with all diligence. Walk in the way of uprightness and truth, speak the truth in love, set bounds to your time and strength as stewardship before God, and trust Him to guard your dignity and your substance, for all things are yours if you are Christ's.

Let us pray together.

O Lord our God, our Keeper and our Shield, we ask Thee in the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son to set Thy charge over this Thy servant in all his ways. Cover him under Thy wings and let Thy angels keep him where Thou hast appointed his steps. Preserve his time and strength and dignity from those who would waste or wound them, and deliver him from the spirit of confusion and control. Fill his lamp afresh with the oil of Thy Holy Spirit, that he may shine as a light in this dark world and be as a city set on a hill for Thy glory. Grant him wisdom to walk uprightly, grace to forgive and to love those who oppose him, and peace in knowing that Thou exaltest the lowly and keepest all Thine own. We ask this not for our merit, but for Jesus sake. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
Your request for protection and strength has been heard, and I join you in bringing it before the Lord. It is exhausting to feel drained by people who take your time, energy, dignity and resources, and who seem to enjoy bringing confusion, control and manipulation. It is especially painful when this comes from family, like your brother, and from those you must work alongside every day.

The Bible does speak of difficult times in the last days, when people will be lovers of themselves, harsh, slanderous and without self control, as Paul writes to Timothy. So your discernment that not everyone intends good is not wrong. At the same time, Scripture calls us to guard our hearts with wisdom while not giving way to bitterness or to seeing every person as an enemy. God calls us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves, to set healthy boundaries with those who manipulate or stir up strife, and to not repay evil for evil.

You also expressed a beautiful desire to be light in a dark world, a city on a hill whose lamp is full. Jesus teaches that we are the light of the world, and that a city on a hill cannot be hidden. To keep your lamp filled is to stay close to Christ Himself, through prayer, through His Word, through walking in obedience and through the filling of the Holy Spirit. It is not by our own energy that we shine, but by His grace at work in us. Part of shining is also becoming like our Father in heaven, who makes His sun to shine on the evil and the good, by being ready to forgive those who wrong us, even as we wisely protect what God has entrusted to us. Your time, energy, dignity and money are gifts from God to be stewarded, and it is right to ask Him for wisdom to use them well and to not let them be wasted or stolen through strife.

Let us pray together.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, I lift up this dear one to You. You see the weariness and the pressure from people who cause confusion and who try to control and manipulate. Lord, place Your protection around Your child. Guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Give wisdom to set right boundaries, to use time and energy and resources in a way that honors You, and to preserve dignity as one made in Your image. Protect from those who would sow trouble as trolls do, and do not let their schemes take root. Help to respond not with anger or fear, but with grace, truth and firmness.

Fill his lamp with fresh oil by Your Holy Spirit. Make his life a steady light that points to Christ, a kingdom city on a hill that cannot be hidden. Help him to live for the good of others where possible, using every gift You have given for Your glory, and to forgive as You have forgiven, while walking in holiness and discernment. Keep him from growing cynical, and renew his strength day by day. Let Your peace rule in his home and workplace, and let Your will be done. In the name of Jesus our only hope and Savior, Amen.
