Father please grant ### Your joy, goodness, peace and calm, protection, deliverance from evil (Mt 6:13; 2Thessalonians 3:2-3) Please grant all needs spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial be met through Your riches in glory. Thank and Praise You in Advance in Jesus Name Amen.
We join you in this prayer and we thank you for humbling yourself before the Lord to repent of fear and to call upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we have authority over every lie and every spirit of fear.
We hear your heart crying out for protection over your joy and over every good thing God has placed in you, and we stand with you against these attacks. The enemy comes to steal and to kill and to destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly as it says in John 10:10. We rebuke together every spirit of fear, anxiety, paranoia and hallucination and every lie of the enemy that would try to torment your mind and steal your peace, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control as promised in 2 Timothy 1:7.
We are reminded that perfect love casts out fear in 1 John 4:18 and that when we seek the Lord He answers us and delivers us from all our fears as in Psalm 34:4. The Lord Himself says do not be afraid, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness in Isaiah 41:10. You do not need to believe the whispering lies that bring paranoia and hallucinations, but you can take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ as in 2 Corinthians 10:5 and be transformed by the renewing of your mind in Romans 12:2. We encourage you to resist the devil and he will flee from you as in James 4:7 by submitting yourself fully to God, staying in His Word, in prayer and in worship, and letting His truth be your filter for every thought.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for this precious one who has repented and turned to You. We ask You to forgive and cleanse and to fill this heart with Your perfect love that casts out all fear. We ask You to protect the joy You have given, for the joy of the Lord is our strength in Nehemiah 8:10, and let no weapon formed against this child of Yours prosper. We command every spirit of fear, anxiety, paranoia and hallucination to leave now in Jesus name and we ask You to silence every lie of the enemy. Guard this mind and heart with Your peace which surpasses all understanding in Philippians 4:6-7, and help our dear one to believe You and Your Word all the time, to fix the eyes on You and not on the storm. Renew this mind, restore soundness and clarity, and let Your light expose every darkness. We declare that You did not give a spirit of slavery again to fear, but a spirit of adoption as children by which we cry Abba Father in Romans 8:15. Fill this life with Your power, love and a sound mind, and let Your joy and every good gift remain and flourish. We trust You to complete the good work You have begun. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in Christ daily, to speak Scripture aloud over yourself when fear rises, to worship and to bring every anxious thought to God in prayer with thanksgiving, and to stay in fellowship with mature believers who can pray with you and help you discern truth. If these distressing thoughts and hallucinations persist, please reach out to a trusted pastor and to a godly counselor for ongoing support while you continue to stand firmly on the Word. The Lord is near to you, He will keep you in perfect peace when your mind is stayed on Him.

We hear the weariness in your prayer and the deep desire to protect the joy God has put in you. Wanting to turn from fear and to trust Him more fully is a good and honest place to come to Him, and we thank you for sharing it so openly.
Fear can be loud and make lies feel very true, even when you know in your heart you want to believe God instead. You are not alone in that struggle, and God is not distant from you in it. He sees you and stays near when the thoughts feel overwhelming.
One steady next step that can help is to not carry this alone. If the anxiety, paranoia, or seeing or hearing things that others do not continues or feels frightening, please reach out soon to a trusted pastor or Christian counselor and also to a medical professional who can listen and help you get care. Reaching for help is a wise way to care for yourself while we continue to pray, not instead of prayer.
Father, we lift our friend to You now. Cover their heart and mind with Your peace, guard the good You have planted in them, quiet the voices of fear and lies, and help them rest in what is true about You. Give them courage to reach for support and to feel Your nearness day by day. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your prayer against fear and the attacks upon your joy has been heard, and there is hope for one who feels as you do, as one with a dread settled like a vampire upon the soul, dragging down all hope and joy.
The Lord is gracious and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, I have found a ransom. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance from the pit through a ransom if God had not thought of it, and He has not only invented the way but He has found the ransom Himself, and it is the gift of Divine Love in His Son Jesus Christ. Your salvation, your deliverance from the power of darkness, and your peace of mind lie not in your own feelings or weepings or prayers, but in Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ alone, whose sacrifice possesses such boundless efficacy that none need fear it will fall short of their need.
Scripture says, He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and deliverance from the power of sin and from the guilt of sin is as much the work of God as any other mercy, and we must look to our heavenly Father altogether and alone for it. What you describe, this fear, anxiety, paranoia and troubled thoughts, would swallow you up, but if all the forces on earth are not sufficient to save His saint, God will send sufficient reserves from the ranks of the heavenly host to preserve His people. He has not given you over. As long as the Father chastens His child He has hope for him, and that which comes even through the malice of the enemy, God in love can use for your good, to keep back your soul from the Pit and your life from perishing.
Hear also the word of the Lord to such as you are, Fear not, thou worm Jacob, I will help thee, saith the Lord. We must labor to get rid of fear, for fear is weakening and fear dishonors God. Shall we doubt the Eternal and distrust the Omnipotent whose arm piled the heavens and sustains the pillars of the earth. Faith in God is the divinest exercise of the mind, to believe in God and His Christ is to be reconciled to Him, and simple faith brings you into unison with Him whom you trust.
So we pray for you now, that the God who keeps back the soul from the Pit would protect the joy and every good thing He has wrought in you, and stop these attacks. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask the Father to remove the spirit of fear, for God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind, and to lift from you anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations, and all the lies of the enemy that would make you believe what is not true. May He deliver you from the power of darkness that seeks to hide His truth from you, and give you grace to believe Him at all times, to rest upon the ransom found, and to find your life hidden with Christ and free from fear because all your interests are secure in Him.
May you be able to say with the Psalmist, The Lord has chastened me sorely but He has not given me over unto death, I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord, and may you be kept in perfect peace as you cast yourself upon your God in Christ, who having made you free, makes you free indeed. Amen.
