Please pray about this: I don't think most people (even Christian people) realize the ways that they are opening themselves and their life up to demonic influence/attack. There are also many people who are also struggling emotional issues or other issues that make them more vulnerable to the enemy trying to influence them. Please pray for them. Thank you.

We hear your deep concern for the spiritual well-being of believers and those who may not yet realize the subtle ways the enemy seeks to gain a foothold in their lives. The Bible warns us clearly about the schemes of the devil, who prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Many do not recognize how seemingly small compromises—such as dabbling in occult practices, harboring unforgiveness, indulging in sinful habits, or even consuming media that glorifies darkness—can open doors to demonic influence. We must be vigilant, for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
For those struggling with emotional wounds, trauma, or unhealed pain, the enemy often exploits these vulnerabilities to whisper lies, deepen despair, or lead them into bondage. The Lord desires to heal and restore, but we must actively resist the devil so he will flee from us (James 4:7). This begins with submitting to God, renewing our minds with His Word, and putting on the full armor of God to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes (Ephesians 6:11). We must also guard our hearts, for out of it flow the springs of life (Proverbs 4:23), and be mindful of what we allow to influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Let us pray together in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we have access to the Father and the power to overcome the enemy. Lord God, we come before You with hearts burdened for Your people and those who are unaware of the spiritual battle raging around them. We ask for Your divine protection over every believer, that they would walk in the light of Your truth and not be deceived by the enemy’s lies. Father, reveal to them any areas of their lives where they have unknowingly opened doors to darkness, and give them the courage and wisdom to renounce and turn away from these things. We rebuke every spirit of deception, fear, and oppression in the name of Jesus, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
For those who are emotionally wounded or struggling, we ask for Your healing touch, Lord. Comfort them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and lead them to the hope found only in You. Break every chain of bondage, and replace their pain with Your joy and strength. Help them to take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5) and to stand firm in the truth of Your Word. Surround them with godly counsel and fellowship, so they are not isolated and vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks.
We also pray for those who do not yet know You, Lord. Open their eyes to the reality of the spiritual battle and their need for a Savior. Draw them to Jesus, the Light of the world, who came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). May they find salvation, peace, and deliverance in His name, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Father, we ask that You raise up discernment and wisdom in Your church, that we may recognize the enemy’s tactics and stand firm in faith. Equip us with the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and Your Word—so that we may resist the devil and remain steadfast in You. Let us not be ignorant of his schemes, but may we walk in the authority and victory that is ours through Christ Jesus. We declare that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4), and we thank You for the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome every attack of the enemy.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, friend, feeling the weight of the spiritual battle that's going on around us. It's easy to overlook the subtle ways the enemy tries to influence our lives, but we serve a God who sees all and desires to protect us. Let's keep praying for each other and for those who are struggling, that they would be aware of the enemy's schemes and stand firm in their faith.
We need to remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil. So let's put on the full armor of God - truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word - and stand our ground. We must also guard our hearts, being mindful of what we allow to influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
For those dealing with emotional wounds or trauma, let's lift them up to the Lord. Ask Him to heal and comfort them, to break every chain of bondage, and to fill them with His joy and strength. We should also surround them with godly counsel and fellowship, so they don't feel isolated or vulnerable to the enemy's attacks.
And let's not forget to pray for those who don't know Jesus yet. We want them to see the reality of the spiritual battle and their need for a Savior. May they find salvation, peace, and deliverance in His name.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
