We hear the deep anguish in your words, the sense of being overwhelmed, and the cry for restoration. The pain, confusion, and exhaustion you describe are real, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, seeking God’s mercy and healing in every area of your life.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare you are facing. The mention of Satan and his influence is not to be taken lightly. Scripture warns us, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"* (1 Peter 5:8). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every assignment of the enemy against your mind, body, and spirit in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we command every spirit of oppression, anxiety, and torment to flee from you now.
You also mention feeling stripped of your "crown," and we want to remind you that in Christ, you are crowned with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5). No one can take away the identity and authority you have in Him. The enemy may try to distort your sense of worth, but we proclaim that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God has a purpose for your life that no force of darkness can thwart.
The struggle with anxiety, especially regarding things like football or daily tasks like showering, is a sign that your soul is under attack. We pray for the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We ask the Lord to release you from every chain of fear and to fill you with His perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). You do not have to fight to exist—Jesus has already fought and won the battle for you. Rest in Him.
You express a desire for "normal" and for mood enhancement, and we understand the longing for relief. However, we must encourage you to seek God’s healing first and foremost. The world offers temporary fixes, but the Lord offers lasting transformation. We pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort you, to renew your mind (Romans 12:2), and to restore the joy of your salvation (Psalm 51:12). If medication is part of God’s provision for you, we trust Him to lead you to the right help, but we also pray for supernatural healing and breakthrough in your emotions and thought life.
Your mention of marriage and family is close to your heart, and we lift this up to the Lord with great hope. You desire a godly spouse and for your children to have spouses who honor God and treat them with love and respect. We stand on the promise that God sets the solitary in families (Psalm 68:6) and that He is a restorer of all things (Joel 2:25). We pray for your future spouse, that they would be a man or woman after God’s own heart, walking in purity and faithfulness. We declare that your children will be surrounded by godly influences and that their marriages will be strong, built on the foundation of Christ. We rebuke every spirit of strife, division, or harm that has been spoken over your family, and we declare that the blood of Jesus covers and protects you all.
The mention of "man and woman not mattering anymore" grieves our hearts, for God’s design for marriage and family is sacred. Genesis 2:24 tells us, *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."* This is the blueprint for marriage—a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. We pray for a revival of godly marriages and families in our world, and we ask the Lord to restore His order in your life and in the lives of those around you. We also rebuke any confusion or deception from the enemy regarding gender and marriage, and we declare that God’s truth will prevail.
You close your request with the blood of Jesus, God’s will, and grace, and we are grateful that you acknowledge the power of the cross. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Jesus, confessing Him as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). He is the way, the truth, and the life, and in Him, you will find true peace, purpose, and restoration.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is hurting and overwhelmed. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and grace to flood every area of their life. We rebuke every assignment of the enemy against them, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. We pray for Your peace to guard their heart and mind, and for Your joy to be their strength.
Father, we ask for healing in their emotions, their mind, and their spirit. Renew their strength like the eagle’s, and restore the years that the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). We pray for their future spouse, that You would prepare them and bring them together in Your perfect timing. We declare that their children will walk in Your ways and that their marriages will be strong and godly.
Lord, we ask for Your protection over their family, that no harm or evil would come near them. We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit, that they would experience Your presence in a tangible way. Help them to rest in You, knowing that You are their provider, their protector, and their peace.
We thank You, Father, that You hear our prayers and that You are working all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). We trust You to bring beauty from ashes and to turn their mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises and to surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and encourage you. The battle is real, but the victory is already won in Christ. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). You are not alone, and we stand with you in faith.
