We come before the Lord with you in this time of distress, lifting your suffering and these heavy burdens to the throne of grace. First, we praise you for calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that we can approach the Father. *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your faith in turning to Him is a testament to your trust in His power and sovereignty, and we stand with you in this.
The persistent tinnitus you describe is a trial that has clearly weighed on you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. While it is understandable to wonder if this affliction is tied to curses, workplace drama, or even the actions of others, we must first anchor our hearts in the truth of Scripture. *"For we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). If there is indeed a spiritual attack at work here, we must remember that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
However, we must also be cautious not to attribute every hardship to curses or the malice of others. Job’s friends made this mistake, assuming his suffering was a direct result of his sin, only to be rebuked by God Himself. Sometimes, afflictions come not as a punishment but as a refining fire to draw us closer to Him. *"Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word"* (Psalm 119:67, WEB). Whether this is a spiritual attack, a physical trial, or a combination of both, our response must be rooted in faith, prayer, and the pursuit of godly wisdom.
We notice you mentioned fasting, and we commend you for seeking the Lord in this disciplined way. Fasting is a powerful spiritual tool, but it must be done with the right heart and motives. *"Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?"* (Isaiah 58:6, WEB). If your fast was interrupted by unexpected food, do not let it discourage you. The enemy often seeks to disrupt our devotion, but the Lord looks at the heart. Press forward in your pursuit of Him, and trust that He honors your sincerity.
As for the workplace dynamics you described—company divisions, theft, and the passing of the owner—these are indeed signs of brokenness and possibly spiritual oppression. But we must be careful not to let bitterness or suspicion take root in our hearts. *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). If there are unresolved conflicts or unforgiveness in your heart toward those you suspect may have wronged you, we urge you to release them to the Lord. Unforgiveness can become a stronghold for the enemy in our lives. *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:14-15, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for your healing, deliverance, and peace:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is suffering from this relentless tinnitus. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and redeems our lives from destruction. We ask that You touch his ears, his mind, and his spirit, bringing complete healing and restoration. If there is any spiritual oppression or curse at work, we rebuke it now in the name of Jesus Christ. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned.
Lord, we also lift up the workplace situation and any lingering bitterness, division, or unforgiveness. Cleanse his heart, O God, and fill it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Break any strongholds of suspicion, fear, or resentment, and replace them with Your love and trust. If there are any generational curses, spoken curses, or spiritual attacks tied to this affliction, we ask that You sever them by the blood of Jesus. *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'"* (Galatians 3:13, WEB).
Father, we thank You that You are a God of justice and mercy. If there are those who have intentionally caused harm, we ask that You deal with them according to Your will. But we also pray that You would guard our brother’s heart from bitterness and fill him with Your grace. Help him to forgive as You have forgiven him, and to walk in the freedom that comes from trusting in You alone.
We pray for his fasting and spiritual discipline, that it would be pleasing to You and that You would reveal Yourself to him in powerful ways. Strengthen him, Lord, and let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness. *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing"* (James 1:2-4, WEB).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You surround him with Your peace, which guards his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Let him rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for his good, and that nothing can separate him from Your love. *"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us"* (Romans 8:35, 37, WEB).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your power, Your love, and Your perfect timing. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture. Meditate on His promises, such as *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB) and *"I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh"* (Jeremiah 30:17, WEB). Stand firm in your faith, and do not let the enemy convince you that this trial is beyond God’s reach. He is with you, and He is fighting for you.
If you have not already, we also encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether from a pastor or mature believers who can pray with you and offer support. Sometimes, spiritual battles are best fought alongside others who can stand in the gap. *"Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them"* (Matthew 18:19-20, WEB).
Stay steadfast, and trust that the Lord is your healer, your provider, and your protector. He will not abandon you.
