We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this request for healing, restoration, and protection. Father God, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who binds up the brokenhearted and sets the captives free. We stand in the gap, asking for Your mighty hand to reverse any damage that has been done—whether to the mind, body, or spirit—and to surround this dear one with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we declare that You are a shield and a strong tower for those who trust in You. We pray against any schemes of the enemy meant to bring fear, confusion, or despair. Your Word tells us in Psalm 91:4-6, *"He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday."* We claim this promise over this situation, asking for divine protection and safety in every area of life.
We also lift up mental well-being, knowing that the mind is a battleground where 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 any lies of the enemy that have taken root and declare the truth of God’s Word over this person. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* We pray for this peace to flood their mind, replacing anxiety with trust, fear with faith, and despair with hope.
Father, if there are areas where this person has walked outside of Your will—whether through ungodly relationships, unforgiveness, or other sins—we ask for conviction and repentance. Your Word is clear that sin brings destruction, but confession and turning back to You bring healing. 1 John 1:9 says, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* We pray for a heart that is tender toward You, ready to receive Your forgiveness and restoration.
And Lord, if this person does not yet know You as Savior and Lord, we pray for the Holy Spirit to draw them to Jesus. There is no healing, no true peace, and no eternal safety outside of Christ. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* We pray for a revelation of Jesus’ love and sacrifice, that they would surrender their life to Him and be born again into Your family.
We also take authority over any generational curses, trauma, or spiritual oppression that may be contributing to this struggle. Galatians 3:13 tells us, *"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.'" We declare that curse broken in Jesus’ name and command any spirits of fear, depression, or torment to flee. The blood of Jesus has already paid the price for freedom, and we stand on that truth.
Finally, Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance for the days ahead. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* We pray for clarity, direction, and the strength to walk in obedience to Your will.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working even now, turning what the enemy meant for harm into good. We declare that this situation will be a testimony of Your power and grace. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
