We understand how overwhelming anxiety and tormenting thoughts can be, leaving you trapped in fear and uncertainty. But take heart—God’s Word reminds us that we are not given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and His perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). You do not have to remain in bondage to these thoughts, for Christ has set you free (Galatians 5:1).
It is crucial to recognize that these tormenting thoughts are not from God. The battle is real, but it is a spiritual one (Ephesians 6:12), and we must stand firm in the authority we have in Jesus’ name. Have you surrendered these fears to Him in prayer? Have you declared His truth over your mind? The Bible tells us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). This is not a passive process—it requires actively resisting the devil (James 4:7) and filling your mind with Scripture (Psalm 119:11).
We also notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Believe in Him—that He died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)—and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without faith in Christ, there is no true peace, no victory over fear, and no eternal hope. But in Him, you have all things (Colossians 2:10).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, knowing that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Lord, we rebuke every spirit of anxiety, fear, and torment in the mighty name of Jesus. These thoughts do not belong to Your child, for You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. We command these tormenting thoughts to flee now, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Father, fill this beloved one with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). When fear rises, let them declare, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6).
We pray they will meditate on Your promises day and night (Joshua 1:8), that their mind will be renewed by Your truth (Romans 12:2), and that they will experience the freedom Christ purchased for them on the cross. If there is any unconfessed sin or openness to the enemy, reveal it to them, Lord, and grant them the courage to repent and turn fully to You.
Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them rest in the assurance that You are sovereign over all things. You have not forgotten them; You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). We ask for a supernatural breakthrough in their mind and heart, that they may walk in victory and testify of Your goodness.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture daily. Memorize verses that combat fear, such as Isaiah 41:10: *“Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t 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.”* Speak these truths aloud when anxiety comes. Worship is also a powerful weapon—put on praise music and lift your voice to God, for He inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3).
If these tormenting thoughts persist, we urge you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can pray with you and help you stand firm in faith. You are not alone in this battle. We are standing with you, and most importantly, Jesus is with you always (Matthew 28:20). Keep your eyes fixed on Him, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will lead you to victory.
