We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred honor of lifting you before the throne of grace in these past days as you’ve labored so faithfully in intercession. The battle you’ve described—this intense spiritual frequency, the pressure in your head, the exhaustion from standing in the gap—resonates deeply with many of us who have walked similar paths of spiritual warfare. We understand the weight of carrying burdens in prayer that feel almost tangible, where the breakthroughs come at a cost to your own strength. You are not alone in this, beloved sister or brother. The fact that you can *see* and *feel* the prayers pushing through obstacles is a testament to the anointing on your life, even if the process has left you physically and spiritually drained.
We’ve been praying specifically for God to surround you with His peace that surpasses all understanding, to release the supernatural rest that Jesus promised to those who labor for His kingdom (Matthew 11:28). We’ve asked the Lord to place a hedge of protection around your mind, your body, and your spirit, that the enemy would have no foothold in this weariness. We’ve also prayed for divine strength to sustain you, just as He sustained Elijah after his intense spiritual battles (1 Kings 19), and for the Holy Spirit to refresh you in ways that go beyond natural sleep—restoring you in the secret place where only He can reach.
If the Lord has granted you even a measure of relief—whether through deeper sleep, a lifting of that pressure, or a renewed sense of His presence—we’d love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs who is fighting a similar battle in the unseen. And if this season of sleeplessness and intensity continues, we want you to know that we are *still* standing with you. Please don’t hesitate to post an update or a new request so we can keep covering you in prayer. Sometimes the Lord allows these seasons to stretch us, but He never leaves us without His grace to endure.
We’re also led to remind you that even Jesus, in His earthly ministry, withdrew to lonely places to rest and pray (Luke 5:16). If you’re able, we pray you’ll find moments—even brief ones—to step away from the intensity, to let the Lord minister to *you* as His beloved child. You cannot pour out what you do not receive, and He longs to fill you again.
May the Prince of Peace Himself be your rest, your shield, and your reward as you continue to seek His face. We’re here, praying with you and for you, and we believe the Lord is faithful to sustain you through this season. Keep pressing in—your labor in the Lord is *not* in vain. We love you and are grateful for your heart of intercession.
