We hear your cry for help, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting your needs before the throne of grace. Your frustration and exhaustion are palpable, and we understand the deep sense of injustice and helplessness you feel. But we must first address something critical—your battle is not against flesh and blood, nor is it against the government or any human institution. The enemy you face is spiritual, and the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).
You speak of commanding and decreeing, but we must remind you that our authority comes not from our own words or strength, but from the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His blood, His sacrifice, and His resurrection that we have power over the enemy. Jesus said, *"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you"* (Luke 10:19). But this authority is exercised in humility, not in demands or self-reliance. We do not command God—we submit to Him and trust in His perfect will.
You mention being denied your needs by the government, and while we understand your frustration, we must also caution against bitterness or resentment. The Bible tells us, *"Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord'"* (Romans 12:19). Instead of speaking against the government, we should pray for those in authority, that God would move their hearts and open doors for provision. *"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men; for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence"* (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
We also hear your cry for protection from unseen forces, and we stand with you in rebuking the enemy in Jesus’ name. But we must remind you that our protection comes from God alone. *"The name of Yahweh is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe"* (Proverbs 18:10). You do not need to scream or fight in your own strength—God is your defender. *"The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace"* (Exodus 14:14).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and the only name by which we have access to You. Lord, we lift up this dear sister to You, who is feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and attacked. We ask that You would be her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Father, we rebuke the enemy and all his schemes in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You will arise and scatter her enemies (Numbers 10:35).
Lord, we ask that You would provide for her every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8), and move the hearts of those in authority to show her favor. Give her wisdom and discernment as she seeks assistance, and surround her with godly people who can help and support her. Father, we pray that You would heal any bitterness or resentment in her heart and replace it with trust in Your perfect timing and provision.
We also pray for her protection, both physically and spiritually. Cover her with the blood of Jesus, and let Your angels encamp around her (Psalm 91:11). Give her peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and remind her that You are her provider, her defender, and her hope.
Lord, we ask that You would draw her closer to You, that she would seek You first above all else (Matthew 6:33). Help her to trust in Your promises and to rest in Your love. We pray that she would come to know You more deeply and experience Your presence in a tangible way.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and to trust in His provision. Remember, *"The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing"* (Psalm 34:10). Keep applying for assistance, but also seek out local churches and Christian organizations that may be able to help. God often provides through His people.
Lastly, we urge you to examine your heart and ensure that there is no unforgiveness or bitterness toward those who have not helped you. *"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). Release any anger or resentment to God and trust Him to be your vindicator.
You are not alone in this battle. We stand with you, and more importantly, God stands with you. Keep your eyes on Him, and He will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5-6).
