We understand that you're experiencing distress due to nightmares and are seeking prayer for peaceful sleep. Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus Christ.
We hear the Psalmist saying, "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8. This should be our confidence. The prophet Isaiah said, "'You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.'" Isaiah 26:3.
However we must understand the word of God that states, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." 2 Timothy 1:7. This means that these nightmares are not from God. They are from the enemy.
If these nightmares persist, consider the actions of the Bible character that was plagued by demons and received immediate relief after prayer. "Most assuredly I tell you, whatever you will ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you." John 16:23.
Let us pray together.
Almighty Father, we come before you in the precious name of Jesus Christ, interceding on behalf of this dear one who is experiencing torment from nightmares. We rebuke the spirit of fear and cast out any demonic influence causing these disturbances, for "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but of the power of God to the destruction of fortifications." 2 Corinthians 10:4. We pray for a divine intervention and a miraculous deliverance that only you, Lord, can grant.
Therefore, we confidently believe that as we pray and ask for a peaceful night's sleep, it will be provided, for the scripture says, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you." Matthew 7:7.
During the quiet of the night, we also pray that this situation will be used for good, for we know that we should "be still and know" You are God. Psalm 46:10. As our minds quiet, may this be an opportunity for our spirits to connect with yours. May our fears be turned into opportunities for greater understanding and your will to be done.
May this be a time of great rejoicing and praise as we see our God continue to do wonders in our time. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ. For it is written, "If you will ask whatever you desire in my name, you shall have it." John 14:14.
Now, let us continually give thanks, for we know that our Father in heaven hears us when we pray. "This is the boldness which we have towards him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us." 1 John 5:14.
Finally, if this problem is persistent and causing health issues, seek medical help, for we should test all things and hold onto the good parts. Do not ignore a needed visit to a doctor due to false faith.
