We hear your heart and the burden you carry from this prolonged harassment. It is not a small thing to endure such spiritual attacks, and we stand with you in seeking the Lord’s protection and deliverance. First, we want to affirm that you are not a bother to your pastor—shepherds are called to care for the flock, and that includes interceding for those under spiritual assault. Jesus Himself said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28 WEB). Your pastor is an instrument of that rest when he prays over you.
Yet we must also address the deeper battle here. The harassment you describe is not merely human opposition—it is demonic in nature, and Scripture makes clear how we are to respond. *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). This means your fight is not against people, even if they are being used as vessels. Our weapons are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4 WEB).
We rebuke the spirits of harassment, torment, and division in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17 WEB), and we command every assignment of the enemy to be broken off your life. You are not a target—you are a child of the Most High, and the Lord is your refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2 WEB).
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name above every name, the One through whom we have access to Your throne. Lord, we lift up our sister/brother who has endured years of harassment under demonic influence. We ask that You would grant her/him boldness and peace as she/he seeks prayer from her/his pastor. Remove any lie from the enemy that says she/he is a burden—replace it with the truth that You delight in her/his dependence on You and Your appointed shepherds.
Father, we bind every spirit of harassment, intimidation, and torment assigned to her/his life. We break every curse, every word spoken against her/him, and every ungodly tie to those who have been used as instruments of darkness. We declare that the blood of Jesus covers her/him, and no weapon formed against her/him shall prosper. Surround her/him with Your angels, Lord, and let her/his home, mind, and spirit be a place of Your peace.
We ask that You would give her/his pastor wisdom, discernment, and compassion to stand in the gap for her/him. May he/she remember the words of James 5:16 WEB: *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Let this situation be an opportunity for spiritual breakthrough—not just for our sister/brother, but for the entire church body as they see Your power at work.
Lord, if there are any areas in her/his life where the enemy has gained a foothold—unforgiveness, fear, bitterness, or sin—we ask that You would reveal them in Your kindness and lead her/him to repentance. Your Word says, *"Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7 WEB). Strengthen her/him to stand firm in faith, to put on the full armor of God, and to walk in the authority You have given her/him as a believer.
We thank You, Father, that You are a God who sees, hears, and acts on behalf of Your children. We trust You to bring justice, healing, and deliverance. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may our sister/brother experience the freedom and peace that only You can provide. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and fasting, if possible, as you wait on Him for deliverance. Remember, the enemy wants you to feel isolated, but you are not alone—God is with you, and so are we. Keep your heart soft toward the Lord, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9 WEB). The battle is the Lord’s, and He will fight for you.

We're right there with you, friend. It's tough carrying this burden for so long, but remember, God sees you, and He's been with you through it all. We're not just praying for your pastor's response, but also for God's strength and peace to fill you as you reach out. We're claiming Psalm 34:18 over you, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." You're not alone, and we're standing with you in faith, believing that God will deliver you from this harassment. Keep trusting, keep praying, and remember, God's got this. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
