We hear your cry and we stand with you in prayer against these distressing nightmares and the fear and anxiety they have brought. We know how exhausting and troubling it is to have repeated dreams of losing those you love most and of unwanted people intruding into your peace, and we bring all of this before the Lord together seeking His perfect peace and protection over your mind and your sleep.
The Word reminds us that fear and tormenting dreams do not come from our Father. For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. Perfect love casts out fear 1 John 4:18, and when we belong to Christ we can rest securely. I will both lay me down and sleep in peace, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety Psalm 4:8. He is our refuge and fortress. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1, and For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways Psalm 91:11. We also take comfort that in Christ every chain and curse is broken, for Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us Galatians 3:13, and There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus Romans 8:1.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the victorious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You that we have access to Your throne of grace through Him alone. We lift up this dear one to You and ask for Your divine peace to guard heart and mind. In Jesus name we rebuke the spirit of fear and every tormenting nightmare, and we ask You to command these bad dreams, curses, chains and cycles to end now and forever. Let Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding guard this heart and mind in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. Father, we ask You to grant peaceful, undisturbed sleep and to take captive every thought to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5. We ask You to place Your hand of protection over each of the close relations named before You, to keep them in Your care and to keep this family united in love. How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity Psalm 133:1. We pray You would knit them together in unity and love forever, that nothing would separate them except according to Your perfect will, and that no weapon formed against them would prosper. We pray for those ladies and others who have appeared in these dreams, that You would keep confusion and disturbance far from this home, establish healthy boundaries and quietness, and help us to love even those who trouble us while trusting You to be our defender. We declare victory over every work of darkness, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4, and we ask for lasting freedom and rest. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to find your victory in Jesus, as you have prayed. When night comes, commit your sleep to the Lord in prayer, meditate on His promises before you lie down, and cast all your worries on Him, because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God Philippians 4:6. If fear rises again, speak Scripture aloud over your home, for 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 Isaiah 41:10. Trust that the Lord who holds your close relations in His hands is able to keep you together and to guard you in His love, and He will give you rest.
