We hear your distress and we join together with you before the Lord in Jesus name concerning these troubling dreams and the fear that has come with them. For more than six years you have been burdened with hundreds of nightmares about being threatened, being moved away from your family to a place you do not want to be, and being surrounded by people you do not want near you or your loved ones. We understand how heavy and exhausting this has been.
The Lord knows the anxiety these dreams have caused and He is our refuge and protector. His Word tells us, For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. And again, Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. When fear comes at night we can remember, I will both lay me down and sleep in peace, for you, Yahweh, alone make me live in safety Psalm 4:8, and When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet Proverbs 3:24.
These dreams do not have authority over your life or your future. God alone is sovereign over where you live and over your family. He promises, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust Psalm 91:1-2, and 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.
We also hear your prayer concerning provision after much suffering. We bring that before the Lord as well, trusting not in a specific amount but in His goodness and perfect will, knowing My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, and Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the victorious name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to You. Lord, we ask You to rebuke every spirit of fear and oppression and to put an end to these threatening dreams in Jesus name. Let Your peace guard this heart and mind night and day. We ask that You would forbid any plan of the enemy to move or isolate or place this life where You do not will, and that You would keep close relations safe and together according to Your will. We ask You to cause every wrong influence and every person who means harm to be distanced and to lay off forever, and we ask You to surround this life and family with Your protection, for You are faithful, who will establish and guard from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3. Father, we ask You to provide for every need and to grant financial provision according to Your riches and wisdom, and to heal the weariness that has come from years of nightmares. Let Your presence be felt at night, let sleep be sweet and peaceful, and let this heart rest in confidence that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17. We trust Your perfect plan and ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to bring these fears to the Lord each evening before sleep, to meditate on His promises, to put on the full armor of God Ephesians 6:11, and to speak His Word over your home and family. If these dreams continue to trouble you deeply, seek godly counsel from a trusted pastor as well. The Lord is near, He hears you, and He will keep you in perfect peace as you keep your mind stayed on Him Isaiah 26:3.
