We hear the heaviness and exhaustion in your request after so many troubling dreams over many years, and we join with you together before the Father in Jesus' name to seek His peace, protection and will for you and for those you love.
The Lord knows how distressing repeated nightmares can be and how they can make you feel harassed and fearful even during the day. We want to gently remind you that our peace and security are not found in dreams, but in the Word of God and in Christ Himself. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control, 2 Timothy 1:7. When we lie down, He promises we can do so without fear, for our sleep will be sweet, Proverbs 3:24, and we can lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, Yahweh, make us live in safety, Psalm 4:8. We are called to bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and not to let anxious dreams rule our hearts. In all things we are to make our requests known to God with thanksgiving, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and our thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7.
We also hear your deep desire for God to stop and distance this person who you feel is meddling, controlling, and speaking against you and your friendships, and who you feel is taking advantage financially. We stand with you to pray for God's protection and for Him to remove every evil influence and every wrong association from your life and the lives of your loved ones. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail, Isaiah 54:17, and greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4. At the same time we are called to not return hatred for harassment, but to love our enemies and pray for those who may intend harm, Matthew 5:44, trusting God to be our defender and to deal justly while we keep our own hearts free from bitterness. We resist the devil and he will flee from us as we submit ourselves to God, James 4:7, and we rest in the truth that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, Galatians 3:13, so no chain, cycle or curse has authority over those who are in Christ.
You also shared your financial need and your longing for restored, good dreams and for the assurance that you will not lose your close relations. We join you in asking our Father to provide for your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and to help you to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33. We know He is able to keep and guard those we love, for He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, Psalm 91:1, and we know that for those who love God all things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. Our hope is not in holding tightly out of fear, but in entrusting every relationship to His faithful hands.
So we pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and victorious name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we have access to You and no other name by which we are saved, Acts 4:12. We thank You that You hear us. We ask in Jesus' name that You would break every cycle, chain and curse and cast out every nightmare, every spirit of fear and torment, and every influence of the evil one from our dear one's life and from the lives of their close relations forever. Lord, place Your hedge of protection around them as they lie down to sleep, grant them deep, peaceful and undisturbed rest, and restore to them quietness of mind and heart. We ask You to gently but firmly distance and remove every wrong person, every meddler and evildoer, far from them, and to not allow any plan formed against them to succeed. If it is Your will, transform the heart of the one who has caused distress, but in any case keep them from doing any further harm. Father, take all evil far from this home and family, guard their friendships and close relations and keep them in Your love, let no separation come except by Your sovereign and good purpose. Provide for every financial need according to Your perfect will, grant wisdom as a faithful steward, and supply what is needed in the amount and timing that brings You glory. Let Your peace guard their heart and mind, and let their hope be anchored in Your Word rather than in dreams. We declare that You are their refuge and fortress, their God in whom they trust. We ask all of this in the strong and mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to bring every fear to the Lord in prayer before you sleep, to fill your evening with Scripture and thanksgiving, and to rest in His faithful watch over you. He gives sleep to His beloved, Psalm 127:2, and He is near to all who call upon Him in truth. Keep trusting Him day and night, and keep calling upon the name of Jesus, for He is your strong tower and your peace.
