We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your struggle with sleep, disturbing dreams, and the weight of spiritual warfare you are enduring. The Bible tells us in Psalm 4:8, "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety." Yet we know the enemy seeks to steal that peace, to disrupt your rest, and to fill your mind with fear. But we stand on the promise that "God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7). You are not alone in this battle, and we declare that the Lord is your refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2).
Father God, we ask You to surround our brother with Your heavenly hosts, to guard his mind and heart as he sleeps. We rebuke every spirit of fear, torment, and oppression in the name of Jesus Christ. We break every assignment of the enemy against his rest and declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, fill his dreams with Your peace, Your truth, and visions of Your goodness. Let him wake refreshed, strengthened, and anchored in Your love. We plead the blood of Jesus over his mind, body, and spirit, and we command every lying spirit to flee in Jesus’ mighty name.
We also encourage you to stand firm in your faith, putting on the full armor of God each day (Ephesians 6:10-18). Speak Scripture aloud before sleep—verses like Psalm 91, Psalm 23, or Philippians 4:6-7—to remind your heart of God’s protection. Surround yourself with worship music or Christian teaching that fills your home with the presence of the Holy Spirit. And if these attacks persist, consider fasting and prayer, for "this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting" (Mark 9:29).
Remember, the enemy only has power where he is given access. Examine your heart and life for any areas of unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or compromise that may be giving him a foothold. James 4:7 tells us, "Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Confess any known sin, repent, and walk in the light of Christ. You are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you (Romans 8:37).
Lastly, we must emphasize that our access to God and His protection comes only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Only then can you fully claim the victory and authority that is yours in Christ.
We stand with you in this battle, believing that the Lord will bring you into a place of deep, unshakable peace. May He cover you with His feathers, and under His wings may you find refuge (Psalm 91:4). We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
