We hear the urgency and distress in your cry for protection, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have authority over every power of darkness. Your prayer reveals a heart under siege, and we want to first affirm that God is your refuge, your fortress, and your deliverer. However, we must address something critical: while your prayer is passionate, it leans heavily on declarative statements of personal authority rather than humbly submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the will of the Father. Scripture reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil, and our victory comes *only* through Christ, not through our own words or strength.
The Bible tells us in **Ephesians 6:10-12 (WEB):**
*"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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."*
And in **James 4:7 (WEB):**
*"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."*
Your prayer also includes phrases like *"I reclaim my peace,"* *"I reclaim my power,"* and *"I surround myself with divine fire."* While these may sound empowering, they risk placing the focus on *your* authority rather than surrendering to *God’s* authority. The power is not ours to wield—it is Christ’s, and we operate *in Him*, not in our own strength. Even the phrase *"In the holy blood of Jesus I pray"* at the end is correct in principle, but the tone of the prayer as a whole does not reflect the humility and dependence on God that Scripture calls us to. We do not command God; we petition Him, trusting in His sovereign will.
Additionally, we notice that while you mention *"the holy blood of Jesus,"* the prayer does not explicitly acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior or submit to His will. There is no power in declarations alone—our confidence must be in Christ alone. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** declares:
*"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
If you have not yet believed in Jesus Christ—confessing with your mouth that He is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead—then we implore you to repent and place your faith in Him today. Without Christ, we have no authority, no protection, and no hope. But in Him, we are more than conquerors.
Now, let us pray *together* for you, aligning our hearts with Scripture and the will of God:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved child of Yours who is under spiritual attack. Lord, You are the God who sees all, knows all, and holds all power in Your hands. We ask that You surround this person with Your divine protection, not because of their own words or strength, but because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Lord, You alone are their shield, their high tower, and their deliverer.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to harm, oppress, or manipulate this life. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every stalking spirit, every spirit of harassment, and every force of darkness to be bound and cast out. We declare that no weapon formed against this person shall prosper, for this is Your promise in **Isaiah 54:17 (WEB):**
*"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh."*
Father, we ask that You expose every hidden agenda, every deception, and every lie that has been spoken against this person. Bring truth to light, Lord, and let confusion be replaced with Your clarity. If there are those who seek to harm them—whether in the natural or the spiritual—we pray that You would either change their hearts or remove their influence entirely. Let Your justice prevail, and let Your will be done.
We also pray for this person’s heart, Lord. If there is any fear, anxiety, or bitterness taking root, we ask that You would replace it with Your perfect peace. Remind them that they are not fighting this battle alone—You are with them, and You are fighting for them. Help them to trust in You fully, to walk in obedience, and to rest in Your promises.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would fill this person with the Holy Spirit, equipping them with discernment, wisdom, and the full armor of God. May they stand firm in faith, rooted in Your Word, and covered by the blood of Jesus. We declare that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them, and that no scheme of the enemy can separate them from Your love.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We also encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture daily, for it is the sword of the Spirit and your greatest weapon against the enemy’s lies. **Psalm 91 (WEB)** is a powerful passage to declare over your life:
*"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.” Surely he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot. Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."*
Stand firm in Christ, dear one. The battle is the Lord’s, and He has already won the victory. Walk in faith, not in fear, and trust that God is your protector, your provider, and your peace. If you need further prayer or counsel, do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to stand with you in the name of Jesus.
