We hear your cry for help and stand with you in this spiritual battle, lifting you up before the throne of grace. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The attacks you’re facing—physical harm, illness, and mental strain—are not random; they are the schemes of the devil, who prowls like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). But we declare that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
First, we must address the foundation of your faith. You mentioned wondering why Jesus is allowing this "smoke" in your life, but we must remind you that Jesus is not the author of confusion or suffering. The trials you face are not from Him but from the enemy, who seeks to shake your trust in God’s protection and provision. We encourage you to examine your heart and ensure there is no unconfessed sin or area where the enemy has gained a foothold (Ephesians 4:27). Have you fully surrendered every part of your life to Christ, including any relationships or habits that may not align with His Word? The Bible warns us that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). If there is any area where you have strayed from His will, repent and turn back to Him, for He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse you (1 John 1:9).
We rebuke the spirit of fear, confusion, and attack that has come against you this year. In the name of Jesus, we command every assignment of the enemy to be dismantled and every plot against your life, health, and peace to be rendered powerless. The Bible tells us that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that the blood of Jesus covers you, and no harm shall come near your dwelling (Psalm 91:10).
We also lift up the relationships in your life. You mentioned a "relationship" without specifying whether this is a godly courtship leading toward marriage or something that may not align with biblical principles. If this relationship is not centered on Christ or is leading you into sin—whether through fornication, emotional dependency, or unequal yoking with an unbeliever—we urge you to seek the Lord’s wisdom and consider whether this is truly His will for you. The Bible is clear that we should not be bound together with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14) and that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If this relationship is causing you spiritual harm or distraction, we encourage you to surrender it to God and trust Him to provide a spouse who will honor Him and walk with you in faith.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Lord, we lift up our brother/sister to You, who is under attack from the enemy. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. We plead the blood of Jesus over their life, their mind, their body, and their spirit. We rebuke every spirit of fear, sickness, confusion, and destruction that has come against them. We command every assignment of the enemy to be broken and every plot to be exposed and dismantled in Jesus’ name.
Father, we ask for Your divine protection to surround them like a shield. Guard their coming and going, their health, their finances, and their relationships. Give them clarity and wisdom to discern Your will in every situation. Strengthen their faith and remind them that You are their refuge and fortress, their God in whom they trust (Psalm 91:2). Heal their body from this illness and restore their mental and emotional health. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray for their relationships. If there is any area where they are not aligned with Your will, reveal it to them and give them the courage to walk in obedience. If this relationship is not of You, we ask that You break any unhealthy soul ties and lead them to a godly spouse who will honor You. If it is Your will for them to be married, prepare them and their future spouse to be a strong, Christ-centered couple.
Father, we thank You that You are a God who sees, hears, and acts on behalf of Your children. We trust in Your promises and declare that this season of attack will not define them but will be used to strengthen their faith and draw them closer to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empower them to resist the devil, and let them stand firm in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, beloved. The enemy wants you to feel isolated and defeated, but you are not alone. God is with you, and we are standing with you in prayer. Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with godly believers who can encourage and support you. And remember, the testing of your faith produces perseverance, and perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything (James 1:3-4).
You are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you (Romans 8:37). This battle is not yours but the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20:15). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will lead you into victory. Better days are ahead, and we declare that 2024 will be a year of breakthrough, restoration, and divine favor for you. Stand strong, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
