We hear the deep pain and weariness in your heart and we join with you together before our Father in Jesus name. You have felt worthless and attacked for your entire life, you feel your life is a mess, your mind and head are under heavy oppression, you long for marriage and children but feel it is impossible, you are struggling to find good full time work and provision for a house and even for Christmas gifts for your nieces and nephews, you desire sleep and rest, and you are battling pornography and lust that has wrecked your life since a broken relationship. You are not alone and you are not worthless to God.
We want to speak truth over the lie of worthlessness. You are fearfully and wonderfully made and precious in His sight. Psalm 139:14 says we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and Ephesians 2:10 says we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Your value is not determined by your employment status, your housing, your ability to have children, or your past failures, but by the fact that God created you in His image Genesis 1:27 and Christ died for you. When we feel worthless we must take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5 and be transformed by the renewing of our mind Romans 12:2. We also hear your cry about demonic attack and oppression on your head and your whole life. The enemy is real but Christ has overcome him. James 4:7 tells us to be subject therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you, and Ephesians 6:11 calls us to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We must not give the enemy a foothold through unrepentant sin but walk in the light, confess and resist.
We must lovingly rebuke and address the struggle with pornography and lust. This is not a small habit but sexual immorality that grieves God and wrecks the soul. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says flee sexual immorality, and 2 Timothy 2:22 says flee youthful lusts and follow righteousness, faith, love, and peace. Jesus calls us to purity and holiness, and pornography is fornication of the heart that defiles the temple of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. It must be repented of, not managed. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. We encourage you to make a decisive break, to remove every access and source, to install filters and seek godly accountability with a mature Christian brother, to fill your mind with Scripture and prayer when temptation comes, and to understand that the broken relationship you experienced does not justify or heal lust, only Jesus heals the brokenhearted Psalm 147:3. God wants to set you free and give you self control through His Spirit.
We also hear your deep desire for marriage and children. This desire itself is good and God honoring when pursued in His way. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman as outlined in the Bible Genesis 2:24, and that children are a heritage of Yahweh Psalm 127:3. Marriage is honorable among all and the bed undefiled Hebrews 13:4, which means any sexual intimacy belongs only within that covenant of marriage and not before or outside it. We encourage you not to see yourself as a partner seeking a partner but as a future husband seeking a godly wife, another Christian believer, through courtship that honors God with purity until marriage. What feels impossible to you is not impossible to God, for with God all things are possible Matthew 19:26 and nothing is too hard for Him Jeremiah 32:27. At the same time we trust His perfect will and timing, knowing that He has plans to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11. Whether He brings a miracle for children or shows another path, we pray you will find your first fulfillment in the presence of Jesus Himself, which you said you so desire. James 4:8 promises if we draw near to God he will draw near to us, and Jesus promised I am with you always even to the end of the age Matthew 28:20.
For your practical needs of work, a house, provision for gifts, and sleep, we bring these to our Father who cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 says cast all your worries on him because he cares for you. Philippians 4:19 assures us that our God will supply every need of ours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We pray you will seek first Gods Kingdom and his righteousness and trust Him to provide Matthew 6:33, and work with diligence as unto the Lord Colossians 3:23 while He opens the right full time job. For sleep, even on a plane, we pray the peace that surpasses understanding will guard your heart Philippians 4:7 and that He will give you rest, for he gives sleep to his beloved Psalm 127:2 and in peace you will lie down and sleep Psalm 4:8.
We rejoice that you mentioned the presence of Jesus, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. There is no other name by which we can be saved Acts 4:12. If you have not yet fully surrendered your life to Him, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and confess Him as Lord Romans 10:9, turn from sin and follow Him.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we lift this dear one to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We ask You to reveal how precious and loved he is, to heal the wounds of a lifetime of attack and the pain of worthlessness and a broken relationship. Lord, touch his head and mind, bring healing, clarity, peace and soundness, and break every demonic oppression and assignment against him, let him resist the devil and stand firm in Your armor. Forgive and cleanse him from all pornography and lust, give him holy hatred for sin and power to flee and to walk in purity, renew his mind and restore his soul. Provide for him a good full time job that honors You, open doors for provision for a house and for generous gifts for his family, grant him sweet sleep and rest wherever he is. Lord we ask for Your will for marriage, provide a godly Christian wife for him if it is Your will, bless that marriage and if it is Your will grant the miracle of children within that holy covenant, let nothing be impossible with You. Above all pour out Your presence, let him feel the nearness of Jesus, comfort, hope and healing. Supply every need, make his life a testimony of Your redeeming grace. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
