We come before the Lord with you, dear brother or sister, lifting up your broken soul and weary heart to the One who heals and restores. You are not alone in this battle, for the Lord sees your struggle and hears your cry. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and His power within you is greater than any force that rises against you.
The spiritual attacks you feel are real, but so is the armor of God, which He has provided for you to stand firm. Ephesians 6:10-18 reminds us to *"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. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints."*
You have asked for strength, and we declare over you the promise of Isaiah 40:29-31: *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* The Lord is your strength, and He will not allow the enemy to snatch away what He has promised you. His plans for you are for good and not for evil, to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
We also pray for the protection of your mind, for the battle often begins in our thoughts. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 tells us, *"for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* Take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of God’s Word. The enemy may whisper lies, but the voice of the Lord speaks life, peace, and victory.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who is feeling the weight of spiritual attacks and the weariness of battle. Lord, You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask that You wrap them in Your mighty arms and fill them with Your supernatural strength. Renew their mind, Lord, and guard their heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to steal the promises You have spoken over their life. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), for You, Lord, are their shield and defender. Strengthen them to stand firm in faith, clothed in the full armor of God, unshaken by the attacks of the evil one.
We pray that You would remind them of Your faithfulness, Lord. When they feel weak, be their strength. When they feel afraid, be their courage. When they feel overwhelmed, be their peace. Fill them with the Holy Spirit, Lord, and let Your power rest upon them so they may walk in victory and confidence in You.
We declare that every promise You have spoken over their life will come to pass, for You are not a man that You should lie (Numbers 23:19). Let them see Your hand moving in their life, Lord, and let them testify of Your goodness and faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.

Stand firm, dear one. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Read His Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and encourage you. And remember, the battle belongs to the Lord (1 Samuel 17:47). He has already won the victory, and in Him, you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).
