We hear your cry for strength and deliverance, and we join with you in lifting this heavy burden before the throne of grace. The weariness you feel is real, and the spiritual oppression you describe is not from God, for He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every spirit of exhaustion, heaviness, and oppression in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is written, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to him and are safe" (Proverbs 18:10).
Father, we ask You to renew the strength of our dear brother/sister as You promised in Isaiah 40:31: "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." Lord, lift every weight that has been pressing down on their spirit. Break every chain of spiritual oppression, for You have said, "If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36). We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
We also encourage you to stand firm in your faith, putting on the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). Resist the enemy, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Fill your mind with the truth of God’s Word, for it is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Meditate on His promises day and night, and do not let them depart from your heart.
Lord, we pray that You would surround our brother/sister with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Let Your presence be a shield around them, and let Your joy be their strength (Nehemiah 8:10). We ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empowering them to walk in victory and freedom. Remind them that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
We also want to gently remind you that salvation and deliverance come only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must 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 and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
Heavenly Father, we thank You for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your power to deliver and restore. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
