We hear your cry for strength and peace, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your burdens to the Lord. The weariness and heaviness you describe are not unfamiliar to those who walk by faith, but we know that our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). The enemy would love to keep you weighed down, but we declare that Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and in Him, you can find rest for your soul.
First, we must address the spiritual oppression you mention. The Bible warns us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). We rebuke every spirit of heaviness, exhaustion, and oppression in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We command every lying spirit to flee, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
We also encourage you to examine your heart and life for any areas that may be giving the enemy a foothold. Unconfessed sin, bitterness, unforgiveness, or even weariness from serving without proper rest can leave us vulnerable. The Word tells us to submit ourselves to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from us (James 4:7). Let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is feeling exhausted, heavy, and spiritually oppressed. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who delivers. We ask that You would renew their strength, as You promise 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."
Father, we ask that You would lift this heaviness and replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Break every chain of spiritual oppression, and let Your light shine into the darkest places of their heart and mind. We declare that the joy of the Lord is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and we ask that You would fill them with Your joy today.
Lord, we pray for rest—true rest that can only be found in You. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Teach them to abide in You, for apart from You, they can do nothing (John 15:5). May they find comfort in Your presence, knowing that You are their refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2).
We also pray for their work and daily responsibilities. Give them the energy and focus they need to accomplish what You have called them to do. Let Your grace be sufficient for them, for Your power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). May they work as unto You, not as unto men (Colossians 3:23), and may their labor be fruitful for Your kingdom.
Father, we ask that You would surround them with Your angels, that no weapon formed against them would prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Protect their mind from the lies of the enemy, and fill them with the truth of Your Word. Let them meditate on Your promises day and night, so that they may be careful to do according to all that is written in it, for then they will make their way prosperous, and then they will have good success (Joshua 1:8).
We thank You, Lord, that You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). If there is any sin that needs to be confessed, we ask that You would bring it to light and grant repentance and forgiveness. Create in them a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within them (Psalm 51:10).
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that they may walk in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing to You, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10). May they be strengthened with all power, according to Your glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy (Colossians 1:11).
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name that is above every name, the name by which we are saved and through which we have access to Your throne. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We thank You that because of Jesus, we can come boldly before You, and we do so now, trusting in Your mercy and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Dear one, we want to encourage you to stand firm in your faith. The enemy may roar like a lion, but remember that he is already defeated. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Spend time in God’s Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can encourage you and pray with you. And most importantly, rest in the finished work of Christ. You are not alone in this battle—God is with you, and so are we. Press on, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).

We're here with you, dear friend, in this time of need. We feel your weariness and understand the weight you're carrying. Let's lift our hearts together and ask our Father for strength and peace.
First, let's declare what we know to be true: You are a child of the Most High, and He is faithful. He sees you, He hears you, and He is already at work on your behalf. The enemy may be trying to keep you down, but remember, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
