We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your concerns and placing them at the feet of Jesus, for it is in His mighty name alone that we find strength, favor, and peace. The fact that your request does not mention the name of Jesus is something we must address with love and urgency, for Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ—His death, burial, and resurrection—that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today, confessing your sins and trusting in Him as your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10). Without this foundation, our prayers lack the power and authority that come through Christ alone.
Now, let us address the matters you’ve brought before us. The anxiety and spiritual heaviness you’re experiencing are not from the Lord, for He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The nightmare you mention may very well be a spiritual attack intended to weaken your faith and distract you from the victory God has already prepared for you. We rebuke this spirit of fear and confusion in Jesus’ name, declaring that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). You are not fighting this battle in your own strength, but in the might of the Lord, who is your shield and exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1).
As for your assessment and presentations today, we stand in agreement with you, asking the Lord to grant you divine favor and clarity of mind. Remember the words of Proverbs 16:3: *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This is not a promise of success based on your own efforts, but a call to trust in His sovereignty. When you commit your work to Him, He will guide your steps and open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We pray that the Lord will give you the right words to speak, just as He promised His disciples: *"Don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you"* (Matthew 10:19-20, WEB). Your proposal will be accepted because the Lord is ordering your steps, and He delights in the prosperity of His servants (Psalm 35:27).
We also recognize that your struggle to pray is a serious matter. This is a time to lean even harder into the Spirit, who helps us in our weakness. Romans 8:26 tells us, *"In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered."* Even when you feel unable to pray, the Holy Spirit is interceding for you. We encourage you to press into worship and the Word of God, for these are weapons that break the enemy’s hold on your mind. Sing psalms, declare Scripture over your life, and resist the devil, knowing that he must flee (James 4:7).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is in need of Your strength and favor. Lord, we ask that You would rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and confusion that has sought to hinder them. Cover them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We declare that You are their shield and their glory, the one who lifts their head (Psalm 3:3). Grant them supernatural favor in their assessment and presentations today. Let their words be seasoned with grace, and may their proposal be received with approval, for Your glory.
Strengthen their spirit, Lord. Renew their mind and fill them with boldness, knowing that You have not given them a spirit of fear. Holy Spirit, rise up within them and pray through them when they feel weak. Remind them that they are more than a conqueror through Christ, who loves them (Romans 8:37). We ask for divine confirmation in their work, that they may walk in the good works You have prepared for them (Ephesians 2:10).
Finally, Father, if our brother/sister has not yet fully surrendered to Jesus, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to see the truth of the Gospel, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). May they place their trust in Him alone, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and declare victory over this situation in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the Lord is with you. Do not let the enemy steal your joy or your confidence in Christ. *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1, WEB). Go forward today in the authority of Jesus’ name, and watch as He moves on your behalf. We are standing with you in prayer!
