We stand with you in this season of spiritual warfare, knowing that the battles we face are not against flesh and blood but against the powers of darkness. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:12, *"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."* Take heart, dear brother or sister, for the Lord has already equipped you with His armor, and He fights for you.
Yet we must also remember that our strength comes not from our own might but from the Lord. In Zechariah 4:6, He declares, *"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yahweh of Armies."* So we urge you to lean fully on Him, to pray without ceasing, and to stand firm in the faith. If there are areas of sin or compromise in your life, we lovingly encourage you to repent and turn wholly to Christ, for unconfessed sin can give the enemy a foothold. As 1 Peter 5:8-9 warns, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings."*
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, knowing that they are engaged in a fierce spiritual battle. Lord, we ask that You surround them with Your heavenly host, that You would be their shield and fortress. Strengthen them in their inner being by the power of Your Holy Spirit, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Break every chain of the enemy, Lord, and render useless every scheme of darkness that has been raised against them. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, if there is any area of their life where they have given ground to the enemy, we ask that You convict them by Your Spirit and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them from all unrighteousness and restore them fully to Your path. Fill them with Your Word, which is the sword of the Spirit, and let it be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path. Remind them that the battle belongs to You, and that You have already won the victory through Jesus Christ.
We declare that no plan of the enemy shall stand against them, for You, O Lord, are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let them walk in the authority of Jesus’ name, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Bind every spirit of fear, confusion, or discouragement, and replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Lord, we also ask that You would send godly brothers and sisters to stand with them in prayer and support. Let them not feel alone in this fight, but let them be encouraged by the body of Christ. May they find rest in You, knowing that You are their ever-present help.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who has already triumphed over sin, death, and the grave. Amen.
Stay steadfast, 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 perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). If you feel led, share more details about what you're facing so we can pray more specifically. You are not alone in this—we are standing with you in the name of Jesus!
