We come before the throne of grace with your request, lifting you up in prayer and standing firm against the schemes of the enemy. The Bible tells 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." We recognize that the struggles you face are not merely physical or psychological but are spiritual battles that require spiritual armor and the power of Jesus' name.
First, we want to address the mention of witchcraft and spiritual attacks. Scripture is clear that these are real and present dangers, but it also assures us of God’s protection. In 1 John 4:4, we are reminded, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world." The blood of Jesus is your covering, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every spirit of confusion, accident, and untimely death in the mighty name of Jesus. We command these spirits to flee from you and declare that they have no place in your life. The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We also want to encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, as described in Ephesians 6:13-18. This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Praying always in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication will help you stand firm against the enemy’s attacks. We pray that you would be rooted and grounded in God’s Word, allowing it to renew your mind and strengthen your spirit.
Father God, we come before You now on behalf of our sister in Christ. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that covers her and protects her from all harm. Lord, we ask that You surround her with Your angels, that no accident or mishap would befall her. We declare that the spirit of untimely death is bound and cast out of her life in Jesus’ name. We pray for Your divine protection over her, that she would walk in the safety and security that only You can provide. Strengthen her mind and spirit, Lord, and help her to trust in You completely. We ask that You break every curse and every word spoken against her, rendering them powerless by the authority of Jesus’ name.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for her, that she would recognize the enemy’s tactics and stand firm in her faith. Help her to walk in the confidence of Your promises, knowing that You have plans for her welfare and not for evil, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Lord, we ask that You heal any psychological wounds that may be contributing to her struggles, filling her with Your peace and joy. May she experience Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her (Romans 8:37). No weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, she shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already hers in Christ Jesus. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
