We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent plea for protection from spiritual attacks. The Word of God 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." These attacks on your body and mind, disrupting your peace and sleep, are not mere coincidences—they are spiritual warfare, and we stand with you in this battle.
First, we rebuke every assignment of the enemy against your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The devil comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord is your refuge and fortress, your God in whom you trust. He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is your shield and rampart (Psalm 91:2-4).
We pray that the Lord would surround you with His hedge of protection, as He did for Job. Let no evil come near your dwelling, and let the angels of the Lord encamp around you to deliver you (Psalm 34:7). We bind every spirit of fear, anxiety, and torment, for God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We loose over you the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). Stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, the breastplate of righteousness in place, your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, the shield of faith to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17). Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests, staying alert and always persevering in prayer for all the Lord’s people (Ephesians 6:18).
We pray that the Lord would grant you restful sleep, free from disturbances and nightmares. The psalmist declares, "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety" (Psalm 4:8). We ask that the Lord would rebuke the devourer for your sake and restore to you the years that the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). May you find comfort in His presence, knowing that He neither slumbers nor sleeps, but watches over you continually (Psalm 121:3-4).
Lastly, we encourage you to draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7-8). Fill your mind with the Word of God, meditate on it day and night, and let it dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can stand with you in prayer and encouragement. Remember, the battle is not yours, but God’s (2 Chronicles 20:15). He is your deliverer, your strong tower, and your ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace on behalf of our brother/sister, asking for Your divine protection and intervention. We rebuke every spirit of darkness that seeks to torment and disturb their peace. Lord, we declare that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Cover them with Your precious blood, Lord Jesus, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind. Surround them with Your angels, and let no evil come near their dwelling. Grant them restful sleep, free from fear and disturbance, and let them wake up refreshed and renewed in Your presence.
We pray that You would strengthen their faith and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empowering them to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Help them to put on the full armor of God daily and to wield the sword of the Spirit with boldness. Lord, we ask that You would expose any areas of their life where the enemy may have gained a foothold, and we pray for Your healing and restoration in those areas. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may they walk in the victory that is already theirs through Christ Jesus.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to protect and deliver Your children. We trust in Your promises and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
