We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent plea for protection from spiritual attacks. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we stand firm in the truth that Jesus came so that we might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). These disturbances in sleep and the relentless assaults on body and mind are not of God, for He gives His beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2) and promises peace to those who trust in Him (Isaiah 26:3).
We rebuke every spirit of fear, torment, and oppression in the mighty name of Jesus. The Word declares that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We take authority over every lying spirit that seeks to bring confusion, anxiety, or physical affliction, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Father, we ask You to surround this dear one with Your hedge of protection, as You did for Job (Job 1:10). Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every assignment of the enemy be dismantled by the blood of Jesus. Strengthen their faith to resist the devil, so that he will flee (James 4:7). Fill their mind with Your truth, their heart with Your peace, and their body with Your healing power.
Lord, we also pray for discernment. If there are areas of unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or open doors that the enemy is exploiting, reveal them so they may be closed in Jesus’ name. Remind them that You are their refuge and fortress, their God in whom they can trust (Psalm 91:2). When the enemy comes in like a flood, let the Spirit of the Lord lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from You, O God (Isaiah 54:17). We stand in agreement with this promise, believing that You will bring deliverance and restoration.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your protection and for the victory that is already ours through Christ Jesus. May this dear one walk in the fullness of Your peace, knowing that You neither slumber nor sleep, and that You are watching over them always (Psalm 121:3-4). In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
