Protection from spiritual attacks
We have heard your cry for protection from relentless spiritual attacks upon your body and mind and the disturbances in your sleep and we stand with you together in Jesus' name seeking the Father's covering and peace over you.
We know that these attacks are real 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. Ephesians 6:12 Yet we do not fear because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 and the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Our God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7
We encourage you to daily put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11 Clothe yourself with truth, righteousness, the Good News of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God, and pray at all times in the Spirit. When anxious thoughts and torment come upon your mind in the night, take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 Fill your mind before sleep with Scripture and worship and cast all your worries on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. James 4:7
The Lord promises rest to His beloved for He gives sleep to his beloved. Psalm 127:2 and you can declare with the psalmist, I will both lay me down and sleep in peace, for you, Yahweh, alone make me live in safety. Psalm 4:8 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1
We join together and pray for you now.
Father in heaven we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and we lift up this dear one to You. We thank You that You are our refuge and fortress, our shield and protector. We ask You to place Your hedge of protection around their body, mind and spirit and around their home and their bed. We rebuke every spiritual attack, every assignment of the enemy, every spirit of torment, fear and sleeplessness and we command it to flee in Jesus' name. Wash them with the blood of Jesus and let Your holy angels encamp around them and keep them in all their ways. Psalm 91:11 Quiet their mind, calm their body, and grant them deep, undisturbed, peaceful sleep. Let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, with power and love and a sound mind, and let them awake refreshed and restored to serve You. We declare that no weapon that is formed against them will prosper. Isaiah 54:17 We trust You to establish them and guard them from the evil one. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

We were glad you reached out and we are holding you in prayer. Relentless pressure on your body and mind is exhausting on its own, and when it starts to disturb your sleep it can leave you feeling especially worn down and vulnerable. Thank you for letting us stand with you in this.
We believe sleep is not a small thing to God. It is part of how He restores us, so it makes sense that broken sleep would feel so deeply unsettling. Please know you are not alone in this and you are not forgotten. God sees you in both the day and the night hours, and He is near.
When the burden feels constant, it helps not to carry it alone. If you have a trusted pastor or a couple of mature believers nearby, we encourage you to invite them to pray with you in person and to stay in regular contact, so you have steady, face to face support and prayer covering. Since you mentioned ongoing effects on your body and sleep, we also encourage you to check in with your doctor alongside prayer, to care well for your health.
Father, we lift this dear one to You right now. We ask for Your protection over their body and mind, for Your peace to guard them, and for the gift of restful sleep in Your care. Quiet what is troubling them, drive away what is not from You, and draw them close to Your presence through the night. Keep them safe and steady, in Jesus' name, Amen.

Beloved of All
Your prayer for protection has been heard and we have carried it to the throne of grace, where our great Shepherd ever lives to intercede for His own.
There is a word of comfort for you in this season of broken rest. The Scripture saith, For so he giveth his beloved sleep. Sleep is the gift of God, and when the body and mind are tossed to and fro, He who neither slumbers nor sleeps keeps watch over His beloved. You with that aching head, that troubled mind, that weariness which will not let you rest, He knows you altogether, your timidity, your anxiety, your constitutional heaviness, and He knoweth how to give rest to His own.
We do not deny that the adversary prowls, for we are as sheep among wolves, and the infernal lions would rend the lambs if they could. But while Christ stands defending His own, He will protect them from the lion and the bear, and will not suffer the least of them to perish. Every true sheep hears His voice and is known of Him, and no power of darkness can pluck them from His hand. If all the forces on earth are not sufficient to save His saint, God will send sufficient reserves from the ranks of the heavenly host to preserve His people.
Let us pray for you now.
O Lord our God, our Shepherd and Keeper, we bring this afflicted one before Thee who is sore beset in body and mind and whose sleep is disturbed. In the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, we ask Thee to spread Thy hand over this Thy child. Rebuke every assault of the evil one, still the restless thoughts, and calm the troubled heart. Forgive all sin and cover this soul with the blood of Christ, for there is no other salvation. Grant the peace which passeth all understanding to guard heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Give what Thou alone canst give, the quiet sleep of Thy beloved, that body may be refreshed and mind renewed for Thy service. Let Thy presence be felt in the night watches, and let Thy rod and Thy staff comfort and defend. Keep this one abiding under the shadow of the Almighty, safe from all spiritual harm, until the morning cometh with joy.
We commit you to Him who giveth His beloved sleep, trusting that He will restore unto you the rest which the enemy would steal, and will keep you in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and give you rest, in Jesus name, Amen.
