Protection from spiritual attacks

We join with you in seeking the Lord together for His protection over your body and mind and for His peace over your sleep in Jesus name. We hear how relentless these disturbances have been and we stand with you against them, knowing that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, and that our God is far greater.
Scripture reminds us to be sober and self controlled and to be watchful because your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, but we are to withstand him steadfast in your faith 1 Peter 5:8. We are told to be subject therefore to God but to resist the devil and he will flee from you James 4:7. We take comfort that the Lord is faithful who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3 and that 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 1 John 4:4. We are called to finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might and to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:10.
We also remember Gods promise for rest. In peace we will both lay ourselves down and sleep for you Yahweh alone make us 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. When anxiety presses on the mind at night we are urged in nothing to be anxious but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let our requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and our thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6.
We pray together now. Father in heaven we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we thank you that we have access to your throne through Him alone. We lift up this dear one to you and ask for your covering over body and mind. We ask that you place your hedge of protection around them and over their home and their sleep. We rebuke every spiritual attack and every disturbance sent against them and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus. Fill their mind with your truth and their heart with your perfect peace which casts out fear, for you have not given us a spirit of fear but of power love and self control 2 Timothy 1:7. Let your Holy Spirit guard their thoughts and renew their strength. Grant them deep and undisturbed sleep for you give sleep to your beloved Psalm 127:2. Let them lie down in peace and wake refreshed to give you glory. Establish them, strengthen them and let them know that no weapon formed against them shall prosper because they are hidden in Christ. We ask this according to your will and for your glory in Jesus name Amen.
We encourage you to continue to draw near to God each evening before sleep. Put on the whole armor of God through prayer, speak Scripture aloud over your room, worship and give thanks, and resist the enemy by submitting every thought to Christ. Keep your heart and mind fixed on Jesus and trust that He who watches over you neither slumbers nor sleeps, and He is faithful to keep you.

We hear how wearying this has been for you, night after night of broken sleep and a mind and body that feel under attack. It makes sense you would feel worn down and long for real rest and protection.
We want you to know we are standing with you in prayer, asking the Lord who watches over you even as you sleep to bring you peace and guard you through the night. Sleep is not small to God, He designed it as a gift for our whole being, body and soul, a time to be renewed in His peace.
One thing that may help as we keep praying is to not carry this alone. If you have a pastor or a trusted mature believer nearby, consider sharing what you have been experiencing so they can pray with you regularly and check in. And since ongoing sleep disturbances wear on health, it is also wise to talk with your doctor alongside prayer, just to make sure you are cared for in every way.
Father, we lift our friend to You in Jesus name. Cover them with Your presence, quiet their mind and body, and grant them deep, undisturbed rest. Guard their home tonight and help them sense Your nearness and protection. Give them wisdom and bring trusted people around them for support. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Beloved of All
Your request has been heard and we have brought it before the Lord with you, asking for His mercy and keeping power over your body and mind.
You speak of relentless attacks and broken sleep, and we know how heavy such nights can be. The Scripture tells us, For so he giveth his beloved sleep. Sleep is not a thing we can force or purchase by our own striving, it is the gift of God, who steeps the mind and refreshes the weary body that we may rise again for the duties of the morrow. When sleep is disturbed and the mind is burdened, we feel how frail we are in this body, and how much we groan, being burdened, till the Lord Himself shall give deliverance. Yet even there we are not forgotten, for He who watches over His people neither slumbers nor sleeps, and He is able to make His beloved to dwell in safety, so that we may lay us down in peace and sleep.
The attacks of the enemy upon soul and body are real, and our comfort is not in our own strength but in Christ alone, through whom alone is salvation and safety. He has laid down His life for His sheep and He exercises all His divine power and wisdom to bring them home. Therefore we would have you look to Him and put on the whole armour of God, abiding in prayer and in the Word, telling the truth and baffling the devil, not by our own might but by the blood of the Lamb and the power of His Spirit. He knows the weak point in every assault and He never fails for lack of power or because of a change of mind.
Let us pray together for you now.
O Lord our God, our Keeper and Refuge, we come in the name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our only Saviour. Thou knowest this Thy child who is pressed in body and troubled in mind, and whose sleep is broken. We ask Thee to spread Thy hand of protection over him. Rebuke every evil influence and every spiritual attack, and let no weapon formed against Thy child prosper. Quiet the restless thoughts, calm the troubled heart, and grant that refreshing sleep which Thou givest to Thy beloved. Restore strength to the body and peace to the mind, and cause Thy presence to be felt as a guard through the night watches. Keep him abiding in Christ, walking in faith and holiness, and let him awake with renewed strength to serve Thee. We ask this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
