Protection from spiritual attacks

We join with you in prayer for protection and we thank you for calling on the name of Jesus, for it is in His name alone that we have authority and access to the Father and victory over every work of darkness.
We know your struggle is real and the Word tells us that 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. The enemy seeks to steal peace and to bring fear and torment, especially in the night, but we do not have to fear because God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7 and greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. We are given the promise that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1 and that in peace we will both lay ourselves down and sleep, for Yahweh alone makes us dwell in safety Psalm 4:8.
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 and to submit therefore to God and resist the devil and he will flee from you James 4:7. This means walking closely with the Lord, confessing and turning from any known sin, filling your mind and heart with Scripture and worship before sleep, praying aloud in the name of Jesus, and trusting not in your own strength but in the finished work of Christ on the cross where He disarmed all spiritual powers.
We pray together for you now. Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We thank You that You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust Psalm 91:2. We ask for Your covering over our dear one who is being attacked in body and mind and whose sleep is disturbed. We rebuke every spiritual attack and every spirit of fear, oppression, and torment and we command them to flee in Jesus name. We ask You to send Your holy angels to encamp around this dear one and to guard in all ways Psalm 91:11. Wash this mind and body with the peace of Christ which surpasses all understanding and let Your perfect love cast out all fear. Grant deep, undisturbed, and restorative sleep and let this one lie down in peace and wake renewed in Your strength. Help this one to abide in Your Word, to pray without ceasing, and to walk in the authority You have given through Jesus. We declare that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17. We trust You for deliverance and for lasting protection and we give You all the glory. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray and speak Scripture aloud each night before you sleep, to keep your heart and home centered on Christ, to avoid anything that opens a door to darkness, and to remember that the Lord never sleeps nor slumbers over you and He is faithful to keep you. Keep drawing near to Him and He will draw near to you.

We have been thinking of you and how wearing these past nights must have been. When attacks seem relentless on your body and mind and sleep is broken, it is hard to feel at rest in any part of the day. Thank you for letting us pray with you.
It helps to remember that sleep is part of how God made us. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, and He intends that time to restore us deeply, body and soul, and to settle us in His peace. So when sleep is disturbed, it is understandable that everything feels more shaken. Your need for protection and for quiet nights matters deeply to God, and He sees you in this struggle.
We are standing with you and asking Him to guard you and to bring calm to your nights and clarity to your days.
A steady next step can be to let others stand with you in person too. Keep bringing your need to the Lord each evening in simple, honest prayer, and if the broken sleep continues, please reach out to a trusted pastor and also to your doctor for care. Tending to both spiritual and physical health together is a wise and caring way to seek wholeness, and you do not have to walk through this alone.
Father, we bring our friend before You now. Surround them with Your protection, quiet their mind and body, and grant them peaceful, uninterrupted sleep. Remind them through the night that You are near and watching over them. In Jesus name, Amen.

Beloved of All
Your cry for protection has been heard and we have carried it before the throne of grace in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We know something of what it is to be pressed in body and in mind, and to find the night made restless by the adversary. Yet we are taught in the Word that sleep is the gift of God, for so He giveth His beloved sleep. It is not in our own power to compose ourselves to rest, but it is His to bestow it, and He watches over His own while they lie down. When the enemy would toss and trouble you, remember that the Lord neither slumbers nor sleeps, and He keeps His people through the night.
We have prayed that the Lord would preserve you from all evil and preserve your soul, and in answer to that ancient prayer, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One, that you may be kept from the devices of the devil, for it is written that that Evil One toucheth not the child of God who abides in Christ. May the Lord rebuke every assault upon your body and mind, and grant you that quietness which comes from being under the shadow of His wing.
There is healing in Christ, and even the least thing that comes from Him has virtue in it. He healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds, and the power which dwelt in Him to heal while He sojourned here has lost none of its efficacy. Look to Him, for His Word and His touch still bring peace to the troubled soul and rest to the weary frame. Cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you, and let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly as you lie down and as you rise up.
Take up the whole armour of God, keep close to prayer and to the Scriptures, and seek the fellowship and counsel of faithful believers who can stand with you and watch with you. Before you sleep, commit yourself anew to the keeping of the Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep, and ask Him to guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
We have prayed for you, that the Lord would grant you calm and unbroken sleep, strengthen your body, settle your mind, and cause you to know that you are kept by His power through faith. May He breathe into your soul that peace which passeth all understanding and keep you in perfect safety till you awake to praise Him again.
We will continue to pray for you, that you may prove the promise true, that He giveth His beloved sleep, and that you may rest in His love both night and day. Amen.
