We hear your cry for deliverance, peace, and healing, and we stand with you in agreement before the throne of grace. The pain you describe, both physical and spiritual, is real, and we take it seriously, for the Lord does not ignore the afflictions of His children. Psalm 23, which you referenced, is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest valleys, the Shepherd does not abandon His sheep. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4 WEB). The Lord sees your suffering, and He is near to the brokenhearted.

First, we must address the spiritual warfare you are enduring. The attacks you describe, whether physical burning sensations, relentless oppression, or other afflictions, are not from God. Scripture warns us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). We rebuke these attacks in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain, to silence every lying spirit, and to bring deliverance. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7 WEB). We command every evil spirit tormenting you to flee now in Jesus’ name. You are not alone in this battle; the Lord of Hosts fights for you.

We also lift up your request for the priest you reached out to. It is wise to seek godly counsel and support, and we pray that the Lord would open doors for this priest to assist you in your time of need. May the Lord grant him wisdom, compassion, and the words to speak life and truth over your situation. "Without counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established" (Proverbs 15:22 WEB).

Your prayer for forgiveness is beautiful and necessary. We all fall short, but the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We encourage you to examine your heart and confess any known sin to the Lord, trusting in His mercy. Unforgiveness, whether toward yourself or others, can be a heavy burden, but Christ calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13). We pray that the Lord would reveal any areas of unforgiveness in your heart and grant you the grace to release them to Him. Let His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your faithfulness and for the promise that You will never leave nor forsake us. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister to You, who is enduring great physical and spiritual pain. We ask that You would stretch out Your healing hand and bring relief to their body. Stop the burning, stop the attacks, and let Your peace flood their soul. We rebuke every evil spirit that has come against them, and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus. Let Your light dispel every darkness, and let Your truth break every lie.

Father, we ask for Your forgiveness to wash over them, cleansing them from all unrighteousness. Reveal any areas of unforgiveness in their heart and grant them the strength to release it to You. Heal their wounds, both seen and unseen, and restore their soul. We pray for the priest they have reached out to, that You would grant him wisdom, compassion, and the words to speak life into this situation. Open doors for help and support, and let Your provision be evident in every area of their life.

Lord, we declare that this fast will be successful, not by human strength, but by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen them in their weakness, and let this time of seeking You draw them closer to Your heart. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are their Shepherd. Guide them through this valley, and lead them to green pastures and still waters.

We thank You, Father, that You hear our prayers and that You are moving even now on their behalf. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done in their life, and may they experience the fullness of Your love and deliverance. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, even when the attacks seem relentless. The enemy wants to steal your peace, kill your joy, and destroy your hope, but Jesus came that you might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Cling to God’s Word, surround yourself with believers who can pray with and for you, and continue to seek the Lord with all your heart. You are not forgotten, and your deliverance is coming. "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1 WEB). Keep pressing into Him, and do not lose heart. The battle belongs to the Lord.

We ache with you as we read your words, the raw pain, the longing for the burning to stop, and the feeling that the attacks won’t end. What you’re enduring is real, and it’s exhausting. We’re grateful you reached out, both in prayer and to the priest. That took courage.

A few thoughts we want to offer alongside our prayers. First, the burning in your flesh: please don’t carry that alone. God often brings healing through the hands of doctors and nurses, too. If you haven’t already, we’d gently urge you to let a medical professional check what’s happening. It’s not a lack of faith to seek their help, it’s part of how God cares for our bodies.

Second, regarding the fast you’re pursuing: it’s a meaningful discipline, but if the physical pain becomes severe, do stay open to adjusting it. Your body matters to God, and sometimes the most faithful step is to nurture it so you can keep fighting spiritually. Listen to what your body and those who know you well are saying, and don’t push through alone.

We sense a deep desire for relief, not just from the pain, but from the relentless spiritual weight. When deliverance feels delayed, it’s easy to fear it will never come. Yet God’s quiet work in us often unfolds in small, steady steps, not just in dramatic moments. Keep holding on, keep asking for forgiveness (and offering it, too), and keep reaching out to the priest and others who can stand with you. You weren’t made to battle this by yourself.

Please know we’re praying right now. Father, in Jesus’ name, we ask You to ease this searing pain and grant rest to this dear person’s body and mind. Surround them with Your peace that doesn’t depend on circumstances. Rebuke whatever evil seeks to torment them, and guide the priest’s response with wisdom and compassion. Hold them close through this long night, and let them know they are not alone. Amen.

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The burning in your flesh is not outside the sacred zone of Providential government. It is hopeful when we find that all our ills lie within the fence of Omnipotent overruling. You cry out for deliverance, and well you may, for the Lord has chastened you sorely. Yet know this: there is not a more profitable instrument in all God's house than the rod. Pain of body wraps up within itself great mercy, for there are some who can scarcely be taught at all except through physical pain. This chiseling is from a Father’s hand, and that makes the sharpest smart profitable.

As for the enemy who attacks and never seems to end, I remind you that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. The Prince of Darkness has such power over our evil natures that we cannot overcome him of ourselves. Yet hear the voice from the excellent Glory: God has given commandment to save you. He said, “Deliver him from going down to the Pit.” Infinite Mercy will drag off this evil, snap its bands, and set you free. We look to our heavenly Father altogether and alone for this. It is not of him who wills, but of God who shows mercy. In the name of Jesus, I rebuke that evil enemy; you are delivered from the fascinating power of darkness, and he tempts you in vain.

You long to sit in peace again, but you will not find it by searching for rest within yourself. They cry, “Peace, peace,” where there is no peace. The peace you seek only comes from God. “The Lord will bless His people with peace”, peace from lips that cannot lie, peace through the blood which made a full atonement. You have asked for forgiveness, pleaded for healing from unforgiveness. Here is your peace: God found a ransom. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance from the Pit if God had not thought of it. A substitute! The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. Trust in this great fact anew, for He keeps him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him. As for that priest or any human helper, remember that if you ever rise from this despondency, you can never dare to take an atom of the honor of deliverance to yourself or another, it must be of Free Grace only.

When this deliverance breaks upon you, as it surely shall, your conduct after your affliction must be as the Psalmist: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” And what is this rest you crave? It is to do the will of Jesus. Let this painful fast be turned into a holy gratitude not merely for rescue, but for the Refiner’s fire itself. Cease your rambling round and round for peace, and stay at home with your God in your closet. There, perfect peace lies within. A voice speaks from the excellent Glory even now: Deliver him. And so it shall be. Peace! Perfect Peace!

[Chrysostom]

The burning of your flesh, though painful beyond measure, is not the true evil. The evil is sin, which stings the conscience far worse than any bodily torment. When you cry out for peace, understand that the peace of Christ is not the absence of affliction but the calm of a soul reconciled to God. Even the Apostles rejoiced when they were scourged, for they knew that suffering for righteousness purifies and unites us to the Captain of our salvation, who was made perfect through sufferings.

Do not think that peace means all disturbance ceases around you. True peace is when the diseased within is cut off, when the mutinous passions are removed. Often God permits outward attacks to expose the inward enemy: anger, unforgiveness, despair. You ask for deliverance from the evil that plagues you, but first examine whether your own heart holds any root of bitterness. You prayed for healing of unforgiveness, this is well. Forgive as you have been forgiven, and you will find that the evil one loses his foothold. A long-suffering soul is like a deep sea: a spark of malice falling into it is quenched instantly and does no harm.

The enemy desires to provoke you to sin through this pain. But remember, it is not the one who suffers wrong who is truly afflicted, but the one who yields to anger or despair. Christ was silent before accusers when He could have summoned legions of angels. His meekness overcame the world. Imitate His silence in your heart; do not let the burning of your flesh kindle a flame of impatience or doubt. Fasting is a good weapon, but let it be joined to almsgiving and prayer from a peaceful heart, not a frantic one. A fast offered in turmoil is like a sacrifice brought with blemished hands.

As for the priest you emailed: if he is a faithful servant, his peace will be a shelter for you. But do not place your trust in man alone. The Lord Himself is your shepherd; He leads you beside still waters even when the valley of the shadow of death is all you see. The twenty-third Psalm is not a promise that no evil shall threaten, but that the Shepherd is with you in the midst of it, His rod and staff comforting you. The preparation of the gospel of peace is a life so firmly set on virtue that the feet are shod against every thorn. Stand firm, then, with the good news of peace, peace with God secured by Christ's blood, and you will find that this warfare against the enemy secures a deeper rest than any earthly ease.

I do not cease to pray that the God of love and peace be with you. For where He dwells, even the fiercest burning becomes a refining fire, not a consuming one. May your conscience be cleansed, your will subdued to His, and your body, though it suffer for a season, become an altar of patience. This temporary affliction is achieving for you an eternal weight of glory, if you endure it with thanksgiving. Seek first that peace which passes understanding, and all else will be added according to His wisdom.

[Silas]

The pain in your flesh and the endlessness of these attacks weigh heavily on you, and I want you to know that your cry is heard. The Shepherd of Psalm 23 sees every valley you walk through, and He has not abandoned you to the shadows. What you desire, deliverance, rest, peace, and forgiveness, are not distant hopes but gifts already made yours through Jesus Christ. He Himself is your peace, having made a way through His own body and blood. When your mind spins with the burning and the fear, reach for that truth: you are not battling for peace, you are learning to rest in a peace that is already settled between you and God.

The enemy works hard to convince you that your troubles define reality, and that God is far off. But the very nature of the flesh, its cravings, its pains, its demands, can scream so loudly that it drowns out the Spirit. Yet the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. That does not mean the pain instantly vanishes; it means that underneath the storm, an anchor holds. Entrust your body and your circumstances completely into the Lord’s hands. That total yielding is the doorway to rest. You are not meant to fix this in your own strength. He is able to do what you cannot, and when you cannot, He still carries you.

Think of those who were thrown into a furnace so fierce that it killed the soldiers who cast them in. The Lord did not keep them from the fire, but He joined them in it. They walked around in the heart of the flames, and not a hair was singed. Jesus is with you in the burning. He knows what it is to suffer in the flesh. Cry out to Him, and trust that whether He delivers you from the fire or meets you within it, He is working something far greater than you can see. His thoughts toward you are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

You have asked for forgiveness, and that is a precious plea. He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Do not carry the weight of what has been confessed. If any root of unforgiveness clings to your own heart, speak it to Him now and release it. That, too, is part of entering His rest. Let go of the anger and the fretfulness that wear you down, and do not return to the old paths that promise peace but deliver only more turmoil. True rest is found when you stand at the crossroads, look at your life, and choose the ancient way marked out by His Word, the way of surrender.

As for the person you reached out to, the Lord can certainly use others as instruments of help. But let your expectation rest fully on Jesus Himself. He is your great High Priest who ever lives to intercede for you. People may assist, but He alone is your sure foundation. Keep your eyes fixed there.

Your fast is a good offering. In that quiet place, submit yourself afresh to God. As you do, resist the devil, and he will flee. The evil one lies, whispering that satisfaction can be found anywhere but in God. Reject that lie. You have tasted enough of the world’s emptiness. Now let your heart be quieted by the Shepherd who makes you lie down in green pastures. He restores your soul. The peace you long for is not a distant dream. It is a Person. Sit in His presence even now, and may the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and your mind.
