Please pray that I will be able to buy something for my parents that I have been promising to buy all year. I currently don't have the money to. Please also pray for God to give me and my mother wisdom about when to send in the first payment for my sister who passed away last year's burial. We need to be wise in how we send it so that we will be able to afford the second payment in time. Please also pray for me about hurdles I am dealing with related to forgiveness. God has helped me see that most of the evil that has been done to me in my life has been due to demonic harassment influencing people to do terrible things to me to keep me bound in unforgiveness. Because of this, he has helped me see that I should not blame the certain people who have targeted me because their behavior was under demonic influence and not their own. I have been doing well with being obedient to this so far but right now I'm really struggling and I think it may be due to a medical condition that affects my mood and emotions or possibly due to eating things that are affecting me physiologically like my blood sugar. I feel very unforgiving and angry toward these individuals and negatively toward them like I did before being obedient to God. And I almost feel like people are behaving negatively toward me today as a result of the demonic influence trying to flare up today coinciding with my being in a bad mood. I'm sorry that I'm sinning against God this way. Please also pray for me about having problems with my energy levels likely due to a medical condition and also having energy problems due to lack of sleep. Something that is frustrating is I get very sleepy after a meal which can make socializing with other people difficult. Not having enough energy affects so many aspects of life and sometimes I don't have the ability to take a nap when I'm tired.
Purchase & forgiveness, spiritual warfare

We lift you up in prayer, dear sibling in Christ, as you seek God’s provision, wisdom, and victory in these areas of your life. You have brought many concerns before us, and we want to address each one with biblical truth, encouragement, and intercession.
First, we commend you for your desire to honor your parents by fulfilling your promise to them. The Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 5:8, *"But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."* Your heart to care for your family is pleasing to God, and we trust Him to provide for this need. However, we must also remind you that God’s provision does not always mean immediate financial abundance. Sometimes, He calls us to wait, to trust, and to seek His wisdom in stewardship. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* We pray that God will open doors for you to obtain what is needed, whether through unexpected income, wise budgeting, or even a change in the timing of this purchase. May He grant you patience and faith as you wait on Him, remembering that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Regarding the burial payments for your sister, we understand the weight of this responsibility. The Bible encourages us to act with wisdom and discernment in financial matters. Proverbs 21:5 says, *"The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and those who are in a hurry surely rush to poverty."* We pray that God will grant you and your mother clear direction on when and how to send the first payment, ensuring that the second payment can also be met without undue hardship. May He provide favor with those handling the arrangements and give you peace as you trust in His provision. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."*
Now, we turn to the matter of forgiveness, which is clearly a spiritual battle you are facing. You have shown great insight in recognizing that much of the evil done against you has been influenced by demonic forces. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"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."* However, while it is true that people can be used as instruments of the enemy, the Bible does not absolve individuals of their responsibility for their actions. Each person is accountable before God for their choices (Romans 14:12). That said, your focus on forgiving those who have wronged you is biblically sound. Jesus commands us in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."*
Your struggle with unforgiveness and anger is a serious matter, and we urge you to take it before the Lord with urgency. The enemy will exploit any opening to keep you in bondage, and unforgiveness is one of his most effective tools. Hebrews 12:15 warns, *"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* We rebuke the spirits of bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness that are attempting to regain a foothold in your life. In the name of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee, and we ask the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh with His love, peace, and power. Remember, forgiveness is not a feeling—it is an act of obedience. You may not *feel* like forgiving, but you can *choose* to forgive by the power of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 3:13 says, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."*
We also note your mention of potential medical or dietary influences on your mood and emotions. The Bible acknowledges the connection between our physical and spiritual well-being. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us, *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* We encourage you to seek medical advice if you haven’t already, and to be mindful of how your diet and sleep affect your body. Lack of sleep can weaken your spiritual resolve, making you more vulnerable to attack. Psalm 4:8 says, *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety."* We pray that God will grant you restorative sleep and the energy you need to fulfill your daily tasks. If there are underlying medical issues, we ask Him to reveal them and provide the means for healing and strength.
Lastly, we must address something missing from your request: the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* John 14:6 says, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* When we pray, we must come in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to God’s throne. If you have not already placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Romans 10:9 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* If you have already surrendered to Christ, we encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is by His authority that we are heard.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sibling who is seeking Your face in the midst of many trials. Lord, we ask that You provide the financial means for them to honor their parents by fulfilling their promise. Give them wisdom and discernment regarding the burial payments, and let Your peace guard their heart as they trust in Your provision. We pray for supernatural favor and open doors where there seem to be none.
Father, we stand against the spirits of unforgiveness, bitterness, and anger that are attempting to ensnare this beloved child of Yours. We rebuke these spirits in the name of Jesus and command them to flee. Fill our sibling with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in love, forgiveness, and victory. Remind them, Lord, that forgiveness is not optional but a commandment, and empower them to obey You even when their emotions resist.
We also pray for their physical health—grant them restorative sleep, energy, and clarity of mind. If there are medical or dietary issues contributing to their struggles, reveal them and provide the wisdom and resources to address them. Strengthen their body, soul, and spirit, that they may be equipped for the battles ahead.
Lord, we thank You that You are faithful, even when we are weak. We ask that You surround our sibling with Your protection, Your peace, and Your presence. Let them know that they are not alone in this fight, for You are with them, and we are standing with them in prayer. May they walk in the freedom and victory that Jesus purchased for them on the cross.
Finally, Father, we pray that our sibling will always come before You in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we are saved. Strengthen their faith, deepen their relationship with You, and let them experience the power of praying in Jesus’ name.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
