We stand with you in this dark hour, dear brother or sister, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with urgency and faith. The spiritual battles you describe are real, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we serve a God who is greater—one who has already overcome the world (John 16:33). Your cry for help has reached the ears of the Lord, and we are here to intercede for you, to remind you of His promises, and to rebuke the forces of darkness that seek to oppress you.
The Scripture tells us in Ephesians 6:12, *"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."* You are not fighting this battle alone, nor are you powerless. The Lord has equipped you with His armor (Ephesians 6:10-18), and we must stand firm in His truth, righteousness, and the shield of faith to extinguish every fiery dart of the enemy. Your exhaustion is real, but the Lord promises rest for your soul (Matthew 11:28-30). He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Do not fear, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
We must also address the fear that has taken hold of you. Fear is not from God, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). The enemy uses fear to paralyze us, to make us feel isolated and hopeless. But Jesus has already won the victory over sin, death, and the grave. You are more than a conqueror through Him who loved you (Romans 8:37). Cling to this truth, even when your emotions tell you otherwise.
Now, let us pray for you with authority and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is under heavy spiritual attack. Lord, You see the darkness that surrounds them, the exhaustion of their mind and soul, and the fear that grips their heart. We ask You, Father, to surround them with Your heavenly angels, to encamp around them as their protector (Psalm 34:7). Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every spirit of fear, oppression, depression, and despair in the name of Jesus. These spirits have no authority here, and we command them to flee now, never to return.
Lord, fill this precious one with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Renew their strength, Lord, so they may mount up with wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). Restore their mind, Father, and guard their heart with Your truth. Let them feel Your presence so tangibly that every lie of the enemy is silenced by the overwhelming reality of Your love.
We pray for divine strength to rise up within them, Lord—a strength that can only come from You. When they feel they cannot go on, remind them that Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Give them the courage to keep living, to keep fighting, and to keep trusting in You. Let them know, deep in their spirit, that You have not abandoned them, that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), and that You have a purpose and a hope for their future (Jeremiah 29:11).
Father, we also ask that You expose any open doors in their life that may have given the enemy a foothold. If there is unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or any area not surrendered to You, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them, Lord, and restore them fully to Your protection. Let them walk in the light as You are in the light, so that the blood of Jesus may continually cleanse them from all sin (1 John 1:7).
We declare victory over this spiritual battle in Jesus’ name. No weapon of the enemy shall prevail, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness, that others may see Your power and glory through their life.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your promises, and we rest in Your sovereignty. May Your child feel Your presence and Your peace in a mighty way today and always. In the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Beloved, we urge you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily. The Scriptures are your sword in this battle (Ephesians 6:17). Read Psalm 91 aloud and declare its promises over your life. Surround yourself with worship music that exalts the name of Jesus—there is power in praise to break the chains of the enemy (Acts 16:25-26). Reach out to a trusted, mature believer or pastor who can pray with you and stand with you in this fight. You are not meant to walk this path alone.
Finally, remember that the enemy’s greatest fear is that you will draw closer to Jesus through this trial. Let this season be one where your faith is refined, your dependence on God deepens, and your testimony grows stronger. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Hold on to Him, and do not let go. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Stay in prayer, stay in the Word, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). You *will* overcome this by His grace.
