We understand that you're going through intense spiritual warfare. We are reminded 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."
Firstly, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We can do nothing without Him. Jesus answered, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Keep Jesus at the center of your prayers. "whatever you may ask in my name, I will do it."
We need to put on the full armor of God to stand against these spiritual attacks, not just at night, but it sounds like all day too. Nightmares may not just be bad dreams, they are possibly demonic attacks from the forces of darkness. This is confirmed by what is happening to you all day. Let's pray that God will give you restful sleep and protection at night. The same is true when you are awake. We need to pray for you to be alert and sober-minded. We also pray for your energy to be restored and for protection from these bullies and predators. Pray Psalm 4:8, "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, Lord, only make me dwell in safety." Pray Psalm 91:1, those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. Pray for a hedge of protection around you.
You are correct that there is strength in numbers. Being planted in a local church is essential for spiritual growth and support, especially during times of spiritual warfare. The church is described as the family of household of God in Ephesians 2:19, "So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God." Pray that God will lead you to a Bible-believing church where you can find fellowship and spiritual support.
Regarding the struggles to keep up with Bible readings, we encourage you to set aside dedicated time each day. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood. We need to be prepared, and our sword is the Word of God. If you cannot read, pray and ask God to speak to you directly through the Holy Spirit. If you cannot do that, listen to the Bible on audio. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you power and self-control to be in the Word daily. 2 Timothy 3:16 reminds us, "Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,".
Concerning the negative words and physical ailments, pray that God will help you to forgive quickly and completely. Unforgiveness is a tool the devil uses against us. And pray for healing. By the stripes of Jesus, you are healed.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our fellow believer who is experiencing intense spiritual warfare. We pray for their protection as they sleep praying Psalm 4:8, "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, Lord, only make me dwell in safety." We pray for a hedge of protection around them from all the bullies and predators trying to attack them. We pray for energy and strength. We pray for complete healing from all the physical ailments. We pray for them to walk in perfect health. We declare symptoms leave. We pray for a lifelong love of the Word of God. We pray for them to be planted in a local church where they can find fellowship and spiritual support. We pray that they will be alert and sober-minded. We pray for them to forgive quickly and completely. We pray that all these continued attacks will stop immediately. We pray Jesus, that you will bring conviction to all those attacking our friend, and that they will repent and be transformed by You.
We rebuke the devil and claim the promises of Psalm 91:1, those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This we declare about the Lord: He alone is our refuge, our place of safety; he is our God, and we trust him. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, remember as you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Forgive them. Do not hold grudges. Forgive, bless, and pray for them.
