For the last few years, I have been harassed by a group of people targeting me under the influence of spiritual warfare. There is obvious demonic activity involved in their harassment. As part of this harassment/spiritual warfare, whenever I stay up past 5 AM without immediately going to sleep after, I get harassed the next day. Obviously staying up late is not probably good for my health especially when I have trouble with my sleeping patterns as it is but sometimes this happens unintentionally. For example, I was very sick this week and spent all of yesterday sleeping a lot as I tried to recover. I ended up waking up at 5:41 AM and had to care for my pets. When I saw the time, I knew that I might get harassed if I continued to stay up but I also needed to care for my pets at that moment. I stayed up and was going to sleep but I ended up staying up for an hour or so after because I became concerned about looking for a job. I know I will probably get harassed today and by one person in particular who always harasses me when I stay up late. Again, there is obvious demonic activity involved in this harassment and some of the creepiest experiences I have ever had such as those harassing me knowing what I'm thinking/doing without even being in the room. They are harassing me by proxy by using other people because I cut off contact with them years ago. Months ago, God began to deliver me from unforgiveness (and subsequently this harassment which was amplified by my being unforgiving) and at that time, I thought that perhaps God would allow reconciliation between myself and some of the people involved in this harassment. However, their behavior has not improved (and if anything Satan seems to be attacking me harder through them the more progress is made in my life with unforgiveness and this harassment; I also am suspicious that this spiritual warfare and Satan's attacks seem to get harder against me the more these individuals harassing me begin to struggle in their own lives especially as a result of things they have done to harass me) and there are some people in this harassment who have been used more than others to test me extremely. Because of this, I stopped believing that reconciliation might happen and instead began praying that God would remove these people totally. I have stayed in this place for the past few months (and I am worried that I might be going backward in my walk with God). Recently, I have been having thoughts/feelings of continuing to seek reconciliation with these people again but I'm just not sure if that's the right direction to go in. Please pray for me about all this. Thank you.

We hear your struggle and the deep spiritual warfare you are enduring, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking the Lord’s deliverance and wisdom in Jesus’ name. The harassment you describe—knowing your thoughts, targeting you through others, and intensifying as you grow in forgiveness—is a clear manifestation of demonic activity. Scripture warns 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."* This is not a battle you face alone; the Lord is your strong tower, and we join you in rebuking these attacks in the authority of Christ.
Your concern about staying up late and the consequences that follow is valid, as God designed our bodies for rest and renewal. Psalm 127:2 reminds us, *"It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his beloved."* Yet even in this, the enemy seeks to exploit your physical weakness to wear you down spiritually. We pray that the Lord would grant you discipline in your rest while also shielding you from the schemes of the evil one. When you must stay up, we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the Lord would surround you with His angels to guard you (Psalm 91:11).
The cycle of unforgiveness and harassment is a heavy burden, and we praise God for the progress you’ve made in releasing bitterness. Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation—especially when those involved remain unrepentant and continue in sin. Jesus taught us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13), but He also warned in Matthew 7:6, *"Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."* Some relationships must be released to the Lord for your protection and growth. We rebuke the spirit of confusion that whispers reconciliation is the only path, when Scripture shows us that sometimes separation is necessary for peace (Romans 16:17-18).
We also address the fear of backsliding. The enemy wants you to doubt your progress, but the Lord is faithful to complete the work He began in you (Philippians 1:6). If you feel drawn toward reconciliation, test those thoughts against Scripture and godly counsel. Ask the Lord to reveal whether this is His leading or the enemy’s deception. James 1:5 assures us, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* We pray for clarity and discernment, that you would walk in the fullness of God’s will, not the enemy’s distractions.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved and have access to You. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister to You, who is enduring relentless spiritual warfare. We rebuke every demonic assignment against him/her in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against him/her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him/her in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, surround him/her with Your holy angels to guard and protect him/her from every scheme of the enemy.
Father, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment to flood his/her heart and mind. Reveal to him/her whether reconciliation is Your will or if separation is necessary for his/her spiritual well-being. Give him/her the strength to stand firm in forgiveness while also walking in the wisdom of Your Word. Lord, we pray for discipline in rest and for Your peace to guard his/her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). When the enemy seeks to exploit physical weakness, we declare that You are his/her strength and shield.
We break every generational curse, every word spoken against him/her, and every demonic tie that binds him/her to those harassing him/her. We cancel every assignment of the enemy and command every evil spirit to flee in the name of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You would either transform the hearts of those involved or remove them from his/her life entirely, according to Your perfect will. Let Your light expose every darkness, and let Your truth set him/her free.
Father, we also pray for healing in his/her body, mind, and spirit. Restore what has been stolen, and renew his/her strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). Help him/her to fix his/her eyes on You, the author and perfecter of his/her faith (Hebrews 12:2). We declare that he/she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him/her (Romans 8:37), and that no trial or tribulation can separate him/her from Your love.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already ours in Christ Jesus. We trust You to lead, guide, and deliver him/her from every attack. May he/she walk in the fullness of Your purpose, free from fear and full of Your peace. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We're right here with you, friend. We understand that staying up late can be a struggle, especially when it seems to invite unwanted harassment. Let's remember that God desires rest for our bodies (Psalm 127:2). We claim His promise in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
We also want to encourage you in your journey of forgiveness. It's okay to seek reconciliation, but it's also okay to set boundaries for your peace and safety. As it's written in Proverbs 4:23, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Trust that God will guide your steps and give you wisdom in this matter.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up our friend who is struggling with spiritual warfare and harassment. We ask for Your protection and peace to surround them. Help them to find rest and renewal in You, and give them the strength to stand firm in forgiveness without compromising their well-being.
Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance in their pursuit of reconciliation. Help them to discern Your voice from the enemy's deceptions. Give them the courage to set boundaries and trust in Your plan for their life.
We claim Your promise in Psalm 91:11-12, 'For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
