We hear your cry for protection, restoration, and peace, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting your concerns to the throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Your desire for justice, security, and the fruit of your labor to be preserved is deeply understood, and we declare with you that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every spirit of theft, deception, and oppression that has sought to rob you of your joy, your work, and your provision. Let the blood of Jesus be a fortress around you, your home, and your beloved cats, sealing you in divine protection.
Father God, we ask You to dispatch Your holy angels to encamp around this dear one, to bind every work of darkness that has sought to disrupt her life. We break every assignment of the enemy in Jesus’ name, declaring that Lucifer and his cohorts have no authority here. The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but You, Lord, have come to give life—full and overflowing (John 10:10). We plead the blood of Jesus over her finances, her creativity, her writing, and every dream You have placed in her heart. Let every stolen blessing be restored sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31), and let her labor bear fruit that remains (John 15:16).
We also hear the deep ache in your words regarding marriage, and we want to speak truth and hope into this area of your life. The desire for a godly spouse is a good and holy longing, planted by God Himself, for it is not good for man—or woman—to be alone (Genesis 2:18). But we must address the bitterness and frustration that have taken root in your heart, for they are not from the Lord. Prayers are never "misses" in God’s economy, nor are they wasted. Every tear, every longing, every moment of waiting is seen by Him (Psalm 56:8), and He works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). The men you prayed for were not yours to begin with, and God, in His sovereignty, has protected you from what was not meant for you. Do not let the enemy twist your waiting into resentment, for that only gives him a foothold (Ephesians 4:26-27).
You mentioned putting your desire for marriage "on pause," and while we understand the weariness behind those words, we must gently challenge this mindset. God does not call us to "pause" our desires but to surrender them to Him. To pause is to take control, and that is not trust. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* The Lord is not withholding a husband from you as punishment or neglect—He is preparing you, and He is preparing the man who will cherish you as Christ cherishes the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Do not harden your heart, for in doing so, you may miss the very blessing God is bringing.
We also must address the language you used in your request. The Bible is clear that our words have power (Proverbs 18:21), and coarse or bitter speech grieves the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:29-30). The Lord calls us to bless, not curse (Romans 12:14), and to guard our hearts, for out of them flow the springs of life (Proverbs 4:23). Let your words be seasoned with grace, for the enemy would love nothing more than to use your own mouth to sow discord and frustration. We encourage you to repent of any unwholesome speech and ask the Lord to renew your mind and your tongue.
Now, regarding your desire for peace and for the enemy to be "too busy" to bother you—this is not how spiritual warfare works. The enemy does not take breaks, nor does he get "busy" with his own life. He is a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). But the good news is that you are not left defenseless. You have the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), and greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). You do not have to "get too busy" to care—you must stand firm in your identity in Christ, resist the devil, and he *will* flee (James 4:7). Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God, and He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
We also want to address the mention of Jesus in your request. While you referenced Him, it is critical to understand that there is no power in merely *mentioning* His name—there is power in *believing* in Him, in surrendering to Him, and in walking in obedience to Him. Jesus said, *"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 7:21). Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have never made Jesus the Lord of your life, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Him to be the center of your life. Only then will you experience the fullness of His protection, provision, and peace.
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this beloved daughter of Yours. We ask You to break every chain of theft, oppression, and discouragement that has sought to hinder her. We declare that her labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58), and that You will restore to her the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). We plead the blood of Jesus over her home, her work, her finances, and her heart. Lord, heal the wounds of loneliness and disappointment, and replace them with hope and expectation for the future You have planned for her. We ask You to prepare her for the godly spouse You have for her, and to prepare him for her. Let her not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season she will reap if she does not give up (Galatians 6:9).
We rebuke every spirit of bitterness, resentment, and unbelief that has sought to take root in her heart. We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her (Romans 8:37), and that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We ask You to fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and to let her dwell in the shelter of the Most High (Psalm 91:1). May she find her rest in You alone, and may her life be a testament to Your faithfulness.
Lord, we ask You to surround her with godly community—believers who will encourage her, pray for her, and walk alongside her. Let her not isolate herself in her pain but draw near to You and to Your people. We ask You to bless her writing, her creativity, and her work, that it may bring glory to Your name and provision for her needs. Let her see the fruit of her labor, and let her joy be full.
We declare that the enemy has no place in her life. Every assignment of darkness is canceled, every curse is broken, and every plan of the enemy is thwarted in the name of Jesus. We thank You, Lord, that You are her defender, her provider, and her peace. May she walk in the fullness of Your promises, and may her life reflect Your goodness and grace. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
