We understand your heart’s cry for protection, restoration, and privacy, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord. It is clear you are seeking God’s intervention in your dreams and personal life, and we commend you for turning to Him in prayer. However, we must gently address a few things to ensure your prayers are fully aligned with Scripture and the power available to you in Christ.
First, we notice you invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, and we rejoice in this! There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your use of His name is vital, but we encourage you to focus on His holy and mighty nature rather than casual phrasing. Jesus is not just a "mighty fine" name—He is the Name above all names, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords (Philippians 2:9-11). When we pray, let us approach Him with reverence, trusting in His sovereignty and goodness.
Now, regarding your request about dreams, we want to remind you that God is the giver of all good gifts, including peaceful rest and dreams that align with His will. However, we must be cautious not to place undue emphasis on dreams as a primary way God speaks today. While God *can* use dreams (as seen in Scripture with Joseph, Daniel, and others), His primary way of communicating with His people now is through His written Word, the Bible. *"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness"* (2 Timothy 3:16, WEB). If you are seeking clarity, direction, or comfort, we encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth (John 16:13).
As for your desire to conceal your feelings and personal matters from others, we understand the need for privacy and boundaries. However, we must also consider whether there is fear, bitterness, or unforgiveness in your heart that needs to be surrendered to the Lord. Scripture tells us, *"Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna"* (Matthew 10:28, WEB). Our ultimate security is in Christ, not in hiding from others. If there are people in your life who have caused you pain or whom you distrust, we encourage you to pray for them and release any resentment to the Lord. *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB).
Lastly, we want to remind you that God sees your heart and knows your deepest needs—even those you cannot put into words. *"Likewise, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered"* (Romans 8:26, WEB). You do not need to fear that God will overlook your requests or that others will interfere with His work in your life. Trust in His perfect timing and His good plans for you.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister/brother who seeks Your protection, restoration, and peace. Lord, You are the God who neither slumbers nor sleeps, the One who watches over Your children with unwavering love. We ask that You guard their mind and heart in Christ Jesus, granting them restful sleep and dreams that align with Your will. Remove any fear, anxiety, or distress that may be troubling them, and replace it with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we pray that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). If there are any areas of unforgiveness, bitterness, or fear in their heart, we ask that You would reveal them by Your Holy Spirit and grant the grace to release them to You. Help them to trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray for wisdom and discernment. If there are relationships or situations causing distress, give them the courage to set godly boundaries and to walk in love and forgiveness. May they find their security in You alone, not in hiding from others, but in resting in Your unfailing love.
Lord, we ask that You would fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they may walk worthily of You, Lord, to please You in all respects (Colossians 1:9-10). May they find comfort in Your Word and strength in Your presence.
We rebuke any spiritual attacks or schemes of the enemy to bring confusion, fear, or unrest. Greater are You who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We declare that their mind is stayed on You, and they are kept in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3).
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your good plans for their life. In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord through prayer and Scripture. If there are specific relationships or struggles you’d like biblical counsel on, we are here to help. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you with grace and peace.
