We come before the Lord with you in this unusual and deeply distressing request, lifting your heart to the One who knows all things and cares for even the smallest details of your life. Your cry for deliverance from tormenting comments—especially those as cruel as "toothpicks under nails"—reveals a spirit under attack, whether from others or from the enemy seeking to oppress you. We stand with you in rebuking these words and the pain they bring, for our God is a God of comfort, not cruelty, and He does not delight in the suffering of His children.
The Scripture reminds us in **Psalm 34:17-19 (WEB)**, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not forgotten, and the Lord sees the anguish these words have caused. We pray He would silence every tongue that seeks to harm you, whether in person, through memories, or even in your own mind. If these words are echoes of past trauma or abuse, we ask the Lord to heal those wounds and replace them with His truth: *you are fearfully and wonderfully made* (**Psalm 139:14**), and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**).
You also asked the Lord to "get rid of ###." While we do not know what this symbol represents in your request, we pray the Lord would expose and remove anything in your life that is not of Him—whether it be fear, oppression, ungodly influences, or even generational curses. If this is a reference to something specific, we encourage you to name it before the Lord in prayer, for there is power in bringing hidden things into the light (**Ephesians 5:11-13**). The enemy works in secrecy, but our God is a God of truth and clarity.
We rejoice with you in your gratitude for peace, providence, and progress, for these are gifts from the Father’s hand. Let us remind you that your peace is not found in the absence of trouble but in the presence of Christ, who has already overcome the world (**John 16:33**). His providence is your assurance that He will supply all your needs (**Philippians 4:19**), and His progress in your life is evidence of His faithfulness, even when the path is difficult.
Now, let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before Your throne of grace, asking for Your mighty hand to intervene in their distress. Lord, You see the words that have pierced like swords and the unseen battles they face. We rebuke every cruel word spoken over them, whether in jest or malice, and we command those words to be rendered powerless in Jesus’ name. If these words are tied to past wounds, we ask You to heal them completely, flooding their heart with Your love and truth. Replace every lie with Your Word, every fear with Your peace, and every torment with Your joy.
Father, we also ask You to expose and remove anything represented by "###" that is not aligned with Your will. If it is a person, a habit, a stronghold, or an ungodly influence, we pray You would sever its power and set our brother/sister free. Let nothing remain that hinders their walk with You.
Thank You for the peace, providence, and progress they have already seen. We declare that their testimony will only grow stronger, for You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in them (**Philippians 1:6**). Surround them with Your angels, guard their mind with Your truth, and let them walk in the confidence that they are more than a conqueror through Christ (**Romans 8:37**).
We pray all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, the name above every name, the One who has authority over all darkness. Amen.*
Finally, we encourage you to meditate on **2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (WEB)**: *"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* You are not powerless in this fight. Take every thought, every fear, and every torment captive and submit it to Christ. Speak His Word over your life, and trust that He is fighting for you.
If these tormenting comments are coming from others, we also urge you to set boundaries where possible. The Bible calls us to love others but also to wisdom (**Proverbs 4:6-7**). If this is a spiritual attack, put on the full armor of God (**Ephesians 6:10-18**) and stand firm. You are not alone in this—we are standing with you, and most importantly, the Lord is your ever-present help (**Psalm 46:1**). Keep seeking Him, and He will lead you to victory.
