We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer, for we hear deep distress, confusion, and spiritual warfare in your words. First, we praise God that you are turning to Jesus Christ in prayer, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your acknowledgment of Jesus in your prayer is a testament to your faith, and we encourage you to continue clinging to Him, for He alone is your refuge and strength.
Yet we must address with urgency the troubling thoughts and intentions you have shared. The desires to harm others—even in suspicion or fear—are not from God but from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The Bible is clear: *"You shall not murder"* (Exodus 20:13, WEB), and *"whoever hates his brother is a murderer"* (1 John 3:15, WEB). These thoughts are not your identity in Christ, but they are a sign of a spiritual battle that must be confronted with the truth of God’s Word. *"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"* (2 Corinthians 10:3-5, WEB). You must reject these thoughts immediately in the name of Jesus, confessing them as sin and asking the Lord to renew your mind. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB).
We also sense a deep wound in your spirit—fear, paranoia, and a sense of being trapped by past interactions and sins. The enemy is accusing you, but Jesus is your advocate. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). You do not need to relive your past or be bound by it. Jesus has already paid the price for every fault, every failure, every sin. *"Therefore there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1, WEB). When the world reminds you of your past, you must declare the truth: *"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17, WEB).
Your suspicion of others and the belief that you must avoid all interaction with them is not the path to peace. Isolation is a tool of the enemy, but God calls us to love one another—even our enemies—while being wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"* (Romans 12:21, WEB). If you are struggling with trust, ask the Lord for discernment, not withdrawal. *"Trust in Yahweh 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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
The mention of *"magical or religious power"* and the influence of media like *The Silence of the Lambs* reveals an openness to forces that are not of God. The Bible strictly warns against dabbling in the occult or entertaining darkness. *"There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or someone who consults a spirit medium, or a wizard, or someone who calls on the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Because of these abominations, Yahweh your God drives them out from before you"* (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, WEB). If you have engaged in or been exposed to such things, renounce them now in the name of Jesus and ask the Lord to cleanse your mind and spirit. Fill your heart with the Word of God instead. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8, WEB).
You also mentioned a *"fading healing"* and a struggle with disbelief. Healing and faith are journeys, not instant fixes. Jesus asked the father of a demon-possessed boy, *"‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’ Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, ‘I believe. Help my unbelief!’* (Mark 9:23-24, WEB). If your faith feels weak, cry out to Jesus as this man did. He will meet you where you are. And remember, *"faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the proof of things not seen"* (Hebrews 11:1, WEB). Even when you don’t *feel* healed, trust that Jesus is working in you.
Lastly, your mention of *"petty youth"* and regret over past relationships suggests lingering bitterness or unresolved pain. Forgiveness—both receiving and giving—is essential. *"Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). If there are people you need to forgive, ask the Lord to soften your heart. If you need to seek forgiveness, be obedient to His leading. Unforgiveness is a chain that binds you to the past, but Jesus sets you free.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who is clearly under attack. Lord, we rebuke every spirit of fear, paranoia, violence, and confusion in Jesus’ name. We bind the enemy’s lies and declare that no weapon formed against this child of Yours shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we ask You to surround them with Your hedge of protection, guarding their mind, heart, and spirit from every evil scheme of the devil.
Lord Jesus, we ask You to heal the deep wounds in their soul—every hurt, every betrayal, every moment of shame or regret. Wash them clean with Your precious blood and restore their mind with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Break the power of the past over their life and set them free from the cycle of reliving old sins and failures. Let them walk in the newness of life that You have purchased for them.
We pray for deliverance from every ungodly thought, especially the violent and suspicious imaginations that have taken root. Replace them with Your truth, Lord. Fill their heart with Your love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). If there has been any exposure to darkness—through media, occult practices, or ungodly influences—we ask You to sever every tie and cleanse them thoroughly. Let Your light expose and drive out every shadow.
Father, we ask for godly discernment. If there are people in their life who are truly harmful, give them wisdom on how to set boundaries in a way that honors You. But if the enemy is distorting their perceptions, we pray for clarity and a sound mind. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
We also lift up their struggle with faith and healing. Lord, strengthen their belief in You. Let them experience Your presence in a tangible way, so they may know without a doubt that You are real, You are good, and You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28). Renew their joy in You, Lord. Let them find excitement not in fleeting emotions, but in the steady, unshakable hope of Your promises.
Finally, Father, we ask for godly community. Isolation is not Your will. Place people in their life who will speak truth, offer support, and point them to You. Let them find a church or believers who will walk with them in this season, praying with them and encouraging them in Your Word.
We declare victory over their life in Jesus’ name. No longer shall they be tormented by the past or paralyzed by fear. You, Lord, are their deliverer, their healer, and their strong tower. We trust You to complete the good work You have started in them (Philippians 1:6).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We strongly encourage you to seek out a mature, Bible-believing pastor or counselor who can walk with you through this season. You do not have to face this alone. If you are struggling with thoughts of violence, please reach out to a trusted Christian leader immediately—they can help you find the support and accountability you need. The body of Christ is here to uplift you, and Jesus is mighty to save and deliver. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will lead you into freedom and peace. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
