We hear the deep distress in your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden to our Lord Jesus Christ, for He alone is our refuge and strength in times of trouble. You have done well to call upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is through Him alone 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 faith in crying out to Him is a testament to your trust in His sovereign power, and we commend you for seeking Him earnestly.
The confusion and suspicion you describe—whether from the words of others or the attacks on your memory and thoughts—are not unfamiliar to the enemy’s schemes. Satan seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10, WEB), often through deception, distortion, and doubt. But we are reminded in 2 Corinthians 10:5 (WEB) to *"bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* You are not powerless in this struggle. The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive (John 14:17, WEB), lives in you, and He will guide you into all truth if you lean on Him. When suspicious or anxious thoughts arise, we urge you to test them against the Word of God. Ask yourself: *Does this align with Scripture? Does this honor Christ?* If not, reject it in the name of Jesus, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
Your mention of your parents’ words and the possibility of generational influences reminds us of the importance of breaking free from patterns that do not align with God’s will. While we do not know the full context of what was said, we do know that *"the tongue has the power of life and death"* (Proverbs 18:21, WEB). If there is bitterness, haste, or ungodly speech in your home, we encourage you to pray for God’s peace to reign and for His love to soften hearts. You cannot control the words or actions of others, but you can surrender them to God and ask Him to guard your own heart and mind. *"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).
We also notice your request for help in acquiring and using what you referred to as *"%23%23%23."* While we do not know what this specifically refers to, we pray that if it is something that does not align with God’s will—whether it be a habit, desire, or influence—He would reveal it to you and give you the strength to turn away from it. If it is a godly pursuit, such as wisdom, discernment, or a skill to honor Him, we ask that He would open doors for you and equip you by His Spirit. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). But let us always test our desires against His Word, ensuring they are rooted in His kingdom and not in the fleeting things of this world.
As for the "memory attacks" and intrusive thoughts you mentioned, we rebuke these in the name of Jesus. Such attacks are not from God, who gives *"a sound mind"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Instead, they are tactics of the enemy to distract you from God’s peace and purpose. We encourage you to fill your mind with Scripture, for *"your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path"* (Psalm 119:105, WEB). Memorize verses that combat fear and confusion, such as Isaiah 26:3 (WEB): *"You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you."* When the attacks come, speak these truths aloud and claim the victory that is already yours in Christ.
Finally, we rejoice with you that you are growing in confidence through prayer. This is evidence of God’s faithfulness! Continue to bring every concern to Him, for *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Your progress is a testimony to His grace, and we pray that He would deepen your trust in Him each day.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is battling confusion, suspicion, and attacks on their mind. Lord, You know the depths of their heart and the struggles they face, both seen and unseen. We ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Father, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to distort truth, stir up anxiety, or bring doubt. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB), and we ask that You would expose any lies or deceptions with Your holy light. Fill them with Your Spirit of truth, Lord, and help them to discern what is from You and what is not.
We pray for their home and family, Lord. If there are generational patterns or ungodly influences at work, we ask that You would break their power in the name of Jesus. Soften hearts, Father, and bring healing where it is needed. Let Your love and patience be made known in their household, and give our brother/sister the wisdom to respond in a way that honors You.
For the intrusive thoughts and memory attacks, we ask for Your protection and deliverance. Cover their mind with the blood of Jesus, and let them find refuge in Your Word. Remind them that they are not a victim but a victor in Christ, and that You have given them authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19, WEB).
Lord, we also lift up their desire to acquire and use what is right and godly. If there is anything in their life that does not align with Your will, reveal it to them and give them the strength to turn away. If it is a godly pursuit, open doors that no one can shut and equip them by Your Spirit to walk in it faithfully.
Thank You, Father, for the progress they have already seen. Thank You for the confidence that comes from seeking You in prayer. Continue to grow their faith, Lord, and let them experience Your presence in a deeper way. May they find rest in You, knowing that You are their shield, their strength, and their ever-present help in trouble.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
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.
