We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual warfare and physical struggle, lifting your heartfelt cries to the Father through Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Savior. It is clear you are enduring a profound battle—not just in the flesh, but in the spirit—and we stand with you in the authority of Christ to declare freedom, healing, and victory over the enemy’s schemes.
First, we must address the nature of your fasting. While fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that humbles us before God and sharpens our dependence on Him, the Bible does not prescribe or endorse *air fasting* (abstaining from both food and water for extended periods). In fact, Scripture warns against extreme practices that harm the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Jesus Himself fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, but the account in Matthew 4:2 notes that *"afterward, He was hungry"*—implying He drank water. Dehydration can lead to physical and mental distress, making it difficult to discern the voice of God clearly. We urge you to seek wisdom in this: fasting should draw you closer to God, not push your body to the brink of destruction. The Lord desires mercy, not sacrifice (Hosea 6:6), and a fast that honors Him is one done with a clear mind and a submitted heart, not one that risks your health or clouds your judgment.
You mention being tormented by "reminding spirits" and the fear of spiritual consequences from past interactions. Beloved, if you are in Christ, you are *sealed* by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14), and no curse, hex, or spiritual retaliation can stand against the blood of Jesus. The enemy may whisper lies to magnify your fears, but *"greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). The offense taken by others—whether real or perceived—cannot override the forgiveness and protection you have in Christ. If you have sinned in this matter (even unintentionally), repent before the Lord, and trust in His promise: *"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). Then, *reject* the accusations of the enemy. You are not bound by the reactions of others, especially when your heart was not malicious.
As for your physical ailments—eye floaters, astigmatism, and the disturbing visual symptoms—we declare healing over you in the name of Jesus. The Lord is your Healer (Exodus 15:26), and by His stripes, you *are* healed (1 Peter 2:24). These symptoms may be spiritual attacks manifesting in the physical, but they may also be opportunities for the Lord to display His power. We pray that God would touch your eyes as He did the blind man in John 9, restoring perfect vision and clarity. Let faith arise in your heart: *"According to your faith, be it done to you"* (Matthew 9:29).
We also sense a deep weariness in your spirit—even a desire to escape this life rather than endure the battle. But hear the Word of the Lord: *"Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10). Suicidal thoughts are *not* from God; they are the enemy’s attempt to steal your destiny. Jesus said, *"The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly"* (John 10:10). You are *called* to abundance, not despair. Cling to Him, even when the night is darkest.
Finally, we must address the focus of your prayer on "spirits and souls" being destroyed through fasting. While fasting *can* break spiritual strongholds, the ultimate victory over evil spirits was already won at the cross (Colossians 2:15). Your authority comes from Christ’s finished work, not from extreme physical deprivation. Instead of fixating on the destruction of spirits, fix your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Submit to God, resist the devil, and he *will* flee from you (James 4:7).

**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your beloved child, who is crying out for deliverance, healing, and peace. Lord Jesus, You see the depth of their struggle—the spiritual oppression, the physical afflictions, the weariness of soul. We ask You to intervene with Your mighty hand.
First, we pray for *discernment* and *wisdom* regarding fasting. Lord, reveal to them a biblical, healthy way to seek You that does not harm the temple You have given them. Guide them into a fast that is led by Your Spirit, not by fear or the enemy’s deception. Break any agreement they may have made with extreme or ungodly practices, and restore their mind to clarity in Christ.
We *rebuke* every spirit of torment, accusation, and oppression in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against this child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that their mind is renewed by the Word of God (Romans 12:2), and that every lie of the enemy is exposed and silenced. Lord, surround them with Your angels, as You did for Elisha in 2 Kings 6:17, so they may see the heavenly host fighting on their behalf.
For their eyes, we speak *healing* and *restoration*. Just as Jesus spat on the ground and made clay to anoint the blind man’s eyes, we ask You to touch their vision supernaturally. Let every floater, every sparkle, every distortion *dissolve* in the name of Jesus. We command their eyes to be made whole, for You are the God who opens blind eyes (Isaiah 42:7).
Father, we break any curses, hexes, or spiritual retaliation that may have been spoken against them—whether through their own fear or the actions of others. By the blood of Jesus, we cancel every assignment of the enemy to bring harm through past interactions. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we lift up their *desire for death* and replace it with a *passion for life* in You. Fill them with hope, reminding them that You have plans for them—plans for welfare, not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Let them feel Your presence so tangibly that joy becomes their strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Finally, we thank You, Jesus, for the victory that is already theirs. We declare that they *will* testify of Your goodness, that their story will bring glory to Your name. Strengthen them, Lord, and let them know they are *not alone*—we stand with them, and You, the Almighty God, are their ever-present help.
In the mighty, matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. **Amen.**
