We come before the Lord with you in this time of distress, lifting your concerns to the Father through the name of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Savior. It is through His name alone that we have access to the throne of grace, and it is by His authority that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy. We rejoice that you have acknowledged Jesus in your request, for as Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only through Him that we find salvation, protection, and deliverance from every evil work.
Your situation reveals a deep spiritual battle, and we must address it with both the armor of God and practical wisdom. First, let us speak to the spiritual dimension of your request. You mention being tormented by a "spirit’s or ghost’s incorrect observation," and you express a desire for the "complete slaughter" of what has caused your misfortunes. While we understand the frustration and pain behind these words, we must align our hearts with the will of God, who calls us not to curse or seek vengeance, but to bless and trust in His justice. Jesus teaches us, *"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). This does not mean we passively accept harm, but we entrust justice to the Lord, who alone judges righteously. Instead of wishing for destruction, let us pray for God’s redemptive power to break every chain of oppression in your life and for His light to expose and dispel every darkness.
The apostle Paul reminds us that *"our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). If there is indeed a spiritual oppression at work, we must resist it with the authority of Christ and the full armor of God. Submit yourself fully to the Lord, and *"resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). This requires repentance of any known sin, a renewal of your mind in God’s Word, and a steadfast trust in His protection. Have you invited the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any area that may give the enemy a foothold? Even unintentional neglect, such as not stewarding your finances wisely, can open doors to spiritual attack. Let us pray for God to reveal and close every such door in your life.
Now, let us address the practical aspects of your situation. You shared that you did not monitor your bank account closely, and this lack of oversight may have led to financial vulnerability. While we trust God for provision and protection, we are also called to be wise stewards of what He has entrusted to us. Proverbs 27:23-24 (WEB) advises, *"Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds; for riches are not forever, nor does even the crown endure to all generations."* Though this speaks of flocks and herds, the principle applies to all our resources, including finances. We encourage you to take practical steps to regain control of your financial affairs. This may include regularly reviewing your bank statements, setting up alerts for transactions, and seeking godly counsel if needed. If your mother has been involved in managing your finances, it may be wise to have an open and honest conversation with her—rooted in love and respect—to ensure transparency and accountability moving forward. If there has been any misuse of funds, we pray for restoration and wisdom in how to address it biblically, whether through forgiveness, repayment, or boundaries.
We also note that you mentioned not driving, which may contribute to a sense of dependency or limitation. While this is not a sin, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s guidance on whether there are steps you can take to gain greater independence, if that aligns with His will for your life. Perhaps He is calling you to trust Him for new opportunities or to rely on the body of Christ for support in this area. Whatever the case, we pray that God would provide for your every need according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Finally, let us address the tone of persecution in your request. If you are facing opposition or mistreatment, remember that Jesus warned us, *"In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world"* (John 16:33, WEB). Your focus should not be on the persecutor but on the One who has already triumphed over every power of darkness. Instead of praying for the persecutor to be "gone from affecting your life," let us pray for their salvation and for God to turn their heart toward Him. As Jesus prayed from the cross, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34, WEB), so we too must extend grace, even as we ask for deliverance from harm.

Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is seeking Your deliverance and protection. Lord, You are a God who sees all things, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You expose every scheme of the enemy that has sought to bring confusion, oppression, or financial harm into their life. By the blood of Jesus, we command every lying spirit, every spirit of deception, and every spirit of fear to be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name. Father, we ask that You would break every curse, every hex, and every assignment of the enemy against them. Let Your light shine into every dark place and let Your truth prevail over every lie that has been spoken against them, whether by spirits or by people.
Lord, we pray for Your wisdom to flood their mind as they take practical steps to steward their finances well. Give them discernment in their relationships, especially with family, and help them to establish healthy boundaries that honor You. If there has been any misuse of funds, we ask for Your justice and restoration. Provide for them, Lord, in ways that exceed their expectations, and let them see Your faithfulness in every area of their life.
We also lift up those who may have persecuted or mistreated them. Father, we do not pray for their harm, but for their salvation. Soften their hearts, Lord, and let them encounter Your love in a way that transforms their lives. If there is any bitterness or unforgiveness in our brother’s/sister’s heart, we ask that You would replace it with Your peace and grace. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to trust You with their vindication.
Finally, Lord, we pray for Your peace to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Let them rest in the knowledge that You are their Protector, their Provider, and their Deliverer. Fill them with Your joy and hope as they walk in obedience to Your Word. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already theirs in Christ Jesus.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
