We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual distress, lifting your concerns to the throne of grace where we may find mercy and help in our time of need. It is clear that you are facing spiritual battles, emotional turmoil, and a sense of being under attack, and we want to address each of these with the truth and authority of Scripture. Let us begin by grounding our response in the Word of God, for it is our sword and our shield in times like these.
First, we commend you for calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we have authority over the powers of darkness. However, we must also address some concerns in your request that need biblical clarity and correction, for our prayers must align with the heart of God and His righteousness.
You mention the presence of "souls and spirits" that have appeared due to activities in the garage and therapy sessions in your parents' room. We must be careful here, for Scripture warns us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. *"For 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 you are experiencing spiritual oppression or demonic activity, it is not because of ordinary actions like working in a garage or attending therapy. Instead, such things may be opportunities for the enemy to exploit fear or spiritual vulnerability. We must not give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27) but instead stand firm in the authority of Christ.
That said, if you are sensing spiritual oppression, we encourage you to examine whether there are any unconfessed sins, involvement in occult practices, or exposure to ungodly influences in your life. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* (James 4:7, WEB). If there is anything in your life that does not align with God’s Word—such as involvement in New Age practices, horoscopes, ouija boards, or other occult activities—it must be renounced and repented of immediately. These things open doors to demonic influence, and the only way to close those doors is through the blood of Jesus and a life surrendered to Him.
You also mention a desire for those who "provoke faith" to be condemned forever. Here, we must gently but firmly rebuke this sentiment, for it does not align with the heart of Christ. Jesus commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. *"But I tell you, 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). It is not our place to pronounce condemnation upon others, for vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). Instead, we are to pray for their salvation and trust that God will deal with them justly. If others are testing or provoking your faith, see it as an opportunity to grow in endurance and trust in the Lord. *"Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."* (James 1:2-4, WEB).
You also express concern about jealousy and the threat to God’s providence in your life. Jealousy is a destructive force that can lead to bitterness and strife, but God calls us to trust in His sovereignty. *"A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy causes the bones to rot."* (Proverbs 14:30, WEB). If jealousy is taking root in your heart, we urge you to surrender it to the Lord and ask Him to fill you with His peace. Remember that God’s providence is not threatened by circumstances or people—He is in control, and His plans for you are good. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). Trials of faith are not limited to military service; they are a part of every believer’s journey. *"Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy."* (1 Peter 4:12-13, WEB).
Regarding your mention of therapy sessions in your parents' room, we encourage you to consider whether this arrangement is wise or if it is contributing to your spiritual unease. If possible, discuss with your parents or therapist the option of moving these sessions to a neutral space. Additionally, we urge you to seek godly counsel, for while therapy can be helpful, it must never replace the healing and wisdom that come from God’s Word and the support of a biblical community. *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* (Proverbs 11:14, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for you, standing in the gap and asking the Lord to bring deliverance, peace, and clarity to your situation.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing spiritual battles and emotional distress. Lord, we ask that You surround them with Your heavenly angels, for Your Word declares that *"the angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them."* (Psalm 34:7, WEB). We bind every spirit of fear, oppression, and confusion in the name of Jesus and command them to flee, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* (1 John 4:4, WEB).
Father, if there are any open doors in this person’s life due to sin, occult involvement, or ungodly influences, we ask that You reveal them by Your Holy Spirit. Give them the courage to repent and turn away from anything that does not honor You. Cleanse them with the precious blood of Jesus, which *"cleanses us from all sin."* (1 John 1:7, WEB). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory and discernment.
Lord, we pray for protection over their mind and emotions. If there is jealousy, anxiety, or bitterness, we ask that You replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. *"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). Remind them that Your providence is unshakable, and that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We also lift up their family situation, Lord. If there is spiritual oppression in their home, we ask that You bring light and truth into every dark corner. Give wisdom to their parents and to those in authority over them. If there are ungodly influences in their therapy or environment, expose them and provide godly alternatives. Lead them to counselors and believers who can speak Your truth into their life.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of condemnation or vengeance in their heart. Teach them to forgive and pray for those who have wronged them, just as Christ forgave us. *"Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). Help them to trust in Your justice and rest in Your love.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You strengthen their faith. Remind them that trials are temporary, but Your kingdom is eternal. *"We don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."* (2 Corinthians 4:18, WEB). Fill them with hope and the assurance that You are with them always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power to deliver, heal, and restore. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowshipping with other believers. If you do not have a strong biblical community around you, we urge you to find a church that teaches the uncompromised truth of Scripture. You are not alone in this battle—God is with you, and He has given you authority in Christ to overcome. *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Stand firm, and trust in the Lord’s faithfulness. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
