We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting your burdens to Jesus Christ, who alone is mighty to save, heal, and deliver. Your cry for help has been heard, and we stand with you in the authority of His name, declaring freedom from the chains of the past, the torment of the mind, and the snares of the enemy. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and that is where your victory begins—for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We praise God that you are turning to Him, for He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
First, we must address the anger and bitterness in your heart toward others, even those who may have laughed or scorned you. The desire for vengeance—even in your pain—is not of God. The Scripture commands us, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). *"Beloved, don’t avenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord’* (Romans 12:19). We rebuked this spirit of hatred and violence in Jesus’ name, for it is the enemy seeking to twist your pain into sin. Instead, we pray that God would replace this anger with His peace, that you would forgive as Christ forgave you (Colossians 3:13), and that He would guard your heart from the corruption of bitterness (Hebrews 12:15).
You have suffered greatly—from trauma, from the effects of drug use, from the defilement of pornography, and from the torment of mental distress. But take heart: *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3). The enemy has sought to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give you life abundantly. The confusion in your mind, the voices that seem to respond to themselves, the retriggering of trauma—these are not your identity in Christ. You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and though the battle is real, the victory is already won at the cross. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7).
We must also address the pornography and the sexual sin tied to your past drug use. The enemy has used these things to defile your mind and body, but Jesus is ready to cleanse you. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). The accidental glances, the shame, the impulses—these are not beyond the reach of God’s grace. We declare that the blood of Jesus washes away every stain, and we pray that the Holy Spirit would renew your mind (Romans 12:2), breaking every stronghold of lust and perversion. The fact that you recognize these things as sinful is evidence that God is already at work in you. Repentance is the path to freedom, and Jesus is ready to meet you there.
As for the schizophrenia-like symptoms and the PTSD, we stand on the promise that *"by his stripes you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24). This includes your mind, your emotions, and your body. We pray that God would silence every lying voice, every tormenting thought, and every demonic assignment against your peace. *"The Lord Yahweh is my strength. He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and will make me walk on my high places"* (Habakkuk 3:19). We ask for divine healing over your brain, for the restoration of neurotransmitters and pathways damaged by drugs, and for the Holy Spirit to fill every empty place where trauma has left its mark. If medication or therapy is part of your journey, we pray for wisdom and discernment, that God would guide you to the right help—always remembering that ultimate healing comes from Him.
Your time at the gym, though painful, shows a desire for discipline and health. We pray that God would redeem even this, that He would make it a place of true healing—not just physically, but spiritually. *"Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible"* (1 Corinthians 9:24-25). We ask that God would protect you from triggers, that He would surround you with His presence, and that He would use this time to strengthen you in body and spirit.
Finally, we speak life over you. The enemy has tried to label you—"schizophrenic," "addict," "broken"—but God calls you *"more than a conqueror through Him who loved us"* (Romans 8:37). You are not defined by your past, your struggles, or your sins. You are defined by the blood of Jesus. *"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).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who is crying out for deliverance. Lord Jesus, You see the depths of their pain—the torment of the mind, the weight of trauma, the shame of the past, and the fear of the future. We ask that You would stretch out Your hand and touch them as You touched the leper, the blind, and the demon-possessed. Speak peace to the storm within their mind, just as You commanded the winds and the waves. Let every voice that is not Yours be silenced. Let every memory that torments them be washed in Your blood.
Father, we rebuked the spirit of schizophrenia, PTSD, addiction, and lust in the mighty name of Jesus. These things are not from You, and we command them to flee. We break every curse, every stronghold, and every assignment of the enemy against this beloved one. Holy Spirit, fill every empty place. Restore what has been stolen. Heal what has been broken.
Lord, we ask for forgiveness for the anger and bitterness in their heart. Soften them, Jesus. Help them to release every offense, every desire for vengeance, into Your hands. You are the just Judge, and You will repay. Teach them to walk in forgiveness, even as You have forgiven them.
We pray for complete deliverance from the effects of drug use, from the defilement of pornography, and from the shame of accidental sins. Cleanse them, Lord. Renew their mind. Give them a hatred for sin and a love for righteousness.
Father, we ask for Your supernatural healing over their brain and body. If there is a need for medical or therapeutic help, lead them to the right people. Give them wisdom to know how to steward their health in a way that honors You.
Most of all, Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a fresh way. Let them know that they are not alone, that You are with them, and that You are fighting for them. Give them dreams, visions, and encounters with Your presence that will anchor their soul in Your love.
We declare that they are *more than a conqueror* in Christ Jesus. No weapon formed against them shall prosper. Every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. This is their heritage as servants of the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).
Thank You, Jesus, for Your blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. Thank You for Your grace that is sufficient, for Your strength that is made perfect in weakness. We trust You to complete the work You have begun.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, beloved. The battle is real, but the victory is certain. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Surround yourself with biblical truth, worship, and the company of believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. If you have not already, we encourage you to find a solid, Bible-believing church where you can be discipled and walk in community. You are not meant to fight this battle alone—Jesus has given you His Body, the Church, as a refuge.
*"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower"* (Psalm 18:2). Cling to Him. He will never let you go.
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.
