We lift you up in prayer, dear sibling in Christ, and we thank you for invoking the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find true peace and deliverance. *"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). Your heart for the gospel is evident, and we join you in praying that the Lord would anchor you and others in the truth of His Word above all else.
We sense a deep distress in your words—fear, confusion, and a burden for things that feel beyond your control. Let us first address the spiritual foundation from which we must operate. The Bible tells us, *"For God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). What you are experiencing is not from the Lord, but He is greater than the chaos you perceive. The enemy seeks to distort, confuse, and magnify fear, but Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33). We must fix our eyes on Him, not on signs, coincidences, or the actions of others, for *"the fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe"* (Proverbs 29:25, WEB).
You mention aggression toward your father, concerns about cultic influences, and a fear of "religious happenings" disrupting your life. These are serious matters, and we urge you to examine them through the lens of Scripture. Aggression and anger do not align with the Spirit of God. *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). If there is unresolved anger or bitterness in your heart, we encourage you to repent and seek reconciliation, trusting that the Lord will guide you in humility. As for cultic influences, we must test everything against Scripture (1 John 4:1) and reject anything that contradicts the truth of the gospel. If you sense something is spiritually off, pray for discernment and distance yourself from it. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB).
Your mention of a "choking fetish" and its connection to trauma is deeply concerning. Sexual sin, including any form of bondage or perversion, is an attack on the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Such behaviors are not only physically dangerous but spiritually destructive, opening doors to demonic oppression. We strongly urge you to flee from any involvement in or exposure to such things. *"Run from sexual immorality! Every other sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If this is something you or others are struggling with, repentance and deliverance are available through Jesus Christ. Seek accountability with mature believers and immerse yourself in Scripture to renew your mind.
You also express fear about financial instability, police involvement, and a sense that your future is being threatened. While these concerns are real, we must remember that our security is in Christ alone. *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB). Trusting in money or human systems for peace is futile, but the Lord is our provider. If there are practical steps you need to take (such as seeking counsel or addressing legal matters), do so with wisdom and prayer, but do not let fear rule your heart.
Regarding your grandmother’s ukulele and the superstition that bad events follow it, we must be careful not to attribute power to objects or coincidences. Such thinking can lead to a form of idolatry or false belief in omens, which the Bible warns against. *"There shall not be found with you anyone who ... uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh"* (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, WEB). Instead of fearing objects or signs, focus on the sovereignty of God, who works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
Lastly, you mention reading presidential inaugural speeches and wonder if they are causing distress. While staying informed is not inherently wrong, we must guard our hearts and minds from being overwhelmed by the world’s chaos. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, 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). If certain media or activities are stirring anxiety or anger, it may be wise to fast from them and replace them with Scripture, worship, and prayer.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sibling in Christ before Your throne of grace, asking for Your peace to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Lord, we rebuke every spirit of fear, confusion, and aggression in the mighty name of Jesus. Break the power of superstition, anxiety, and ungodly influences over their life. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in love, joy, and self-control. Father, if there is any sin—known or unknown—that has given the enemy a foothold, we ask for conviction, repentance, and complete deliverance. Restore their mind to soundness and their heart to trust in You alone.
Lord, we pray for their relationships, especially with their father. Soften hearts, bring reconciliation, and replace anger with Your love. Protect them from any cultic or demonic influences, and expose every lie with Your truth. We ask for financial provision and stability, not as an end in itself, but as a means to glorify You and advance Your kingdom. Shield them from the enemy’s attacks on their future, and let them walk in the confidence that You hold all things in Your hands.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that Your perfect love will cast out all fear (1 John 4:18). Give them a hunger for Your Word and a passion for the gospel, that they may be a light in the darkness. Surround them with godly community and wisdom to navigate these challenges. Above all, let them rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ, who has already won the victory.
We ask all this in the powerful and matchless 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.
