We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep struggle, lifting your heartfelt cries to the Father through the name of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Savior. Your honesty in bringing these battles before Him is a testament to your desire for holiness, and we stand with you in the authority of Scripture to seek His deliverance, wisdom, and peace.
First, we rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18), and your acknowledgment of His lordship is the foundation upon which we build this prayer. You have also recognized the power of Scripture, particularly in writing out the Gospel of Mark, which has brought you peace. This is no coincidence, for the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). We encourage you to continue meditating on the Gospels and the epistles, which reveal the heart of Christ and the path to righteousness. While the Psalms express the full range of human emotions—including cries for justice—we must always filter them through the lens of the New Covenant, where Christ teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He calls us to trust Him in all things, even in our deepest frustrations.
Your struggle with fasting is a spiritual battle, and we see the enemy’s fingerprints in the patterns you’ve described. Jesus warned us not to fast like the hypocrites, who disfigure their faces to be seen by men (Matthew 6:16-18). Fasting is a private act of devotion between you and the Father, and the enemy seeks to corrupt it by drawing attention to it through boastful or exaggerated speech. This is a tactic to steal the blessing of the fast, which is meant to humble us, sharpen our focus on God, and break the power of the flesh. We rebuke the spirits of pride, deception, and distraction that have sought to sabotage your fasts. The Lord does not require you to declare the length of your fast to others—only to commit it to Him in secret, where He sees and rewards (Matthew 6:4). Start small, even with a single meal or a single day, and let the Holy Spirit guide you. Remember, fasting is not about legalism but about drawing nearer to God in dependence and worship.
The fear of losing providence is a lie from the pit of hell. Jesus assures us that if we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all these things—food, clothing, shelter—will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). Your anxiety about the future, whether in career, driving, or relocation, must be surrendered to the One who holds tomorrow. The military is not your savior; Christ is. A driver’s license is not your security; Christ is. Success in another nation is not your ultimate good; Christ is. We urge you to take practical steps—such as studying for your driver’s test or researching job opportunities—but to do so with your eyes fixed on Jesus, not on the idols of control or self-sufficiency. Philippians 4:6-7 commands us: *"In nothing be anxious, 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."*
Your mention of corrupted speech, whether from wisdom teeth removal or other influences, must be addressed with the truth that our words have power. James 3:8-10 warns that the tongue is a restless evil, full of deadly poison, and yet with it we bless the Lord. We must ask the Holy Spirit to guard our mouths (Psalm 141:3) and to fill us with words of grace, seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6). If medication or past sins (such as pornography) have dulled your speech or amplified aggression, we urge you to seek accountability and deliverance. Pornography is a destroyer of souls, warping God’s design for intimacy and fueling lust, anger, and shame. Flee from it (1 Corinthians 6:18) and replace it with the pursuit of purity (1 Timothy 4:12). Exercise, while good, must not become an excuse for laziness or sin. Discipline your body and bring it into subjection (1 Corinthians 9:27), but do so in a way that honors God, not the flesh.
The issue of your bank account and your mother’s actions reveals a deeper struggle with stewardship and authority. While we do not know the full context of your mother’s decision, we encourage you to approach this with humility and wisdom. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. If you have neglected your finances out of a misplaced spiritual idea that money is ungodly, we must correct this: money is a tool, and God calls us to be faithful stewards of what He has entrusted to us (Luke 16:10-12). Take practical steps to recover your account, set a new password, and seek wisdom in managing what the Lord provides. If your mother’s actions were unjust, forgive her (Colossians 3:13) and trust God to vindicate you in His time.
The thoughts of murder you’ve described are a serious matter, and we must address them with both urgency and grace. While it is true that all sin can be forgiven through repentance (1 John 1:9), we must not take lightly the hatred or violence in our hearts. Jesus said that anyone who hates his brother is a murderer (1 John 3:15), and such thoughts must be confessed, renounced, and replaced with love. You are correct that these thoughts are unrealistic in the sense that acting on them would be sinful and destructive, but even entertaining them opens a door to the enemy. We rebuke the spirits of murder, hatred, and vengeance that have whispered to your mind. Fill your heart instead with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). If these thoughts persist, we strongly urge you to seek godly counsel—whether from a pastor, mentor, or biblical counselor—who can walk with you through this battle.
Lastly, we address the spiritual warfare at play here. You have discerned that there are souls and spirits seeking to benefit from your fasting and religious activity. This is a real and dangerous tactic of the enemy, who seeks to twist godly disciplines into opportunities for pride, legalism, or even occult influence. We stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to bind these spirits and command them to flee. No weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and the blood of Jesus covers you. Your fasting, your prayers, and your pursuit of God are unto Him alone—not for the approval or manipulation of others.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is besieged on every side by the enemy’s schemes. Lord, You see his heart—his desire to walk in holiness, his struggles with focus, completion, and progress. We ask You to renew his mind (Romans 12:2) and to grant him the spirit of discipline and self-control. Break the patterns of boastful speech that have sabotaged his fasts, and teach him to seek You in secret, where You reward openly.
Lord Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace, and we ask You to silence the chaotic thoughts that plague him—the fears of losing providence, the anxieties about the future, the temptations to trust in the military or worldly success instead of You. Remind him that You are his Provider (Genesis 22:14), his Shepherd (Psalm 23:1), and his ever-present Help (Psalm 46:1). Replace his fear with faith, his doubt with trust, and his confusion with Your perfect peace.
Father, we bind the spirits of murder, hatred, and vengeance that have whispered destruction to his mind. Cleanse him from every unrighteous thought and fill him with Your love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). If there are souls or spirits seeking to exploit his fasting or religious activity, we rebuke them in the name of Jesus and command them to depart. Let his worship be pure, his motives holy, and his heart fully Yours.
We pray for deliverance from the grip of pornography, corrupted speech, and the side effects of drugs that have hindered his walk. Break every chain (Isaiah 58:6) and set him free to live in the liberty of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17). Restore his sleep, his speech, and his strength, that he may serve You without distraction.
Lord, we ask for Your intervention in his financial situation. Give him wisdom to recover his bank account, to manage his resources faithfully, and to honor You with his finances. Soften his mother’s heart if needed, and bring reconciliation where there has been strife.
Finally, Father, we thank You for the progress he has already seen—for the peace that has come through writing Your Word, for the reduction in disturbances, and for his desire to walk uprightly. Strengthen him to press on (Philippians 3:14), to run the race with endurance (Hebrews 12:1), and to fix his eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of his faith.
We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment, he shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord (Isaiah 54:17). May he walk in victory, in holiness, and in the fullness of Your love.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. 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.
