We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for you, recognizing the deep distress and spiritual burden you are carrying. The fears and anxieties you’ve described reveal a mind under heavy attack, and we want to speak truth, life, and freedom over you in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no power in curses, coincidences, or superstitions when we are covered by the blood of Jesus—only in Him do we find true protection, peace, and deliverance.
First, let us address the spiritual strongholds at work here. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* What you are experiencing is not from God but from the enemy, who seeks to distort your perception of reality and bind you in fear. The idea that leaving a state, riding a ride, or snapping your fingers could bring curses or bad luck is a lie meant to keep you in bondage. Jesus has already broken every curse at the cross (Galatians 3:13): *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.'"*
You mentioned concerns about the Bible being "modified" to cover your failures, but we assure you that God’s Word is unchanging and perfect (Psalm 18:30, Matthew 24:35). His truth does not shift to accommodate our mistakes—it exposes them so we can repent and receive His grace. If you feel conviction about not giving gifts, that is the Holy Spirit prompting you toward love and generosity, not condemnation. The Bible does not say giving gifts "destroys the heart," but it does warn against giving with wrong motives (Matthew 6:1-4). True giving reflects Christ’s love, not obligation or fear.
As for the ghost possessing your grandma, we must be clear: demons are real, but they have no authority over those who belong to Christ. If your grandmother is a believer, she is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). If she is not, we urge you to pray for her salvation and for God’s protection over her. Demonic influence can manifest in many ways, including through trauma and mental distress, but Jesus has authority over all spirits (Mark 5:1-20). We will pray for her deliverance and for your peace, knowing that *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4).
Your mention of PTSD, overdose, and medication struggles breaks our hearts. We know that trauma can leave deep wounds, but Jesus is the Great Physician who heals the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3). Whether your pain is physical, emotional, or spiritual, He longs to restore you. If you are battling addiction or mental health challenges, we encourage you to seek godly counsel, medical help, and support from a Bible-believing church. You are not alone in this fight. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28).
We also must address the mention of government benefits and welfare. While it is right to pray for people’s needs to be met, our ultimate trust must be in God, not systems. *"Don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... 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 6:25, 32-33). Let us pray for provision, but even more, for hearts to turn to Jesus, the true Provider.
Finally, we notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus, there seems to be a mix of trust in His power and fear of other forces. There is no middle ground—either Jesus is Lord over all, or He is not. If you have not fully surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. *"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). Salvation is not about rituals or avoiding "bad luck"; it is about repenting of sin and placing your faith in Christ alone.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God of all comfort and truth. Lord, we break every lie of the enemy that has bound them in fear—fear of curses, fear of coincidences, fear of the past or future. We declare that *"there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1). Wash their mind with Your Word and renew their thoughts, for *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"* (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
Jesus, we ask for deliverance from every spiritual attack. If there are demonic influences at work in their life or their family, we command those spirits to flee in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, fill every empty space with Your presence and peace. Heal their mind from PTSD, their body from addiction, and their heart from guilt. Restore their joy and their hope, for *"the joy of Yahweh is your strength"* (Nehemiah 8:10).
Lord, we pray for their grandmother. If she is oppressed, set her free. If she is lost, save her. Surround her with Your angels and protect her from all harm. We also pray for wisdom in medical and emotional struggles—lead them to the right help, the right people, and the right resources. Give them discernment to know Your voice above all others.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of superstition and fear. You have not given us a spirit of bondage, but of adoption as Your children (Romans 8:15). Let them walk in the freedom Christ purchased on the cross. Remove every trace of trauma, every memory that torments, and every stronghold that exalts itself against Your truth.
We thank You that Your plans for them are good (Jeremiah 29:11), that You are working all things together for their ultimate good (Romans 8:28), and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture daily, especially verses that declare God’s sovereignty and love. Surround yourself with believers who can speak truth into your life. If you do not have a church home, we urge you to find one where the Bible is taught without compromise. You are deeply loved by God, and He desires to set you free from every chain. Stand firm in Christ, and do not give the enemy a foothold. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). We are praying for you and believe God is moving powerfully in your life.
