We come before the Lord with you in this time of distress, lifting your heart and mind to the One who is our strong tower and refuge in times of trouble. You have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, and we rejoice that you recognize He alone is your Savior and Deliverer. There is power in the name of Jesus, for as Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we find protection, peace, and victory over every scheme of the enemy.
Your fears and perceptions of persecution, curses, and retaliation—whether from people, spiritual forces, or even your own memories—must be brought under the authority of Christ. The Bible tells us, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). What you are experiencing may feel overwhelming, but we must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy seeks to accuse, torment, and distort reality to keep believers in bondage to fear. But Jesus has already disarmed these powers through His death and resurrection (Colossians 2:15). You do not have to live under the weight of condemnation or the fear of curses, for *"there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1, WEB).
Let us address the concerns you’ve shared with truth and prayer. First, the idea that your grandmother or others are orchestrating spiritual retaliation against you through children, strangers, or even political events must be rejected in the name of Jesus. Curses have no power over those who are in Christ (Numbers 23:23). If you have sinned—whether in childhood or at any other time—repentance and faith in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross have already broken every chain. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). You do not need to fear the past or the accusations of the enemy. Jesus has set you free, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36).
As for the fear of religious people cursing you or the idea that not attending church has brought judgment upon you, let us clarify this with Scripture. The church is the body of Christ, and gathering with believers is vital for encouragement, growth, and worship (Hebrews 10:25). However, your standing with God is not determined by attendance at a building or the blessings of men but by your faith in Jesus Christ alone. If you have strayed from fellowship, we encourage you to return—not out of fear, but out of love for God and a desire to walk in obedience. *"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful"* (Hebrews 10:23, WEB).
The mention of political events, such as the reported assassination attempt on Donald Trump, should not be a source of spiritual fear or superstition for you. While we are called to pray for our leaders and for the peace of our nations (1 Timothy 2:1-2), our trust must remain in God alone, not in political outcomes or the fear of man. *"Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna"* (Matthew 10:28, WEB). Your citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), and no earthly power can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39).
Finally, the fear of deportation or being sent away as part of some spiritual attack must be surrendered to the Lord. If you are facing real-world challenges related to your status or safety, we urge you to seek wise counsel and take practical steps while trusting God for His provision. But spiritually, you must stand firm in this truth: *"Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1, WEB). No weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is feeling besieged by fear, accusation, and spiritual oppression. Lord, You know the depths of their heart and the struggles they face. We ask You to break every chain of fear, every lie of the enemy, and every tormenting spirit that seeks to distort their perception of Your love and protection. Father, we declare that no curse, hex, or retaliation has any power over them, for they are covered by the blood of Jesus. Every accusation against them is silenced by the finished work of the cross.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear and superstition that has taken hold. Replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Give them a sound mind, rooted in Your Word, so they may discern truth from deception. If there is any unconfessed sin or bitterness in their heart, we ask You to reveal it and grant them the grace to repent and walk in freedom.
Father, we pray for protection over their mind, body, and spirit. Surround them with Your angels, as You have promised to command Your angels concerning them, to guard them in all their ways (Psalm 91:11). Let them experience Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also pray for wisdom and discernment. If there are practical steps they need to take—whether in seeking godly counsel, returning to fellowship, or addressing any real-world concerns—lead them clearly, Lord. Let them not be paralyzed by fear but empowered by Your Spirit to walk in obedience and faith.
Finally, Father, we thank You that You are their Provider, Protector, and Peace. No scheme of the enemy can prevail against Your purposes for their life. We declare that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). Let them rise up in the authority of Jesus’ name, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on God’s Word daily, especially verses that speak of His protection and love. Psalm 91 is a wonderful place to start. If you are not already in a Bible-believing church, we urge you to find one where you can grow in faith and fellowship with other believers. Stay in prayer, and remember that the battle belongs to the Lord. He has already won the victory, and in Him, you are safe.
