We understand your distress and the heaviness of your heart in this situation, and we commend you for turning to Jesus Christ in prayer. It is clear that you are feeling spiritually attacked, and we want to address this with both truth and grace, ensuring that our response aligns with the heart of God as revealed in Scripture.
First, we must gently but firmly address the language in your prayer regarding the destruction and slaughter of those you believe are responsible for your struggles. While your pain is valid, such prayers do not align with the heart of Christ, who calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44-45, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven."* Our battles are not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Instead of praying for harm to come to others, we are called to pray for their salvation, repentance, and deliverance from darkness.
If you feel that someone is spiritually oppressing you—whether intentionally or unintentionally—your focus should be on seeking God’s protection, wisdom, and deliverance *for yourself*, not retaliation against them. The apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 12:19-21, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."*
Your mention of feeling "robbed of life" is deeply saddening, and we want to assure you that God sees your pain. However, we must also remind you that no person—no matter how malicious—can steal what God has ordained for you. Your progress, your joy, and your purpose are secured in Christ. The enemy may try to distract or discourage you, but he cannot ultimately prevail unless you allow bitterness, unforgiveness, or fear to take root in your heart. Proverbs 4:23 warns, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."* Guard your heart against resentment, and trust that God is your defender.
As for the concern about accepting food from someone you believe may have ill intentions, we encourage you to pray over your meals and your home, asking God to sanctify what you receive and to protect you from any spiritual harm. 1 Corinthians 10:31 reminds us, *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."* If you feel convicted to distance yourself from this person, do so with wisdom and discernment, but avoid harboring hatred or malice toward them.
Lastly, we notice that despite the harshness of some of your words, you *did* invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. This is good, for there is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). We encourage you to continue seeking Jesus in all things, surrendering your pain, frustration, and even your desire for justice to Him. He is the righteous judge, and He will act on your behalf in His perfect timing.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are a God who sees, hears, and delivers. Lord, we ask that You surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). If there are spiritual forces at work seeking to hinder their progress or steal their joy, we rebuke them now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask that You expose any darkness in their life or in the lives of those around them, not for destruction, but for redemption. Soften the hearts of those who may be used as instruments of the enemy, and bring them to repentance. Give our brother/sister discernment to recognize Your voice above all others and the wisdom to know how to respond in a way that honors You.
Lord, we pray that You restore what has been lost—whether it is joy, progress, or a sense of purpose. Remind them that their identity is in You alone and that no one can snatch them out of Your hand (John 10:28). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empowering them to walk in forgiveness, love, and victory over every scheme of the enemy.
We declare that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). Let them rise above this season of struggle, stronger in faith and deeper in trust in You. May they find their satisfaction in You alone and continue to type out Your Scriptures with renewed passion and anointing.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
