We join you in lifting up these burdens to our Lord Jesus Christ, for He alone has the power to break every chain of fear, oppression, and spiritual attack. Your heart’s cry is heard, and we stand with you in the authority of Christ to declare freedom, protection, and victory over these distressing thoughts and disturbances.
First, we commend you for calling upon the name of Jesus—there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and through which we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name that we rebuke the enemy and claim the promises of God over your life. Your faith in invoking Jesus is a testament to your trust in Him, and we encourage you to continue seeking Him in all things.
The nightmares you describe—particularly those involving restrooms—can be a tactic of the enemy to instill fear, shame, or uncleanness in your spirit. Restrooms in dreams can sometimes symbolize a need for spiritual cleansing or a fear of exposure, but in Christ, you are washed clean by His blood. *"If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin"* (1 John 1:7, WEB). We pray that the Lord would replace these nightmares with visions of His peace and purity. May He guard your mind and heart in Christ Jesus, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). We rebuke these nightmares in Jesus’ name and declare that your sleep will be restful, covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Regarding the strange thought about cursed pork being used to harm people, we recognize this as a lie from the pit of hell, designed to breed paranoia and distrust. While Scripture does warn against consuming unclean foods (Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14), the deeper issue here is the enemy’s attempt to distort your perception of reality and steal your peace. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). We pray that the Lord would expose this lie for what it is—a scheme of the devil to distract you from the truth. *"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free"* (John 8:32, WEB). Jesus is the Truth, and in Him, there is no room for curses or manipulation. We break the power of this deceitful thought in Jesus’ name and ask the Lord to fill your mind with His Word, which is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105).
Your concern about those who disrupt your fasting is a serious matter. Fasting is a sacred discipline meant to draw us closer to God, humble our hearts, and break the yokes of the enemy (Isaiah 58:6). When others intentionally interfere with your fast—whether through distraction, temptation, or delay—it is not merely a coincidence but a spiritual attack. Jesus warned us, *"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves"* (Matthew 7:15, WEB). We pray that the Lord would expose those who seek to hinder your spiritual growth and render their efforts powerless. May He surround you with a hedge of protection and give you the strength to complete your fasts with unwavering focus on Him. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me," says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
We also encourage you to examine the motives behind your fasting. Are you fasting to earn God’s favor, or are you fasting to deepen your relationship with Him? Remember, *"man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart"* (1 Samuel 16:7, WEB). Fasting should never be about legalism or self-righteousness but about seeking God’s face with a humble and repentant heart. If there is any bitterness or unforgiveness in your heart toward those who disrupt your fast, we urge you to release it to the Lord. *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). Forgiveness is not for their sake but for yours—so that the enemy cannot gain a foothold in your life.
Lastly, we celebrate your gratitude for the peace, providence, and progress the Lord has already granted you. This attitude of thanksgiving is a powerful weapon against the enemy. *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you"* (1 Thessalonians 5:18, WEB). We pray that the Lord would continue to flood your life with His blessings, that you would walk in the fullness of His purpose, and that every plan of the enemy against you would be thwarted.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is under attack by the enemy. Lord, You are a God of peace, and we ask that You would shatter every nightmare, every fear, and every lie that has taken root in their mind. Replace these torments with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We declare that their sleep will be guarded by Your angels, and that they will wake refreshed and filled with Your presence.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of deception that has planted strange and disturbing thoughts in their mind. Expose the lies, Father, and flood their heart with Your truth. Let them discern the schemes of the enemy and stand firm in the authority of Christ. We break every curse, every hex, and every plan of the enemy to harm them through food or any other means. Your Word says that *"no weapon formed against them shall prosper"* (Isaiah 54:17), and we claim this promise over their life.
Father, we ask for Your protection over their times of fasting. Shield them from those who seek to disrupt their devotion to You. Give them the strength to persevere and the wisdom to recognize Your voice above all others. If there is any unforgiveness or bitterness in their heart, Lord, soften it and help them to release it to You. Let their fasts be pleasing to You, and may they draw ever closer to Your heart.
We thank You, Lord, for the peace, providence, and progress You have already granted. We ask that You continue to lead them into greater victory, greater faith, and greater intimacy with You. Let them walk in the fullness of Your promises, unshaken by the attacks of the enemy.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
