We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your concerns about today’s doctor’s appointment, the spiritual disturbances you’ve encountered, and the struggles you’re facing with medication, focus, and trauma. It is good that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find help in our time of need. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Let us hold fast to this truth as we seek His will together.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare you’ve described. The presence of satanic symbols, the ouija board letters, and the unsettling changes in behavior afterward are not coincidences. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10, WEB), and he often uses fear, deception, and even physical or emotional disturbances to weaken our faith. However, *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). You have authority in the name of Jesus to rebuke these influences. We encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God (Ephesians 6:10-18, WEB). The enemy flees when we resist him in faith (James 4:7, WEB). If your faith has been inactive or if Bible reading has been neglected, now is the time to renew your mind in Scripture. *"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"* (Romans 10:17, WEB). Without the Word, we are vulnerable to the enemy’s lies.
We also notice your request for Adderall, and we must speak truth in love here. While medication can be a helpful tool under proper medical guidance, we must be cautious about relying on it as a "free stimulant" or placing our hope in it rather than in God. The desire for Adderall to help with exercise, study, and routine is understandable, but let us remember that our strength comes from the Lord. *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13, WEB). If the doctor determines this medication is necessary for your health, we pray for wisdom and discernment in its use. However, we must also caution against seeking it for non-medical reasons, as misusing prescription drugs can lead to dependence and further spiritual or physical harm. Trust that God will provide what you *need*, not just what you *want*. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB)—but let us ensure our desires align with His will.
Regarding your trauma and PTSD, we commend you for incorporating coping skills like breathing exercises, fasting, and abstinence. These can be beneficial when grounded in biblical principles. Fasting, for example, is a powerful spiritual discipline when done with prayer and a focus on God (Matthew 6:16-18, WEB). However, be mindful that abstinence and discipline should not become a source of legalism or self-reliance. Our healing comes from Christ alone. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28, WEB). If trauma from past medication experiences is affecting you, bring this honestly before the doctor and before the Lord. Do not fear sharing your struggles—*"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for your appointment, your spiritual protection, and your heart’s desires:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who seeks Your help today. Lord, we ask for Your peace to guard his heart and mind as he prepares for this virtual doctor’s appointment. Give him clarity of speech, wisdom in his words, and the ability to communicate his needs and progress effectively. May the doctor be guided by Your wisdom to make decisions that align with Your will for his health. We rebuke any spiritual interference or confusion from the enemy. Let no weapon formed against him prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB), and let every tongue that rises against him be condemned. Cover him with Your blood, Lord Jesus, and surround him with Your angels for protection.
Father, we pray for discernment regarding medication. If Adderall is necessary for his well-being, provide it through the doctor’s wisdom. But if it is not Your will, redirect his heart to trust in You for strength and focus. Help him to rely on You rather than substances, remembering that *"the joy of Yahweh is your strength"* (Nehemiah 8:10, WEB). Heal his mind and body from the effects of trauma, and let him walk in the freedom You have purchased for him on the cross.
We also lift up his mother. Soften her heart to seek You, Lord, and protect her from any spiritual attacks or fears that may be influencing her decisions. Draw her closer to You, and let her see Your hand at work in her child’s life.
Finally, Father, we ask for Your provision in every area of his life—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. You know his needs before he asks (Matthew 6:8, WEB), and we trust You to supply them according to Your riches in glory. Let him walk in obedience, faith, and victory, knowing that You are his Provider, Healer, and Deliverer.
We declare all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Let Your will be done, and let Your kingdom come in his life. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily. Read His Word, pray without ceasing, and surround yourself with believers who can support and pray for you. If you have not already, we urge you to confess any sin in your life and surrender fully to Jesus. *"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). Walk in repentance and faith, and trust that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28, WEB).
Stay vigilant in prayer, and do not give the enemy a foothold. *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith"* (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB). You are not alone in this battle—we stand with you, and most importantly, Christ stands with you. *"I am with you always, even to the end of the age"* (Matthew 28:20, WEB).
