We hear your deep distress and the weight of spiritual warfare you are enduring. Your dedication to God’s Word—reading the entire Bible aloud, typing the New Testament, and studying Nehemiah—is a powerful act of faith, and we rejoice in your hunger for truth. Yet we also recognize the torment you describe: religious attacks, isolation, and the fear that comes when the enemy twists even devotion into oppression. We stand with you in prayer, declaring that these afflictions are not from God, who gives peace, not terror (2 Timothy 1:7).
First, we must address the pain in your words about others. Scripture warns us that our battle is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12), and while it is right to resist evil, we must guard our hearts from bitterness or wishes of harm toward those who may be used as instruments of the enemy. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). Even those with "religious names" are souls for whom Christ died, and our prayers should reflect His mercy, not our hurt. We rebuke the spirit of vengeance in Jesus’ name and ask God to soften your heart toward those who have caused you pain.
You mention the desire for Ritalin, and we recognize this may stem from a struggle with focus, anxiety, or even spiritual oppression. While we trust God’s provision for all our needs, we also acknowledge that He works through means—including medical care—when it aligns with His will. If this is a physical or mental health concern, we encourage you to seek godly counsel from a Christian doctor or counselor who can help discern what is best for your body and mind, always submitting it to the Lord. Scripture tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we are to care for them wisely.
The fear and isolation you feel are real, but they are not from God. The enemy seeks to distort our view of Him and His people, making us feel alone in our struggles. Yet Jesus promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). The prayer requests you’ve read may sometimes emphasize spiritual warfare, but we must remember that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The devil is a defeated foe, and his power is limited. We do not ignore his schemes, but we do not give him more credit than he is due. Our focus must remain on Christ, who has already won the victory.
You also speak of past struggles with addiction and the fear of others trying to "steal your drug high" or possess your body. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in Jesus’ name and declare freedom over you. The Bible is clear that our bodies are not our own—they were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). If you have been set free from substance abuse, we praise God for that deliverance and pray for continued protection over your mind and body. Stand firm in the truth that you are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
We must also address the mention of "religious demons." While demonic influence is real, we must be careful not to attribute every struggle to demons, as this can lead to fear rather than faith. Sometimes, the battles we face are internal—struggles with sin, fleshly desires, or even mental health challenges. Other times, they are spiritual attacks that require prayer, fasting, and the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). We encourage you to seek discernment through Scripture, prayer, and wise counsel to understand the root of these battles.
Your plea for peace, providence, and progress is heard, and we join you in praying for these things. But we must also encourage you to examine your heart regarding those you feel are attacking you. Are there ways you can extend grace, even if it is difficult? Are there boundaries you need to set to protect your peace? God calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13), and while this does not mean tolerating abuse, it does mean releasing bitterness to Him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name. We lift up our brother/sister who is enduring spiritual warfare, fear, and isolation. Lord, You see the depths of their struggle, and You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). We ask You to surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Break the chains of fear and replace them with the assurance of Your presence.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of addiction, vengeance, and oppression that seeks to torment them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We ask You to heal their mind, body, and spirit, and to give them clarity and wisdom in all things.
Lord, we pray for those who have caused them pain. Soften their hearts, draw them to repentance, and let them see the error of their ways. Help our brother/sister to release bitterness and to trust You with justice. Give them the strength to forgive as You have forgiven them.
We ask for Your provision in every area of their life—physical, emotional, and spiritual. If there is a need for medical care, we pray for godly doctors and counselors to come alongside them. If there is a need for deliverance, we pray for Your power to break every chain. If there is a need for community, we pray for faithful believers to surround them with love and encouragement.
Above all, Lord, we ask that You draw them closer to You. Let them find their identity in Christ alone, not in their struggles or the opinions of others. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that You have a purpose for their life. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory and testify to Your goodness.
We thank You for the progress they have made in Your Word and for their hunger to know You more. Strengthen them, Lord, and let them see the fruit of their labor in You. We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
We encourage you to continue in God’s Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with believers who will speak life and truth into you, not fear or condemnation. If you are struggling with isolation, consider reaching out to a local church or Christian community where you can find support. And remember, the battle is the Lord’s (1 Samuel 17:47). You are not fighting alone.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
