We hear the distress and fear in your request and we join with you in seeking the Lord's protection over your health and your life. We understand you feel surrounded and monitored and afflicted by those who wish you harm, and we want to bring this burden before our heavenly Father together in Jesus' name.
We must gently and lovingly correct the desire to ask God to curse and destroy those who are cursing you. The Word of God teaches us a different way to respond to our enemies. We are told in Romans 12:14, Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse. And again in Luke 6:27-28, But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. Vengeance does not belong to us. Romans 12:19 says, 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. We can trust God to be the righteous Judge who sees all things and will deal justly in His perfect time and way, while we are called to pray even for those who intend evil against us, that they might repent and turn to Christ.
We also want to remind you that while witchcraft and curses are real and are an abomination to the Lord as written in Deuteronomy 18:10-12, they have no ultimate power over one who belongs to Jesus Christ. The Scripture assures us in 1 John 4:4, You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. And in Isaiah 54:17, 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. When we abide in Christ, no curse can stand against us, for Numbers 23:8 asks, How can I curse whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce whom Yahweh has not denounced?
Therefore we do not need to live in fear of being monitored day and night by wicked people. God is the One who watches over you without ceasing, and He is your refuge. Psalm 91:1-2 says, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust. And 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. We encourage you to put on the full armor of God each day that you may stand against the schemes of the enemy, for Ephesians 6:12 tells us our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness, and Ephesians 6:11 calls us to put on the whole armor of God.
We notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and protection from the enemy. John 14:6 says, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 declares, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, confessing your sins and believing that He died and rose again for you. It is by His name and His blood that we have authority and victory.
We pray together for you now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ. We lift up this dear one to You who feels cursed and oppressed and fearful for their health. Lord, we ask You to surround them with Your presence as a shield. Cover them with Your wings and let them rest in Your shadow. We ask You to break and nullify every curse, every evil word and every witchcraft spoken against them, for we know that no curse can rest where You have given blessing. We pray for healing and strength in their body and peace in their mind, removing all fear and anxiety. Father, we also pray for those who are practicing wickedness against them, that You would convict their hearts, open their eyes to the truth, and bring them to repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ rather than destruction. Help our dear friend to forgive and to bless those who curse them, trusting You as the just Judge. Let them walk in the power and love and self control You have given, clothed in the armor of God, standing firm in Christ. We pray all of this in the precious name of Jesus, our refuge and deliverer, amen.
We encourage you to stay close to Jesus daily through prayer and reading the Scriptures, to speak His Word aloud over your life, and to fellowship with faithful believers who can pray with you and support you. Keep your eyes on Christ and not on those who wish you harm, for the Lord is your keeper and He will keep you in perfect peace as you trust in Him.

We hear how heavy and exhausting this has been for you, feeling watched day and night and carrying worry about your health. Living with that kind of fear and strain takes a real toll, and thank you for letting us pray with you about it.
We want you to know you are not forgotten and you are not without protection. We believe God sees you, stays near to you, and cares deeply about both your peace and your health. When fear gets loud it can help to turn our attention away from those we feel are against us and back to resting in His care, entrusting all justice to Him while we ask for His guarding and mercy in our own lives.
It can make a steady difference not to carry this alone. If you have a trusted pastor or mature believer nearby, consider sharing with them so they can walk with you, pray with you in person, and help you stay connected. And since you mentioned your health is suffering, please also reach out to a medical professional for care alongside prayer, so you have support for your body as well as your spirit.
Father, we lift our friend to You right now. We ask for Your protection over them, for calm in place of fear, for wisdom and for healing in their body. Guard their nights and days, give them rest and trusted people around them, and lead them in Your will and peace. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
Spurgeon
Beloved of All
Your cry under this heavy sense of being watched and cursed has been heard, and my heart is moved with compassion for your distress and for your health.
It is a grievous thing to feel that enemies surround you day and night, yet hear the word of the Lord for those who fear Him. Our afflictions may come distinctly from man, as the result of persecution or malice, and yet they may come with even greater certainty from the Lord and may be the necessary outcome of His special love to us. For this reason we may wisely moderate our anger against second causes. No curse, no witch nor wizard, no malice of man can act apart from the permission of your heavenly Father, and if you are His child through faith in Christ, you are not left to the power of darkness.
Scripture teaches that deliverance from the power of darkness is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and we must look to our heavenly Father, altogether and alone, for it. He has taught many a tried soul the mischief that comes from fearing man, and He has delivered us from the fascinating power of sin, from the power of darkness. If sin is taken away, why need we fear? Did He give His own dear Son to put away our sin, and will He not give us protection and daily bread?
You ask that God would curse and destroy those who curse you. But the Spirit of Christ calls us to another way. Vengeance belongs unto the Lord, and our calling is not to ask for curses upon others, but to seek deliverance for ourselves and mercy for them. There is forgiveness with God, that He may be feared, but that forgiveness is only to be obtained from God, through Jesus Christ, His Son. That blessed and comprehensive sentence, Man, your sins are forgiven you, sets free from every jot and taint and stain of guilt, and it contains no conditions for the repenting and believing sinner. Having been forgiven, we come to love and fear, not with a servile fear, but with a holy awe, the Blessed One through whose precious blood we have been cleansed.
Consider also the poor soul who feels he is going down to the Pit, bound by fear and by sin. The word has gone forth to the messengers of Divine Justice, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, for I have found a ransom. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance of a sinner from the pit through a ransom if God had not thought of it. It is a gift of Divine Love. Christ can heal sin and He can heal the body in the same way that He cured the leper, for when He touches, the malady departs the moment He touches.
Therefore I would pray with you not for the destruction of your enemies, but for your deliverance and theirs. Let us pray that the Lord would put His fear in your heart, that you shall not depart from Him, that He would give you a new heart and a new spirit within you, that He would deliver you from going down to the Pit, save you from yourself and from all the attacks of sin and from the fear of man, and grant you healing according to His perfect will. Let us pray also that those who wish you ill may be brought to see their need of the same forgiveness, for there is forgiveness with Him, and none fear and love and bless and praise God as much as those who know it.
Be encouraged by this truth, that God never has forsaken them that fear Him, and moreover He never will do so. If the Spirit draws you to the mercy seat, such fear must vanish, for if you are at the mercy seat, God is there too. Wait only upon God, for your expectation is from Him. Then you shall no longer fear the archers, but being delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, you shall sit by the well's brink and be refreshed, and you shall live and declare the works of the Lord.
May the Lord chasten you only as a Father chastens a beloved child, not as a Judge punishes a lawbreaker, and may faith comfort you with the assurance of forgiveness and security from punishment, and keep you in perfect peace as you trust in Jesus Christ alone, who is our only ransom and our sure deliverance.
