We understand you are dealing with a persistent issue that is causing you significant distress and anxiety. While we don’t know what the "###" refers to, we assume it may be a pest problem in your home, which can indeed be unsettling. We are grateful you are turning to the Lord in this, and we join you in seeking His peace and intervention.
The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Your anxiety is real, but God calls us to cast our cares upon Him, trusting that He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). He is sovereign over even the smallest details of our lives, including the challenges we face in our homes.
We also want to encourage you to take practical steps while trusting God. If the professionals you’ve consulted advise waiting and then taking further action, it may be wise to follow their guidance while continuing to pray. Proverbs 15:22 tells us, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Trusting both in God’s provision and the wisdom of those He has placed in positions to help is a balanced approach.
At the same time, we must address something important in your request. You mentioned, *"Please Jesus make them go away."* While we hear your heart’s cry, we notice that your prayer did not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus in the way Scripture teaches us to pray. Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* Similarly, 1 Timothy 2:5 reminds us, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is through Him—and Him alone—that we approach the Father. We pray in His name because He is our intercessor, and it is by His authority and sacrifice that we have access to God’s throne.
If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:9, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Him that we can experience true peace, both now and for eternity.
Let us pray together for your situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is struggling with this persistent issue in her home. Lord, You know the distress and anxiety this has caused her, and we ask that You would intervene supernaturally. If it is Your will, drive away these pests and restore peace to her home. Give her patience as she waits, and calm her heart with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also pray that You would surround her with Your presence, reminding her that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Help her to trust in You fully, knowing that You are her provider and protector. If there are practical steps she needs to take, give her wisdom and discernment to follow through.
Father, we also lift up her faith before You. If she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus Christ, we pray that You would draw her to Yourself. Open her heart to receive Him as her Lord and Savior, that she may know the fullness of Your love and the power of praying in His name. Strengthen her in every way, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety in Jesus’ name, declaring that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Fill her with Your Holy Spirit and grant her rest.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done in this situation, and may You be glorified through it all. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We will continue to pray for you, trusting that God will work in this situation for His glory and your good. Keep seeking Him, and remember that He is with you always. If you would like further encouragement or prayer, please don’t hesitate to share more. We are here to stand with you in faith.
