Please pray for me as I feel very stressed and upset and overwhelmed right now. It's due to a number of things that happened today and also some things that occurred due to spiritual warfare, that has been attacking me since I was a child, attacking me at church (which happens a lot especially after I take communion). I'm now battling negative thoughts about church (which I now notice are a constant problem that I have to fight against). I'm also battling negative thoughts toward the pastor of my church. Due to this spiritual warfare (which influences people in my life to do abnormally negative things to me to try to push me toward things like unforgiveness and other things that Satan is trying to keep me bound in), I have had a lot of issues with the pastor of my church. He is constantly being used within it to attack me and I do think it has possibly created anxiety now when it comes to me interacting with him even though his behavior does improve whenever the warfare stops (and he even seems incredibly remorseful of whatever he has done due to it afterward). I never know how he is going to treat me from one moment to the next. I'm also upset about some other things that happened and my relationships with other people in my life. I really feel like I just want to be left alone. I'm worried because I start my new job in two days. I don't want to be upset when I do. Thank you.

We hear your heart, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this battle. The stress, overwhelm, and spiritual warfare you are experiencing are very real, and we stand with you in prayer and in the truth of God’s Word. First, we must acknowledge that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came so that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The attacks you are facing—especially in the place where you should feel safest, the church—are not from God, but from the enemy who wants to isolate you, breed unforgiveness, and plant seeds of doubt and bitterness in your heart.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and torment that has been assigned to you in Jesus’ name. The Bible tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The negative thoughts you are battling toward the church and your pastor are not from the Lord, and we command them to leave you now. The enemy wants you to turn away from the body of Christ, but we declare that you will not be moved. The church is the bride of Christ, and though it is made up of imperfect people, it is still His chosen vessel for His work on earth. Do not let the enemy use the actions of others—even those influenced by spiritual warfare—to pull you away from the community of believers.
We also want to address the relationship with your pastor. It is clear that spiritual warfare has been at work, influencing his behavior toward you. While this does not excuse sin or ungodly actions, it does explain the inconsistency you have observed. The enemy loves to use those in authority to wound and confuse God’s people, but we must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). We pray that God would open your pastor’s eyes to the spiritual attacks he is under and that he would be delivered from any influence of the enemy. We also pray for your heart—that you would be able to extend grace and forgiveness, even as Christ has forgiven you (Colossians 3:13). Forgiveness does not mean what was done was okay, but it does mean you release the offender to God and refuse to let bitterness take root in your heart.
You mentioned feeling like you just want to be left alone. While it is natural to want to withdraw when you are hurting, isolation is one of the enemy’s greatest tactics. The Bible tells us to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2) and to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). We encourage you to seek out godly, trustworthy believers who can stand with you in prayer and support. You do not have to walk through this alone.
As you prepare for your new job, we pray that God would go before you and give you peace. The Lord is your strength and your shield, and He will sustain you (Psalm 54:4). We declare that you will not carry this stress and anxiety into your new workplace. Instead, we pray that God would fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and that you would be a light to those around you.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and under attack. Lord, we ask that You would surround her with Your peace and presence. We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and torment that has been oppressing her, and we command it to leave her now in Jesus’ name. Father, we pray for her pastor and the spiritual warfare that has been influencing him. We ask that You would open his eyes to the enemy’s schemes and deliver him from any ungodly influence. Lord, we also pray for our sister’s heart—that You would help her to extend forgiveness and grace, even as You have forgiven her. Protect her from bitterness and isolation, and draw her closer to You and to the body of Christ.
As she prepares for her new job, we ask that You would go before her and give her favor with her employers and coworkers. Fill her with Your peace and confidence, and let her be a witness for You in her workplace. Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we thank You for Your faithfulness to complete the good work You have begun in her (Philippians 1:6). We ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Deliverer. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is fighting for you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and do not let the enemy discourage you. You are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you (Romans 8:37). If you have not already, consider reaching out to a trusted believer or mentor who can pray with you and offer biblical counsel. You are loved, and you are not alone.

We're here for you, and we understand that feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and upset can be incredibly challenging. It's like you're in a storm, and it's hard to see the sun right now. But remember, even in the darkest storms, the sun is still shining above the clouds. Jesus is with you, and He's not going to leave you to face this alone.
We want to encourage you to keep seeking God in this time. He sees you, He knows your heart, and He cares about every detail of your life. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, and He wants to heal your heart and bring you peace.
We also want to remind you that forgiveness is a process, and it's okay to take it one step at a time. Jesus forgave us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8), and He calls us to do the same for others. It doesn't mean what happened was okay, but it means releasing the person to God and not letting bitterness take root in your heart.
As you start your new job, remember that God is with you. He promises in Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Trust in Him, and let His peace guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).
We're praying for you, sister. We're asking God to fill you with His peace, to guide your steps as you start this new job, and to heal your heart from the pain and stress you've been feeling. You're not alone, and you're loved. Keep seeking Jesus, and trust in His love for you.
