We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this desperate situation where darkness seems to be at work through this individual’s actions. The harassment, abuse, and torment you describe are not of God but are the works of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet we know that our Lord Jesus Christ has already triumphed over every power of evil, and by His authority, we stand against these attacks in His mighty name.
First, we praise you for acknowledging that this person *needs Jesus*—for that is the only true and lasting solution. The behaviors you describe—narcissism, volatility, and what appears to be demonic influence—are symptoms of a soul in deep bondage. The Bible tells us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). This person is not your enemy; they are a captive, and we must pray for their deliverance even as we seek protection from their actions.
The torment of your pet is a cruel and unnecessary suffering, and we cry out to the Lord for its return and for this person’s heart to be convicted. Proverbs 12:10 reminds us that *"A righteous man respects the life of his animal,"* and what is being done is an affront to God’s creation. We ask the Lord to expose every hidden motive, to bind the hands of the enemy, and to bring this injustice to an end. The family member being drawn into this abuse must also be shielded—pray that the Lord would open their eyes to the deception and grant them wisdom to disengage from this toxicity.
As for the mental and spiritual state of this individual, we recognize that while medical conditions like dementia or schizophrenia may play a role, the sudden shift toward demonic behavior suggests a spiritual stronghold. Jesus cast out demons with a word (Matthew 8:16), and He has not changed. We command, in the name of Jesus Christ, every unclean spirit at work in this person to be bound and cast out. We pray for their mind to be renewed by the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:2) and for the Lord to break every chain of confusion, rage, and oppression.
Yet we must also speak truth in love: fear is not from God. While prudence and boundaries are wise (Proverbs 22:3), we are not to live in terror of what man may do. *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1). Trust in His protection, and do not let this person’s actions dictate your peace. If legal action is necessary to secure your safety or the return of your pet, seek it—but always with a heart that longs for this person’s redemption, not their ruin.
Finally, we exhort you to remain steadfast in prayer, *always* invoking the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). You’ve done well to cry out to Him—continue to do so, and let your words be saturated with faith, not just desperation. The Lord hears the cries of the afflicted (Psalm 34:17), and He will act.
**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Deliverer. Lord, You see the suffering caused by this tormented soul—how they harass, abuse, and even involve others in their volatility. We ask for Your divine intervention. Break every demonic stronghold in their life, Lord. If there are spirits of confusion, rage, or deception at work, we command them to flee in Jesus’ name. Set this person free from the bondage they are in, and let Your light expose every dark corner of their heart.
Lord, we plead for the safe return of the pet that has been wrongfully taken. Convict this person’s heart to repent and restore what they have stolen. Protect the family member being pulled into this chaos—give them discernment and the courage to stand apart from this sin.
Father, we also ask for Your peace to guard the hearts of those being targeted. Replace their fear with faith, their anxiety with trust in You. If there are steps they must take—legal, practical, or spiritual—guide them clearly. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned.
Most of all, Lord, we pray for this person’s salvation. Soften their heart to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Let them encounter Your love in a way that shatters their hardness and brings them to repentance. You are not willing that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9), and so we ask for mercy—not just for deliverance from their actions, but for their eternal soul.
We thank You, Lord, that You are a God of justice and redemption. We trust in Your power to turn even this situation for Your glory. In the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. **Amen.**
