Youth in a Group home
- Thread starter Thriarianmar
- Start date
We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up these precious young souls who are entangled in the dark practices of witchcraft and the worship of Satan. The Word of God is clear, these things are an abomination to the Lord, and we must stand in the gap for these children with fervent prayer and godly intervention.
The Bible warns us in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (WEB), "There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh." These practices open doors to demonic influence and lead hearts away from the light of Christ. We must rebuke this deception in the mighty name of Jesus, for He alone has power over darkness.
First and foremost, we pray for the salvation of these youth. They may not yet know the love of Jesus or the freedom He offers. Romans 10:13 (WEB) declares, "For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Let us cry out for their hearts to be softened, for their eyes to be opened to the truth, and for the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin and draw them to repentance. We plead the blood of Jesus over them, breaking every chain of bondage and every lie they have believed.
We also pray for the staff and caregivers in this group home. They need wisdom, courage, and discernment to guide these young people toward Christ. Ephesians 6:12 (WEB) reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." They are on the front lines of a spiritual battle, and they need our prayers for strength and protection.
Father God, we ask You to send laborers into this group home, believers who will share the gospel with boldness and love. Let Your Word be proclaimed, and let it take root in the hearts of these youth. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the light of Christ will penetrate the darkness in their lives. We command every demonic spirit influencing them to flee in the name of Jesus, for He has already triumphed over the powers of darkness (Colossians 2:15).
We also pray for healing and restoration. Many of these young people may have experienced trauma, rejection, or pain that has led them to seek comfort in darkness. Lord, bind up their wounds, heal their hearts, and fill them with Your peace. Psalm 147:3 (WEB) says, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." Let them find true comfort in You, the only One who can satisfy their deepest longings.
Lastly, we pray for a revival in that group home. Let the presence of God fill that place, and let these youth encounter the living Christ in a way that transforms their lives forever. May they turn from their sins, renounce all ties to witchcraft and Satan, and walk in the freedom and purpose You have for them.
We stand on Your promises, Lord, and we trust You to move mightily on behalf of these young souls. In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We’ve been lifting this up with you, and we don’t take lightly the weight you’re carrying. When young people are entangled in spiritual darkness right in the room where you serve them day-to-day, it’s easy to feel outmatched or just worn down. You are not alone in carrying this burden. It takes real courage to care for these kids while seeing them pulled away by forces they may not fully understand, and your request for prayer warriors shows you know where the real battle is waged.
One thing we’re reminded of in moments like this: the enemy’s greatest ploy is fear, to make us believe the darkness is stronger than it really is. But Jesus has already disarmed the powers of darkness, and his Spirit in us is greater than anything in the world. We don’t have to panic. We simply stand together, persistently, and ask our all-powerful Father to act.
If you haven’t already, we’d gently encourage you to gather just a few trusted believers, maybe a staff colleague or a friend from church, who will agree to pray with you regularly, even briefly, by name for each young person. Let prayer be as consistent as meal times or bed checks; it quietly changes the atmosphere in ways we can’t engineer.
Father, we lift up these youth to you right now. We ask in Jesus’ name that you break every tie to darkness that holds their hearts. Send your holy light into their confusion and pain, and let them begin to know your real, kind presence. Give the staff supernatural wisdom and protection, and blanket that home with your peace. We trust you to do what only you can, reach the unreachable and set captives free. Amen.

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, deliver, heal, save (those not saved) 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.
Heavenly Father, we come against every spirit of darkness, witchcraft, and deception that has taken hold of these youth. We declare that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Shine Your light into every shadow, for the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it (John 1:5). Open their eyes, Lord, and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God (Acts 26:18). Break every chain and stronghold over their minds and hearts (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). Surround them with Your angels, and let them encounter Your love so powerfully that they willingly turn to You. Protect the other youth and staff in that home, and raise up godly influences who will speak truth into their lives. We ask that You rescue them, for You are mighty to save (Zephaniah 3:17). In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

It is well that you have called for prayer warriors, for the battle is fierce, and the darkness you describe is not a common night but that deep gloom wherein souls are held captive by the devil at his will. Yet take heart, God has given commandment to save, and He shall save. Deliverance from the power of darkness is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and He alone can pluck these youth from the snare of the fowler. The witch crafts and devil worship are but the outward chains of an inward bondage, a prison from which only the great Emancipator can set the captive free. Remember, nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance from the pit of Hell through a ransom if God had not thought of it! And He has found a ransom, the precious blood of His own dear Son, sufficient even for those who have given themselves over to such abominations.
Therefore, let your prayers be mighty and unceasing, pleading the promise, "Deliver him from going down to the Pit." Cry it out, again and again, in the secret place, for "Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." These youth must be born again from above if they are to go above; no other power can break the spell upon their souls. Flee, then, in your intercessions, straight to the throne of grace, that they too may be moved to "flee from the wrath to come." The wrath of God is a tremendous peril, and none can endure it, not with ribs of granite or nerves of brass. Yet the way of escape is open: Christ Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, and He ever lives to make intercession for transgressors.
I charge you, therefore, stand in the gap as one who believes that the Lord has found a ransom. Pray that the supernatural power of the Holy Ghost would dispel the concealments of darkness, shine the light of truth into their hearts, and translate them from the power of Satan unto God. And when the Lord shall give deliverance, as He surely will, for it is of Free Grace alone, then shall these delivered ones declare the works of the Lord, and their testimony shall be, "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Take courage, and battle on your knees, for He who delivered us from so great a death does deliver, and in Him we trust that He will yet deliver.
