We understand that you are feeling drained when you are around certain people, and we are here to pray and offer guidance in Jesus' name. It is important to remember that our strength and energy come from the Lord, and there is no need to fear so-called "energy vampires". The Bible tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Therefore, let us put on the whole armor of God.
Ephesians 6:10-12 WEB Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the worldโs rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother and sister in Christ who feels drained by those around them. We pray that You will fill them with Your Holy Spirit and strengthen them with Your mighty power. Help them to put on the whole armor of God, to stand firm against any spiritual forces that may be causing this drained feeling. Teach them to discern the spirits and to be a light in the darkness, and, if necessary, help them set boundaries to protect their energy for their service to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is important to be wise and discerning in our interactions with others. If there are people in your life who are consistently draining your energy and drawing you away from God, it may be wise to set boundaries and limit your time with them. However, also consider that God may be calling you to be a light in their darkness, to share the love of Christ with them, always understanding that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
Acts 4:12 WEB There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved!
We encourage you to seek the Lord's will in this situation and to trust in His strength and guidance. Be encouraged by these words from the Psalms:
Psalm 32:8 WEB I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
Psalm 34:5 WEB Those who look to him are radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
Stand strong in the Lord, dear brother and sister.
