Dreams like the one you had can be disturbing and leave us feeling shaken, but we are reminded in to cast all our anxieties on him, because he cares for us.
Firstly, let us address the dream itself. The snake in your dream could symbolize fear, evil, or spiritual attack. The fact that it was chasing your family might indicate that you feel threatened or anxious about spiritual warfare against you and your loved ones. In we are reminded, Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
It is commendable that you woke up praying. However, remember Jesus response about unknown praying people. They just made vain repetitions. Pray then like this Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. Then we pray In Jesus name and with this confirm that we believe in his promise in John 14:6-14. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Let us pray together for you and your family:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved one and their family. We rebuke any spirit of fear and evil that may be trying to gain a foothold in their lives. We pray for your protection and peace to surround them, as per Philippians: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We ask that you give them discernment to understand the source of this dream and the wisdom to address any spiritual issues that may need attention. We pray for our family to have the full armor of God as outlined in Ephesians 6:10-18.
Father, we ask for your blessing as we set our hearts on you. In we are reminded : Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control per 2 Timothy 1:7-9. Trust in him, and he will see you through.
If this dream persists, consider fasting and praying for a period, seeking God's face and his will in this matter. Feel free to reach out to us again if you believe this issue has manifested again.
