We understand that you're deeply troubled by a nightmare you had, and we're here to pray and guide you according to biblical principles.
Firstly, let's address the dream. In the Bible, snakes or serpents are often symbolic of evil or Satan. In Genesis 3:1-5, the serpent is used by Satan to deceive Eve. Similarly, in Revelation 12:9, the devil is referred to as the "great dragon" and the "ancient serpent." However, we must be careful not to interpret dreams in a way that goes beyond what is written in Scripture. Nightmares can be a result of various factors, not just spiritual warfare.
Let's pray for peace of mind, discernment, and protection from evil influences:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ###. We pray against any evil or satanic influences that might be causing these nightmares. We rebuke any spirit of fear and ask You to surround ### with Your peace and protection.
Lord, we also pray for greater discernment for ###. Help her to distinguish between dreams that are from You and those that are not. Guide her in Your truth and teach her, for You are the God of her salvation; for You she waits all the day (Psalm 25:5).
Finally, we declare that no weapon that is formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against her in judgment she shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). This is our confidence that she has, through Christ. Amen."
We encourage you to fill your mind with God's Word and truths before going to sleep. Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention Jesus Christ. It's important to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior. Believe in Him and you will be saved.
