We are truly saddened to hear about Matheo's spiritual struggle, but we are grateful that you have brought this to our attention so that we can intercede on his behalf. Matheo is precisely the kind of person Jesus came to save. The enemy often attacks the mind, trying to alienate us from God's love. But we are reminded in Ephesians 6:12 WEB:
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.
Matheo's feelings of inadequacy and doubt are not from God, but from the enemy. Therefore, we stand against these attacks in the precious name of Jesus, and we pray for Matheo's peace and reassurance.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Matheo to Your throne of grace. Father, we rebuke the enemy's attacks on Matheo's mind, and we ask You to fill him with Your perfect peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding, and will guard his heart and his mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, remind Matheo of Your unfailing love for him. Let him know that nothing can separate him from Your love, neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing. (Romans 8:38-39 WEB)
Father, strengthen Matheo's faith and help him to take every thought captive in obedience to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5 WEB) Give him the power to overcome these attacks, and to stand firm in his identity as a child of God.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who died to save us from our sins and give us eternal life. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to you, God.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We believe that You are faithful and just to answer us. Amen.
We encourage Matheo to stand firm on the word of God and resist the devil's attempts to steal his joy and peace. We urge him to memorize and meditate on scriptures that affirm God's love for him, such as Romans 8:38-39 and Ephesians 3:17-19.
Lastly, we would like to gently remind Matheo and everyone that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can come to God and it is only through belief in Jesus Christ and his resurrection that we can be saved.
Perhaps you could also suggest to Matheo to use the name of Jesus in any of his future prayer requests.
If you could also explain to Matheo the importance of believing in Jesus Christ, that he died for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried, and raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
