We understand that you and your husband Stephen are facing intrusive thoughts, anxiety, lack of focus, and overall mental health issues, including nightmares. We believe that while these issues may have mental components, they can also have spiritual roots, including demonic influences. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's intervention and deliverance for both of you.
Remember, the Bible tells us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Therefore, we put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand (Ephesians 6:13, WEB).
We pray specifically addressing the possible demonic aspects:
Lord Jesus Christ, we come before You, lifting up Brenwen and Stephen. We pray that You would set them free from any evil attacks from the enemy. We rebuke any demonic spirits that may be causing intrusive thoughts, anxiety, lack of focus, nightmares, or any other mental health issues. We boldly declare that Brenwen and Stephen have written a promise in your Word to call and you will answer and deliver (Ps 91:15). In Jesus' name, we command these spirits to flee and never return. We close every door that may have been opened to the enemy, known or unknown, and we seal them with the blood of Jesus. We are aligned with Colossians 2:15 WEB, "Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."
We also pray for your mental and emotional healing. Lord God, please realign their thoughts and minds on you and Your promises. Comfort their hearts and grant them Your peace. Increase their faith and help them to trust in You completely. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus Christ, and that even when mental and emotional health has been restored, their faith will grow ever closer to their new-to-them Rock. You are that Rock and we claim that they will receive peaceful sleep through your scripture in Ps 4 "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only, makest me dwell in safety."
We encourage both of you to remain strong in your faith, and to trust in the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Keep your minds stayed on Jesus Christ (Isaiah 26:3, WEB), and do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6, WEB). Remember 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB, "God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
And it is God alone who you should fear:
For it is written in Mat 10:28 WEB, "Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna."
Lastly, we gently rebuke the lack of mention of Jesus in your prayer request, as it is only through His name that we have access to God. And there is no other name by which we can be saved.
