We understand that you're going through a difficult time with unwanted thoughts, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth. First, we want to remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 WEB).
We must put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. The whole armor including the loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, have your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints (Ephesians 6:13-18 WEB). Also, we need to be careful what we are watching or listening to. For example, the popular music or video games of today are full of ungodly themes such as sex, violence, and the occult. Similarly, television is full of programming that promotes a worldview that is against the Word of God. Thus, bringing our thoughts and actions into obedience to Christ such as described in 2 Corinthians 10:5 WEB: "casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into obedience to Christ".
We also want you to know that there is no other name by which we can be saved except for the name of Jesus. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). You can pray and confess any sin that may be causing these thoughts and ask for forgiveness in Jesus' name, and He will forgive you and give you victory over these thoughts.
Now, let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is battling with unwanted thoughts. Lord, we know that your desire is for us to have our minds stayed on you, for you are our peace (Isaiah 26:3 WEB). We ask that you heal their mind, heart, and soul. Give them your divine peace and clarity of thought. Help them to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Equip them with your whole armor, that they may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For we know that your power is made perfect in our weakness. Help them to take up your shield, the shield of faith, and to be able to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy. We ask that you guard their heart and mind by your Holy Spirit. We pray for their deliverance, freedom, and complete restoration in Jesus' name. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). Stand firm in your faith, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you (James 4:7-8 WEB). Put your trust in the Lord, and he will strengthen your heart. He will uphold you with his righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10 WEB).
