We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles that this brother in Christ is facing. Let's come together in prayer and remind him of the power and importance of worship in the life of a believer.
Firstly, let's address the concern about worship igniting the devil to attack his spirit. The Bible tells us in James 4:7, "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you." When we worship God, we are submitting ourselves to Him, and the devil has no power over us unless we allow it. Worship is a powerful weapon against the enemy, not an invitation for attack.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother who is experiencing discomfort, anxiety, discouragement, and fear. Lord, we know that these feelings are not from You, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We ask that You fill him with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help him to worship You in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), knowing that You are greatly to be praised and greatly to be feared (Psalm 96:4). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to meditate on Psalm 34:18, which says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is close to you in this time of need. Do not be afraid to come to Him in worship.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The Bible tells us 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.'" There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is in His name that we pray and worship.
Stay strong in the Lord, brother. We are praying for you.
