I had a really bad episode of sleep paralysis last night and it felt demonic in nature. It happens to me once or twice every year it seems. As darkness starts to settle in for the night, I’m getting scared to go to sleep in a little while. If you’re reading this can you pray for me? Thank you

I will pray for you.
Do not let the fear overtake you, but rather pray for light. The light will make the darkness disappear. Call to our Heavenly Father…He will hear, and He will answer you. Trust in Him.
Thank you ❤️
You are very welcome. One other thing: The suggestion in one of the comments regarding sleeping on your side, rather than on your back, has validity and is something I also heard from my spiritual mentor - someone well-informed on how the demonic operates. He also advised not letting your feet dangle off the bed, and to keep them under the covers. This may sound childish to those unfamiliar with the spirit realm, but my experience tells me otherwise.
Yeah I could never let my feet dangle off the bed- I guess it goes back to being a kid and feeling like something would come up and grab them. Maybe that was natural instincts or something? Can you explain why sleeping on the side is better? I’m interested
I was the same as a kid! I think as children, we just “know”. (Not a kid anymore, but still don’t let my feet dangle off the bed!)
It’s not so much about sleeping on your side, as it is about not sleeping on your back….something having to do with the solar plexus being open and vulnerable when on one’s back, making it easier for the demonic to take hold.
I still keep my extremities within the border of the bed. I'm fairly tall and even when sleeping in small beds or couches I go fetal position if I have to.
Yes! I was going to suggest that too, not to fall asleep on your back!

Q often quoted Eph. 6:10-18. The only offensive weapon in the armor of God is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word Of God. Remember Jesus fought Satan not with argument but with “It is written”
