I don't usually do this kind of thing. In fact, this is legitimately the first time I've EVER asked anyone outside of my immediate family to pray for me (as in JUST myself) specifically, but the Lord put this in my mind and laid it on my heart, so here I am.
As of late, I've been struggling greatly. The devil has been assaulting me nonstop. That's the only way I can think of to describe it. Nonstop thoughts trying to seed doubts, fears, worries, anxiety, etc. almost entirely on topics and subjects that are out of my control and normal people don't worry about on a daily basis 24/7, in an almost obsessive manner to the point that, I've legitimately vomited in my mouth and been sick to my stomach more than once. Its almost like I'm being forced into a existential crisis daily for a couple of weeks now where I have no peace, nothing I normally enjoy or do for fun brings me any kind of happiness. The only time I have any kind of "peace" so to speak, is when I'm doing something mind numbing where I'm not thinking AT ALL. I've prayed together with my family twice now, and it DOES subside and go away, but the Lord's laid this on my heart to ask you guys to pray for me too.
So I'd appreciate anyone who can take a moment to just pray a quick prayer of peace and protection from the devil's machinations and attacks against me. Thank you to anyone who does so.
EDIT: I should also ask for prayers for my family too so that this stuff doesn't start happening to them as either. Thank you for that as well.
EDIT 2: Woke up this morning and saw I had nearly 80 comments and 154 likes. Read through everything and, I just wanna thank you all. I already thanked the Lord for helping me to feel better, since I do. But thank you all as well for praying for me and my family.
Matthew 18:20 (NIV): "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them".
Well, with a 150+ I'd say Jesus is here for all of us facing this stuff. Thank you Heavenly Father for blessing all of us and doing what's best for us. For guiding us and leading us so that your will may be done in our lives. For helping us when we're down and out and picking us back up. For giving us peace, your heavenly peace, and relief from the assaults of the evil one and his minions. In the Holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior, we pray and ask for all of this Father.
Amen
(Speaking from personal experience with something similar.) Have you spoken to your pastor about this? If what's happening has a diabolical element, this would be your best source of support and assistance in the prayer battle. :-)
Here's a prayer that I've used:
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank you for all you have given me. Please cover me with the protective, precious blood of your Son, Jesus Christ, and increase your Holy Spirit in me with His gifts of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, hunger for prayer, guidance, and discernment to help me know your will and surrender to it more completely.
Father, please heal my negative emotions and any wounds in my heart and spirit. Send the sword of your Holy Spirit to sever and break all spells, curses, hexes, voodoo, and all negative genetic, intergenerational and addictive material, past, present, or to come, known or unknown, against me, my relationships and family, finances, possessions, and ministry.
Father, I forgive and I ask forgiveness for my sins and failings and I ask that my whole person, body and mind, heart and will, soul and spirit, memory and emotions, attitudes and values lie cleansed, renewed, and protected by the most precious blood of your Son Jesus.
I've added you to my daily prayer list. Do not give up, do not give in. The Lord loves you and is right there with you in the midst of this. And don't forget to ask your Guardian Angel to do battle for you. The Lord gave him to you at the moment of your conception, to guide you and protect you throughout your life. +++
My first thought too! Diabolical oppression. I had it from, I believe, my mother's occult dabbling. I called it the committee. Constant intrusive negative thoughts. Its gone thanks to my real relationship with Jesus. He sent it away. But I had to give up first and accept His help. 🙏✝️
Yep. Similar for me. Not from occult stuff, but from some other heavy-duty family brokenness. A priest prayed over me and anointed me....and "poof" ...the intrusive thoughts were gone.
Great prayer. I’ll be using that.
