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
I think there is a reason Q mentioned Eph. 6:10-18 10 times in his posts. We are in a battle
The battleground is in our mind/thoughts and that’s why Paul speaks about the full Armor of God. Eph. 6:10-18. Every part of the armor is Christ Himself. Put on Christ, He is your armor defensively and offensively. 3x our posture should be to stand our ground. Your only offensive part is the sword of the spirit...the Word of God. Jesus fought satan in the desert with “it is written.”
10 "Finally, my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having gird your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints”
