Prayer Against Stress And Anxiety

Let’s face it, even as Christians stress and anxiety can creep into our everyday lives before we know it. It can come in through many different reasons and manifest itself through sickness, high blood pressure, heart attacks, anger, poor immune system and even death. I felt compelled to share this prayer against stress and anxiety with our readers.

As a busy woman myself, I understand that anxiety and stress are always crouching at my door looking to take over. The Lord gave me this word to share with our readers over 2 years ago after a spiritual encounter I had late one night. As I was lying in my bed I felt such an unusual rush of anxiety and fear come over me. I say it was unusual because I am not a person who tends to stress over too much of anything. My motto is if I can do something about it then I will. If It is out of my control, I pray about it and keep it moving.

This particular night I knew it was a spiritual attack because it seemed like EVERYTHING I had to do came rushing on me like a flood. This overwhelming feeling came rushing over me. My heart began to race fast and it felt like I couldn’t breath. I could feel fear begin to grip my heart. When I got out of the bed, I began to war in my spiritual tongues until this spirit left.  I knew I was not the only one who had experienced something like this. When I shared this experience with our Facebook followers at the time, I received several messages from other believers who had been experiencing these same attacks at night. It is the Lord’s desire that we are equipped in His Word and not ignorant of Satan’s devices.

The Spirit of Heaviness

The end Strongman Spirit that sends out worry, stress, anxiety and fear is Death. You don’t even have to be a believer to see that death is all around us, especially premature death. Death is a spirit and must be bound. Worry, stress and fear are demonic spirits that come to literally pull your mind into a dark place of hopelessness and despair. This place of despair leads into a Spirit of Heaviness and it is in this place that the strongman Spirit of Death comes to take over.

These spirits of fear, worry, anxiety and fear come frequently during the night season to bring terror, restlessness and insomnia. Please understand that we are in an unseen spiritual war and the only way to fight these spirits is with the Word of God. The Word of God is your sword and you must know how to wield or handle your spiritual weapon. Speak the Word of God throughout your day and especially at night. My prayer is that no matter what is going on around you, that the Lord will fill you to overflow with His peace and everlasting love.

Bind The Strongman

The Bible teaches us about binding and loosing. In order to defeat the spirits of stress and anxiety, we must first bind The Strongman of Fear. Stress and anxiety are symptoms rooted in the Spirit of Fear. Once you bind the strongman of fear in your life, you can then loose power, a sound mind and the Love of God in your life.

John 16:33
I have told you these things so that you can have peace in me.
In this world you will have troubles.
But be brave! I have defeated the world!

Affirmations For Stress Relief

The Bible tells us that God’s word is alive and working. It is sharper than the sharpest sword and cuts all the way into us. It cuts deep to the place where the soul and the spirit are joined. God’s word cuts to the center of our joints and our bones. It judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts. It is the peace of God that will give us relief from all our cares, stress and anxiety.
