This is from the start of a thread posted yrs ago on Spiritual battle... I have copied it to begin a thread on prayer lke this here, for i lack words to say thoughts and feelings too. My stomach is simply tense as i see my teens begin the day with turning on the pc for an online game, and cannot be told to stop anymore. I know my fault in not cutting that early on, and they manage to do that after their father leaves early for work. They do go to school, but have been so distracted by these senseless, fearful games. Please pray for the children to return to the living words they grew up with when small. and take to heart that it is not good for their souls to dwell on thse distracting social media and games.

[copied] As of yesterday, I pledged to myself and to God that I vowed to fight for these blessings. I know now that I am definitely and currently in a spiritual battle that even I cannot explain here in this post. I know what to say, but cannot find the words to do so. I have been talking to my parents about when it comes to the desires of my heart and the like... my father automatically came to one conclusion... I am in a spiritual battle, fighting for 4 people: him, my mother, my exboyfriend, and myself. I'm fighting for my father in regards to his health. I am fighting for my mother in regards to her smoking. I am fighting for my exboyfriend and myself at the same time in regards to our reconciliation of our relationship and souls alike. My exboyfriend seems like a lost soul that needs to be found again. And my love for him has never died. My father also has told me this, "You are fighting for the one you love, for him to come to you again and for both of you to be blessed by Christ together, so both of you will be together on earth and in heaven alike. You must stay strong for the both of you. Have courage and faith that he will come to you again, for you have asked Christ to draw both of you closer together again and for restoration to come forth. Have faith that your mother will stop smoking and for me to be healed. Stay strong and know that you are fighting for the people you love, not for yourself. You want all of us together as a family and for all of us to enter heaven together, not one left behind. That, Melody, is a battle you are trying to fight." My mother did not understand it at first, but came to an understanding a few minutes later. And I never thought my father would say something like this, for I have not heard him talk about spiritual battles and the like ever before, even since he got saved. This has to be from God, through my father's mouth!

Lord, please help this person and their family. You know their needs. In the name of Jesus I pray and give thanks. Amen.
