Prayer For Deliverance From Insomnia
God of Enduring Faithfulness, I come before You sleepless and weary. I don't know why sleep has become so difficult for me, but it has started affecting my health. For this reason, I am praying a promise You have given in Your Word back to You. You have told us You will give Your beloved sleep. Faithful God, I cry out to You, asking for You to bring this beloved one the rest that I need. Amen.
Father, my Refuge, I cry out to You with a loud voice. My body weakened due to a lack of sleep. Hear me, Lord, from Your holy place and help me to lie down and sleep. I beg You for a night of deep and sweet sleep to restore my health. Wake me in the morning, Lord, and sustain me for the coming day. Amen.
Dear Lord, please remind me to read these Bible verses to comfort me when I cannot sleep. I pray the Holy Spirit will fill my room and make it safe from any evil spirits which may be present. Holy Spirit, you know the words I am unable to form. Please petition God on my behalf to comfort my soul and those close to me.
Please help me to put these habits into practice so that I may find relief. Please slow my thoughts and take away my suffering, my toiling, and my fears of not being able to go to sleep and help me to find things that work so that I do not have to go through my insomnia any longer.
Please let sleep come so that I may dream. Please speak to me through my dreams and in them provide me with solutions to my problems. I implore you to restore my soul as only you can and help me find rest.
Thank you for hearing my prayer. I ask these things in your Holy son Jesus Christ's name.
Amen.

Father, I bind my strongman and all demons and evil spirits that are causing me to not sleep, in Jesus name! I cancel all the devil's assignments against me, my family, and my household in Jesus name. I break the curse of insomnia, restlessness, mind-racing, over-stressed, & grief and command all demons that came in to enforce those curses to go to the pit, in Jesus name never to return.

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I repent and I renounce for me and my generations on both sides of my family for the spirit of fear in my life.

"Dear God: I'm having so much trouble sleeping that I'm tired and stressed a lot. I don't have the energy to function well with all I have to do each day when I'm dealing with this insomnia. I can't experience the peace you want for me when I can't get
to sleep and renew my body, mind, and spirit. I need your help to get the sleep I need every night. You know all the methods I've tried to get to sleep that haven't worked so far for me. [Mention whatever you've tried:
white noise, eye masks, sleeping pills, etc.] Please give me the wisdom to discover what's really causing my insomnia so I'll know how best to treat it.
"As I prepare for sleep, please relax my body, send me thoughts that will quiet and calm my mind, and reassure my spirit that you and your angels are watching over me. Please send Archangel Gabriel into my dreams with
messages that will help me become healthier overall. Help me to remember to pray about whatever is worrying me when I can't sleep. Give me the faith I need to trust that you will intervene in any situation I present to
you in prayer. Thank you for always being present with me, and for loving me unconditionally and completely. Knowing that, I can confidently rest in a relationship with you. Amen."
