You lay it on the throne. You speak the Word over it. You cast it out — and then it makes another guest appearance. If you’ve ever thought, “Are you kidding me? I just got rid of you,” you’re not alone.

In today’s prayer, Valarie gets refreshingly honest about the frustration of watching old thoughts and habits resurface despite our best efforts. Even as a seasoned intercessor, she’s felt it — and she reminds us it’s part of the human plight, there to show us both how vulnerable we are and how powerful God’s Word is when we apply it. Some struggles keep repeating because our habits and thought patterns haven’t changed; we pray for transformation while holding on to the same mindset. She points to the power of the tongue — that death and life are in what we speak — and to the truth that the enemy never takes a break, so we can’t either. Anchored in Romans 12:2, “be transformed by the renewing of your mind,” she prays for lasting change instead of temporary inspiration, for the grace to replace lies with truth and fear with faith, and for prayer to become the place real transformation happens.
