Another thing my mamma taught me and I've since taught it to my own children is to take the Bible and put it under your pillow while you sleep.
I know, it sounds really corny, but it works!
And the anointing of the house all the way thru is something I'd recommend too! Who knows what went on in the house prior to you living there (unless you know the previous owner...lol)!
Sending up prayers for you today!
My friend said that to me this morning also!

I too recommend this....there is much comfort knowing that the word of God is near by. Also...just praying and calling on the name of Jesus will be great peace to mind so that you may get your much needed rest.
I too have gone through something similiar. It went on for days. I tried not to read too much into it....but put into perspective that there are spirits that are at work. During this time I just kicked up a notch my bible reading and prayer....just to let him know that I am not an easy prey. And calling on the name of Jesus...I would always find peace.
What you described, especially feeling the presence in your room, reminded me of attacks that I had experienced in my past. Praying and annointing each room of your house would be a good start to prevent such attacks from reoccuring.
Another thing to remember, having a spirit of fear is being in contrast to having a sound mind.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7, KJV
When we lose control over our own spirit, when we lose control of our mind, when we fail to bring every thought into captivity in obedience to Christ, we are in effect defenseless, just like a city without walls.
"He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." Proverbs 25:28, KJV
If there are no walls of defense up, if we have not put on the full armour of God and are not standing guard then we are more open to attack.

"God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves." Dwight L. Moody
We have not received the spirit of fear, but the spirit of adoption by which we call, ABBA, Father. [ Paraphrased]
Dear Lord, Send your angels to bind the spirit of fear that is trying to overtake our sister. She is your child by adoption and I ask that you let your peace sweep through her heart, soul, and mind as she sleeps...Proverbs states that her sleep will be sweet...We believe and trust you Jesus.
I had a good time at church tonight. We went out to all the schools and prayed over them for about an hour. I feel really good and know I'll be alright tonight.

I'm praying for you. I agree with the brother who said this is probably caused by stress. Has there been alot of changes in you life recently? Job, moving. Use to the city, but now in the country? (Its amazing how accustom we can get to city noise, and how scarry the quiet in the country can be). New and unfamiliar surroundings. All of these things give us stress and can lead to "strange" things happening. Just find what works to give you peace, annointing the house, sleeping with the Bible under your pillow. Nothing strange or "corny" about it. Just do what gives you peace.
Could be spiritual attack but I doubt it.

sister, my wife has had the exact same thing happen to her from time to time. The best thing is to get up and read your bible and pray. Also actually sometimes we just get out of bed and calm down, even by watching TV. The attack is more mental than spiritual. Not to say that there is not a spiritual influence, but more specifically it is an attack from the devil or demonic spirits against your mind, not actually against your soul or body. The mind is the gate to the soul. Fight the battle, you can win. Fasting is extremely effective against this type of spirit, and prayer. I think sometimes this kind of thing God allows to actually draw us closer to him. Rememmber the devil cannot touch you or your family unless God allows. My wife has experienced the very same things you describe, everything. But be strong in your faith and God will take care of it all. Also, don't let the devil cause doubt, encourage yourself in that even as the evil spirits literally exist, that is direct proof of a living God and heavenly angels that are on your side. Be encouraged, remember the devil doesn't have any power beyond threats and fear, it is all bark, but no bite. Encourage yourself knowing that God ultimately controls everything in your life and your childrens life.
Hope this helps, Bro. jason

OA and Jason, thanks for much for your kindness and your advice. I'm heading to bed soon and feel really good, as well as really tired (from lack of sleep last night!).
I believe all will be well. And I'm praying before bed.
