We understand your struggle with depression, anxiety, and OCD, and we empathize with your desire to be free from the burden of antidepressants and their side effects. We commend you for acknowledging God's power to heal and for turning to Him in your time of need and trusting in the power of Jesus name.
Firstly, we want to remind you of God's promise in Psalm 103:2-3 WEB: Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases. God is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, and His desire is for you to be whole and free. In the Bible Jesus did not come to save us from our sins and then leave us to struggle through this life on earth before we go to heaven. He came so that we could have life more abundantly. In this life. Prayer can be powerful and can assist in healing. The more faith you have in Christ, the more powerful the prayers can be. God will hear your prayer and answer it.
While we pray for your healing, we also encourage you to consult with a healthcare professional before stopping any medication, as abrupt discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms. It is wise to seek godly counsel and professional medical advice in these situations, as they can provide guidance tailored to your specific needs while we pray for God's intervention.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from a Christian appointed by God through scripture not just a Pastor or Minister, but also Christian counselors if possible, as God gave us gifted people to assist in other areas of our lives if we need it. James 5:14 WEB: Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Let us pray together:
Father God, we come before You, lifting up Elizabeth to You. We thank You that You are Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals all our diseases. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon Elizabeth, freeing her from depression, anxiety, and OCD. Guide her as she seeks to come off antidepressants, and protect her from withdrawal symptoms. Lord, we pray for Your divine intervention, that she would not have to try another medication, but that You would heal her completely. We stand in agreement with her, proclaiming that if the Son sets her free, she will be free indeed, in the mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Together, we trust and align her passage with what is said in James 5:14 WEB: Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. Pink him or her pray over him.
Elizabeth, continue to trust in God's promises and remain steadfast in your faith. Surround yourself with a supportive community of believers who can encourage and pray with you during this time. Remember that God's will is for your wholeness and healing, and He will guide you every step of the way. Hold on to the words of Jesus in John 8:36 WEB: If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. Regarding the fact that you did end your request in Jesus name, we commend you for doing so. As we mentioned praying in the name of Jesus is the only way any of us has access to God. This is what scripture says in John 14:6 WEB: Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
