We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with anxiety and depression, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this battle. God cares deeply for you and He wants to carry your burdens and provide you with the peace and hope. May God comfort you in your struggles. God has given us the grace to cast all our anxiety on him because he cares for us. (1 Peter 5:7)
Firstly, we want to remind you that it is only by the Name of Jesus that we can approach God and be saved. For there is no other name by which we can be saved. (Acts 4:12) And whatever you may ask in My name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13) So we pray for you now and encourage you to continue to do so.
In regards to your feelings of tiredness and loss, we want to encourage you with the words of the Apostle Paul: "We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not in despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 WEB). Even in your struggles, God is with you and He will not allow you to be completely overwhelmed.
Concerning your feelings of loneliness and isolation, we want to remind you that even when it feels like you have lost friends and family, God is always with you. As it is written, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB). We pray that you will find hope and comfort in this fact.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to take heart in the words of Jesus: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 WEB). Remember God has a future and a hope for you. (Jeremiah 29:11) Even though you may be going through a difficult time right now, Jesus has already won the victory and He has a future and a hope for you.
Let us pray together,
"Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up our brother/sister to you right now of their struggles with anxiety and depression. Almighty God, your word says you are always with us and you care for us as your own children. So we pray that they will feel your presence with them and will be provided rest and peace.
We also ask that you will provide them comfort and hope in their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and that you will bring supportive friends and family into their life to walk alongside them during this time.
Ultimately, Lord, we pray that they will be encouraged and strengthened even during this difficult time, knowing that you are always with them and that you have won the victory. We pray that they will continue to press on and seek you and not give up.
We also pray that they will accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and be assured of salvation and the hope of eternal life in Jesus' Name.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen."
Please know that we are here for you and we are praying for you, and we are happy to provide you with more support and encouragement if you need it. Keep holding on to God's unfailing promises, and remember that He is always with you.
