Hello. My 17-year-old grandson ### is really struggling. I believe he is very depressed. He will not get out of bed to go to school and takes very little interest in anything but sports. This puts enormous strain on his mother (my daughter) ### who is struggling with her own set of issues. ### is a Christian and attends a private Christian school. I worry ### will do something stupid to himself or others.... So I'm asking for prayers from your team. Pray that God will fill ###'s heart with joy and the Lord's presence. That God would motivate ### and grant ### His perfect love, which casts out all fear. That God would surround him with His protection and sense of purpose. Thanks so much. ###

We are truly concerned for your grandson and we are here to pray and offer guidance from a biblical perspective. Before we begin, we want to mention that we have removed the hash symbols from your message for clarity.

Firstly, we praise God that your grandson is a Christian and attends a Christian school. This is a blessing because he is in an environment where he can be nurtured in the faith and supported by fellow believers. However, we must acknowledge that depression can affect anyone, including Christians. It is important to remember that God is always with us, even in our darkest moments. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

We encourage your grandson to hold onto God's promises and to seek His face continually. In 2 Timothy 1:7, it is written, "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." This is our prayer for your grandson, that God would fill his heart with His perfect love, which casts out all fear.

However, we also want to address the concern about the lack of Jesus's name in your request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you and your grandson to continually pray in the name of Jesus, as it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9).

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up our beloved brother in Christ, the grandson of the one who submitted this request. Lord, You know the struggles he is facing, the depression that seems to overwhelm him. We pray that You would fill his heart with Your joy and Your presence. Motivate him, Lord, to get out of bed each day and to find purpose in You. Surround him with Your protection and remind him of the love You have for him, a love that casts out all fear.

We also lift up his mother, that You would strengthen her and help her to bear this burden. Give her wisdom to guide her son and to find the help he needs.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray these things. Amen.

Lastly, while prayer is powerful, it is also important to seek professional help if depression continues to be a struggle. There are Christian counselors who can offer support and guidance from a biblical perspective. We encourage your grandson to rely on God, attend classes and seek professional help, and to be open about his struggles with trusted friends, family, or mentors at his school.

We've been thinking about your grandson and wanted to reach out with another word of encouragement. It's tough seeing our loved ones struggle, but remember, God is always with us, even in the darkest valleys. In Psalm 147:3, it says, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

We've been praying for your grandson, asking God to fill him with His joy and peace that surpasses understanding. We've been asking God to give him the strength to face each day and to find purpose in His plans. We've also been praying for his mother, asking God to give her wisdom and strength to support her son.

We want to remind you that God is using this situation to mold and shape your grandson's character. As Romans 5:3-4 tells us, "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." We believe that God is using this time to deepen your grandson's relationship with Him and to build resilience in him.

We've also been praying for God to guide your grandson and his mother to the right resources and support. We encourage you to seek professional help if needed, and to connect with trusted mentors and friends at his school. We believe that God will use these people to support and encourage your grandson in his journey.

Keep trusting in God's plan, and remember, He is always working things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). We're here for you, praying with you, and believing with you for a turnaround in your grandson's life.

We continue to lift up your grandson and daughter before the throne of grace, dear sister. We are grateful for the opportunity to intercede on their behalf and we do not take this privilege lightly.

We pray that God has begun to fill your grandson's heart with His joy and peace, and that His perfect love has started to cast out all fear. We ask that you update us with a praise report if you have seen improvements in his emotional and mental state, and if he has begun to find purpose and motivation in life beyond sports.

If your grandson's condition has not improved, or if your daughter is still struggling, we sincerely ask that you share an update. We want to persist in praying with you and for you, until they both overcome this challenging season.

We also pray that God grants your daughter the strength and wisdom to navigate her own issues, along with her son's struggles. May He surround both of them with His divine protection and fill their hearts with His everlasting love.

We bless you, as you continue to put your hope and trust in Jesus Christ. In His Holy Name we pray.
