Alma, we empathize with your struggle against anxiety and depression, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's deliverance and healing. We commend you for recognizing that this battle is both spiritual and physical, and we agree that it requires divine intervention.
Firstly, we are glad that you have mentioned the name of Jesus, as it is through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). The Bible tells us to cast all our anxieties on Him, because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). We also find comfort in the fact that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister Alma. Lord, You know the battles she's been facing, the anxiety and depression that have been plaguing her. We ask for Your divine intervention, Lord. Deliver her from these attacks, heal her both spiritually and physically. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7, WEB). Strengthen her faith, Lord, and help her to trust in You completely. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Alma, we encourage you to continually meditate on God's Word, especially the promises that speak directly to your situation. Remember, God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Keep trusting in Him, and He will see you through this difficult time.
Lastly, we advise you to seek godly counsel and support. This could be from your pastor, a mature Christian friend, or a professional counselor who can provide you with practical steps to manage and overcome these struggles. Remember, there is no shame in seeking help, especially when it can aid in your healing process.
Stand firm in your faith, Alma. God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5, WEB).
