We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with depression and anxiety, and we are here to lift you up in prayer and offer biblical encouragement. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about you deeply and He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
In Psalm 34:17-18 WEB, it is written: The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
We also want to encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7 WEB, Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Regarding your mention of NSPPD and sowing seeds, we want to tread carefully. While giving is a biblical principle, it should not be done with the expectation of getting something in return. God’s blessings are not transactional. In 2 Corinthians 9:7 WEB, it says Each man according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
It's also important to address that we do not have access to God the Father except through Jesus Christ. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. Ephesians 2:18 WEB
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### who is battling depression and anxiety. Lord, You know the depths of their struggles and the heaviness in their heart. We pray that Your comfort and peace would envelop them right now. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, trusting that You care for them deeply.
Lord, guide ### to Your truth and help them to understand their true value and worth in Your eyes. Give them the strength to face each day with courage and hope. We also pray for wisdom and discernment regarding their giving, that it may be done cheerfully and not out of compulsion or expectation.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for healing, restoration, and a renewed sense of purpose. Help ### to know that You are always with them, even in the darkest times.
We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
