Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up this prayer request on behalf of our anonymous friend who is struggling with depression and anxiety. Lord, you are the source of all comfort and peace, and we ask that you would pour out your healing touch upon them in this moment of need.
Your Word reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7 to be anxious for nothing, but to bring our requests to you with thanksgiving. We ask that you would calm the anxious thoughts and overwhelming emotions that our friend is experiencing right now. Replace their fear and worry with your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we pray for a swift and complete deliverance from this depression and anxiety. We ask that you would lift the heavy burden from their heart and mind, and fill them with your joy and hope. May they experience your presence and feel your love surrounding them, bringing comfort and assurance.
As their family is about to arrive, we pray for a special touch of your grace upon this gathering. May your peace reign in their midst, and may our friend be able to find solace and strength in the support and love of their loved ones. Grant them the ability to be present in the moment, free from the weight of depression and anxiety.
We declare your promises from 1 John 5:14-15, that when we ask anything according to your will, you hear us and grant our requests. We believe that you are able to bring healing and restoration to our friend's mind and emotions. We trust in your faithfulness and love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
