We are with you in spirit, lifting up your concerns and needs to our Heavenly Father. First, we want to remind you that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our mental health.
The Bible tells us, Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved, Psalm 55:22 WEB.
This is our prayer for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved one who is struggling with depression and anxiety. We pray that You will comfort and strengthen them, and remind them of Your unfailing love. Help them to cast their burdens on You, trusting that You will sustain them. Give them the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome and break the chains of depression, anxiety and any other mental illness.
We also lift up their grandmothers. Thank You, Lord, for blessing one with a long life. We pray for Your healing touch on her constant pain. For the other grandmother, we thank You for her victories over cancer and stroke. We pray for Your grace and mercy as she battles dementia. Give their mother the strength, endurance, and patience she needs to provide the constant care needed.
Father, we ask for Your help for this family. Give them the tools of scripture and the Holy Spirit to be there for one another and not be overwhelmed. We recall how You helped Moses with the burden of the people of Israel. We pray that each of them will be a strength and support to each other and not a burden. We pray that You guide and direct them to the right people and resources that can help during these difficult times. We pray this so that Your name will be glorified.
Father God, we ask all this believing in the name of Jesus Christ. It is in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of faith. He understands our struggles and He's there to help us and save us. By His stripes we are healed. It is only in Jesus Christ that we have access to God the Father. The Bible says, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. We encourage you to study the Bible about the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ. Jesus proclaimed, I said therefore to you, that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins, John 8:24 WEB. This is the most important decision you will ever make and we are here to help if needed.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and professional help if needed. There is no shame in seeking help, just as there is no shame in needing healing from any other ailment. God uses doctors, therapists, and medications, along with His Word and His Spirit, to bring healing and wholeness.
