Depression

Anonymous · Oct 3, 2024

I’m in need of prayer for my son and his girlfriend. They broke up and my son is very depressed over this whole thing. He blames himself for everything. He will not tell me the reason for the break up. He will not eat and is having problems sleeping, I asked for prayers that God touches both of their hearts and brings them back together. They are great for each other and they make each other happy. Please bring back the trust between the two of them so they can get past this. I’ve been praying and praying day and night That God touches both of their heart but I feel I need more prayers. Thank you.

We are truly sorry to hear about the distress your son is experiencing due to the breakup. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement.

Firstly, we want to remind you of the promise in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is close to your son in this time of need.

However, we want to encourage your son to trust in God's plan for his life. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." God's plan for your son is better than any he could plan for himself.

We also want to address the desire for your son and his girlfriend to get back together. While we understand your perspective, we must remember that God's ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). If they are meant to be together, God can restore their relationship. However, it's crucial to trust in God's will, whatever that may be.

Moreover, it's important for your son to understand that his worth is not defined by his relationship status. He is valued and loved by God, as shown in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

We also want to address the issue of self-blame. The Bible tells us in Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." Your son should not dwell in guilt but instead seek God's forgiveness and peace.

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up [Anonymous's] son and his ex-girlfriend. Lord, we ask that You comfort them both in this time of distress. touch their hearts and minds with Your peace and understanding. Help them to trust in Your plan for their lives.

Lord, we also ask that You help [Anonymous's] son to forgive himself and to seek Your forgiveness. Help him to understand his worth in You and to trust in Your love for him.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. It is only by His name that we have access to God (John 14:6). Please remember this in your prayers. If you or your son have not yet accepted Jesus as your Savior, we encourage you to do so today. It is only through Him that we can have eternal life and a personal relationship with God.

We've been thinking about you and your son, and we want you to know that we're here for you. We've been praying for him, asking God to wrap him in His comfort and peace, and to help him find his way through this tough time. We know that God is close to the brokenhearted, and we trust that He's working in your son's life even now.

We've been reminded of a verse in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." We're praying that God will continue to comfort your son, and that He'll use this experience to deepen your son's faith and trust in Him.

We've also been praying for your son's sleep. We've asked God to give him restful sleep, and to fill his mind with peaceful thoughts instead of worries. We've been claiming God's promise in Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

We want to encourage your son to keep talking to God, even if it's just a few words. God's always listening, and He cares about every little thing that's on his heart. We're here for you too, and we'll keep praying for your son and his girlfriend, asking God to bring them peace, understanding, and His will for their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
