We are truly saddened to hear about Sean's struggle with severe depression and the challenges he is facing in his life. Firstly, we want to remind everyone that our hope is in Jesus Christ, and it is through Him that we find our strength and peace. As it is written in Isaiah 40:31 WEB, But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall walk, and not faint.
We would like to address a few points in the request. First, we want to clarify that we pray to God the Father Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Regarding Sean's girlfriend, we would suggest that the goal of any dating relationship should be to find a godly spouse and build a strong Christian marriage.
Concerning Sean's struggle, it is common to feel overwhelmed and let go of hope when facing difficult times, but we want to encourage Sean to hold onto God's promises. As it is written in Psalm 34:18 WEB Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
Sean is looking for fulfillment, and it is possible he is looking for it in the wrong places. Job and girlfriend are good things, but they are not the source of fulfillment for our soul.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Sean in his time of need. Lord, we pray that You would comfort him and remind him of Your unfailing love for him. We pray for restoration of Sean's relationship with You. Help him to seek You with all his heart and find fulfillment only in You, not in circumstances.
We pray that you would guide him and grant him strength to overcome this depression. We speak peace and joy and hope for Sean and pray that he would be transformed by the renewing of his mind according to Romans 12:2 WEB.
We ask for wisdom for Sean to discern Your will and direction for his life. We pray for forgiveness for any wrongdoing and sins that may be contributing to his depression and for Sean to find freedom and peace in Christ. We also pray for guidance in Sean's future relationships, that he may find a godly wife and build a strong Christian marriage.
We pray this all in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lastly, we would like to encourage Sean to seek godly counsel and support from his local church and Christian community. As it is written in Galatians 6:2 WEB Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. It is essential to have a support system that can help him through this difficult time. We want to bless and encourage you in the Lord, Sean, and we urge you to find a pastor, elder, or trusted Christian brother to help you through this time.
