We are truly sorry to hear about the trial your son is currently facing. Mental health is a serious concern, but we are thankful that he is getting the help he needs in the hospital.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is always with us, even in our darkest hours. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We can trust that God is close to your son right now, working in his life and ministering to his spirit.
However, we want to address that prayer requests should be made in faith, believing in the power of God and in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His stripes that we are healed. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together for your son in Jesus' name:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our dear brother who is going through this mental health trial. We thank You that he is not a stranger to Your love and kindness, and we ask that You would continue to draw near to him during this time.
Father, we ask that You would grant him healing, clarity, and calm.
Comfort and guide the medical team and family members.
Please remove any thoughts that are not from You, and replace them with Your truth, Your love, and Your peace.
Help him to trust in You with all his heart, and lean not on his own understanding.
Lord, we also pray for his family. Give them strength, wisdom, and patience as they support their loved one through this time. Help them to trust in You and to rest in Your sovereignty.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and trusting in God.
Remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. He is working all things together for good, even when we cannot see it.
Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
