Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up ### who is in deep distress and battling with depression. Lord, You know the depths of this pain and the struggles that are being faced. Your Word tells us in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We ask that Your presence be felt strongly by ###, providing comfort and peace in this time of need.
Father, we know that life can be overwhelming and the battles we face can feel insurmountable. In 1 Peter 5:7, You invite us to cast all our anxieties on You because You care for us. We pray that ### feels Your loving arms wrapped around, lifting the burdens and bringing a sense of hope and relief.
Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon ###'s mind, body, and spirit. As it is written in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," we claim this promise for ###. Bring clarity to the thoughts, and replace the darkness with Your light.
May the Holy Spirit fill ### with a sense of purpose and joy that surpasses all understanding. Help to find moments of happiness and to dwell on the positive things in life. Philippians 4:8 reminds us, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things." Guide ###’s thoughts towards these truths.
Lord, we rebuke any thoughts of suicide and declare life and hope over ###. In John 10:10, You said, "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." We pray for this abundant life to be realized in ###'s life, filled with Your peace and joy.
We trust in Your perfect plan and timing, Lord. Provide the support and resources needed to navigate through these challenging times. Surround ### with people who will offer love, understanding, and encouragement.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
