We are truly sorry to hear that you've been in a dark place for so long, but we are glad you've reached out for prayer and support. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is always there for you, even in the darkest of times. As it is written in the WEB, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39) Even if you don't feel His presence, He is always with you.
However, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times" (1 Timothy 2:5-6). If you believe in Jesus Christ and confess with your mouth that He is Lord, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). We encourage you to call on Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
We rebuke the darkness that has kept you away from the light of God. As it is written, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
Let us pray together for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has been in a dark place for so long. Lord, we ask that You shine Your light into their heart and life, and draw them close to You. Help them to feel Your embrace and know that You are always with them. We rebuke the spirit of darkness and despair, and we ask You to fill them with Your hope, peace, and joy.
Lord, we ask that You strengthen their faith and help them to trust in You completely. We pray for whatever is causing the darkness in their life to be revealed and resolved. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ who has sacrificed his life for us, and it is only by his name we can be saved. We don't want to assume you know Jesus Christ so we will ask for your believing in Jesus Christ, confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised Him from the Dead. Only by believing in Jesus Christ can we be saved. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Remember, God loves you and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Hold on to His promises and trust in Him. As it is written, "Why are you in despair, O my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, my salvation and my God." (Psalm 42:5-6)
