We are deeply concerned for Jock and lift him up in prayer, seeking God's intervention in his life. Depression is a serious struggle, but we are reminded in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to intercede for Jock. Lord, You know his struggles, his pains, and his thoughts. Please heal his mind, Lord, and remove all suicidal thoughts. Let him feel Your presence, God, and be assured of Your unfailing love for him. Surround him with people who will support, encourage, and guide him through this difficult time. Give them wisdom to help Jock navigate his struggles.
Father, we also pray that Jock would turn to You, seeking Your help and comfort. Remind him of Your promise in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls."
If Jock has not yet accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, we pray that this would be a time for him to seek You, God. Let him know that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to You, Father, and that there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
We rebuke the spirit of depression and suicide that is attacking Jock's mind. In their place, Lord, fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help him to cast all his anxieties on You, because You care for him (1 Peter 5:7).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Orhanulana, we encourage you to continue praying for Jock and, if possible, guide him to Christian counseling services or support groups that can provide professional help grounded in biblical principles.
