We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles your son is facing, and we want to lift him up in prayer with you. Let's remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB).
Firstly, we want to encourage you to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). It's crucial to seek God's will in this situation and trust that He has a plan.
Regarding your son's depression, we want to remind you that God promises to be close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Let's pray that your son will feel God's presence and find comfort in Him.
In light of his potential job loss, let's remember that God provides for His children. As it is written, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19, WEB).
However, we want to gently remind you that the concern about him harming himself should be taken seriously. It's important to seek professional help and guidance for his mental health, alongside our prayers.
In your request, you didn't mention praying in Jesus' name. We want to remind you that Jesus said, "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:14, WEB). It's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up the son of this concerned parent. Lord, we ask for Your healing hand to touch him, to comfort him in his depression, and to provide for his needs according to Your riches in glory. Guide him to professional help if needed, and surround him with Your love and peace. Give his mother wisdom and strength to support him, and help them both to trust in You completely. May this situation draw them closer to You, Lord. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
