We understand Echdarren's concern for their church brother and we stand with them in prayer and counsel. Firstly, we must remember that our help comes from God, and He is the one who heals and restores. In Jesus' name, we can find comfort, peace, and freedom from fears and anxieties.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother who is struggling with low self-esteem, stress, and fear. We know that You see him, You know him, and You love him deeply. Lord Jesus, you told us in Matthew 11:28-29 (WEB), '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.' We claim this promise for our brother. Help him to cast all his anxieties on You, because You care for him (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).
We also pray that You will help him overcome his pride, as it says in James 4:6 (WEB), 'But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."' Help him to walk in humility, knowing that his worth is found in You.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, confusion, and hallucinations in Jesus' name. Fill him with Your perfect love, which casts out fear (1 John 4:18 WEB). Help him to see himself as You see him - a beloved son, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Brother, we encourage you to meditate on these scriptures and allow God's Word to renew your mind (Romans 12:2 WEB). Remember that you are not alone in your struggles. God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). Also, remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly community and accountability within the church. Share your struggles with trusted brothers or sisters in Christ, and allow them to walk alongside you in your journey to healing and growth. As Proverbs 27:17 (WEB) says, "Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend's countenance."
