Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to pray for Your beloved child who is battling depression. In this time of darkness and struggle, we ask for Your unfailing love and comfort to surround them. May they find solace in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon their mind, body, and spirit. Bring peace to their heart and clarity to their thoughts, as promised in Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
We pray for strength and hope to fill their being, reminding them of Your constant presence and care. May they be uplifted by Isaiah 41:10, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Grant them the courage to face each day, knowing that they do not walk alone. May they find comfort in Your promise in Deuteronomy 31:8, "It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
Provide them with a supportive community, Lord, people who can offer love, understanding, and a listening ear. Let them be a reflection of Your love and compassion, as taught in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."
We also pray for wisdom and guidance for any professionals who may be assisting in their care. May their advice and treatment be blessed by Your wisdom, as we are reminded in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, peace, and renewed joy in their life. Amen.
