yes always in the name of Jesus to our throne of GodWe are truly sorry to hear about ###'s struggle with depression and dark thoughts. We stand with you in prayer and believe that God's power is greater than any illness or spiritual attack.
Firstly, we need to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 WEB)
We should put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB)
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### who is battling depression and dark thoughts. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You heal ### completely from this illness. Rebuke the enemy and his attempts to steal, kill, and destroy ###'s life. Surround ### with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and fill his mind with Your truth and light. Give him the strength to put on the whole armor of God daily and to stand firm against the wiles of the devil. Guide him to seek You first and to trust in Your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray for ###'s complete healing and restoration.
###, we encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7 WEB) Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8 WEB) Seek God with all your heart, and trust in His promises. Remember that the Lord is your shepherd and will lead you through the darkest of times. (Psalm 23)
Remember that the Psalmist struggled with the same issues. Psalm 42:11 WEB Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God. And, Psalm 43:5 WEB Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
Lastly, we were concerned that the name of Jesus Christ was not directly mentioned in the request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God's throne of grace. (Hebrews 4:16 WEB) There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is the name above all names. (Philippians 2:9 WEB) For there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)
Therefore, we urge everyone to put their faith in Jesus Christ and to call upon His name in times of need. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household. (Acts 16:31 WEB) Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 WEB)
