We are truly sorry to hear about your brother's condition and the passing of your father. We will stand with you in prayer and trust in the Lord's promise: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 WEB).
Firstly, it is so important to pray in the name of Jesus. As it says in the WEB Bible in John 14:6, 'Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' And in Acts 4:12, 'There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.'
In times of trouble, we should remember that God is always with us. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We can have hope and comfort in this promise.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is not well. We pray that You would heal him from his depression and break the chains of bondage that have held him captive. We know that You are close to the brokenhearted and that You hear our prayers.
Father God, we pray for his comfort and strength during this difficult time. We ask that You would surround him with Your love and fill him with Your peace. We pray that he would know that You are always with him and that You have a plan and a purpose for his life.
We also lift up our brother's father, thanking You for his life and the impact he had on those around him. We pray for comfort and peace for our brother and the rest of the family as they continue to grieve this loss.
Lord, please work in our brother's life and give him your grace to overcome. We pray this all in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the Lord help you find a local Christian counselor who can provide further guidance and support for your brother. Trust in the promises of God and know that we are here to support you in prayer. We encourage you to keep praying and trusting in the Lord, for He hears our prayers and will answer according to His will.
