Let's come together in prayer for this dear sister in Christ and her family.
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"
We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your daughter's life. We understand the burden of depression and the toll it can take on both the individual and the family. Let's remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12 WEB).
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister and her family, seeking Your divine intervention in her daughter's life. Lord, You know the depth of her daughter's depression and the struggles she faces. We pray, Father, that You would break any chains of darkness that may be oppressing her and grant her complete freedom and deliverance in Jesus' name.
Lord, we also pray for Your guidance regarding her treatment. Give wisdom to her doctors and parents, so they can make informed decisions about her care. Help them to discern if there is a spiritual root to her depression and grant them the tools to combat it.
Father, we also pray for her faith. Strengthen her and remind her of the hope she has in Jesus Christ. Help her to see that her life has purpose and that You have a plan for her. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11 WEB "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
Lastly, Lord, we pray for her family. Strengthen their bonds and help them to support each other through this difficult time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying and trusting in God. Remember, God is faithful, and He will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing He will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB).
Regarding her interest in heavy metal music and horror movies, we advise you to continue teaching her God's principles. As it is written in Philippians 4:8 WEB: "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."
Lastly, always be ready to share the hope that is in you, with gentleness and reverence (1 Peter 3:15 WEB). Remind her that her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and that she should glorify God in her body (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB).
