Heavenly Father,
We lift up Tom to You, trusting in Your love, wisdom, and guidance during this challenging time. Lord, You see his heart, his frustrations, and his desire to receive the right treatment for his mental health. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Be near to him now, Father, and bring comfort and assurance to his soul.
Peace Amidst Frustration
Lord, we ask for Your peace to calm Tom’s heart and mind. As he navigates this situation with the mental health providers, we ask that You replace his anger with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Help him to trust in Your plan, even when circumstances feel overwhelming, and remind him of Your promise in Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You."
Guidance for the Right Treatment
Father, we pray for clarity and wisdom for the medical professionals handling Tom’s care. If the current medication is not right for him, we ask that You move their hearts and minds to consider a different path. Lord, Your Word says in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Direct the paths of both Tom and the doctors toward a solution that will bring healing and peace.
Strength and Patience
Father, we ask for patience and strength for Tom as he waits for answers and resolution. Remind him that You are working behind the scenes for his good, as promised in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Encourage him to trust in Your timing and Your faithfulness.
Renewed Hope and Healing
Lord, restore hope to Tom’s heart as he navigates this process. Remind him that his identity and worth are found in You, and that You are the ultimate healer of both mind and body. Your Word in Psalm 103:2-3 declares, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases." Bring healing to his mental health, peace to his mind, and wholeness to his spirit.
Thanksgiving for Your Faithfulness
We thank You, Lord, for Your presence in Tom’s life and for the way You care for every detail of his struggles. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." May Tom rest in this truth, knowing that You are holding him close through every trial.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray,
Amen.
