Justin, we understand that you're going through a challenging time with PTSD symptoms and disturbing experiences. We're here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, we commend you for reaching out and acknowledging Jesus in your request. It's important to remember that our help comes from the Lord, and it is by the name of Jesus that you have been saved and can approach God the Father in prayer. As it says, For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:13 WEB)
Regarding your dream and the laughter you heard, remember God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB) Continue to trust in Him and resist any thoughts or voices that do not align with God's peace and truth.
Fasting is a good discipline, but it is not a guarantee for removing all symptoms. It is one way to draw closer to God and seek His will. It's important to remember that God desires mercy, not sacrifice. Jesus teaches that if you had known what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, you wouldn't have condemned the guiltless. (Matthew 12:7 WEB) Continue in your faith and be encouraged by this.
For dealing with PTSD, remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1 WEB) Turn to Him in your distress. It may also be helpful to seek support from fellow believers, wise counselors, and professionals who can assist you with these symptoms.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for being Justin's refuge and strength. We bring his symptoms and struggles before Your throne of grace. Please comfort him, and guide him, According to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man. (Ephesians 3:16 WEB) Help him to cast all his anxieties on You, because You care for him. (1 Peter 5:7 WEB) In Your name, Jesus, we rebuke any disturbing thoughts or voices that are not from You. Surround Justin with Your peace and heal his mind and body. Guide him to the right support and resources to manage his PTSD symptoms.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9 WEB) Keep trusting in Him, and don't hesitate to reach out for support from fellow believers and professionals.
