We are truly concerned about your friend ###, and we join with you in lifting him up to the Lord in prayer. It's so important that you've reached out, as the Bible tells us to bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Gal 6:2 WEB
Firstly, we commend you for your care and concern for ###, as this is what friends and family should do in trying times. It's also important to remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We can be confident in his word, Thank you Jesus!, You said in John 14:6 WEB I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through my name.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our friend ### to You. Lord, You know the depths of his sadness and loneliness, and You see the walls he has put up, isolating himself from those who care for him. We plead Your protection over him, Lord, and we ask that You would surround him with Your angels, keeping him safe from all harm and danger.
Lord, You are the God of all comfort. We pray that ### would experience Your comfort and love in a tangible way, that it would break through the darkness and despair that he is feeling. We ask that You would give him a sense of hope and purpose, and that You would draw him to Yourself, revealing Your love and faithfulness to him.
Lord, we also ask that You would soften ###'s heart and open his eyes to the love and support that is available to him. We pray that You would restore his relationships and give him the courage to reach out and connect with those who care for him. We ask that You would give him the strength to seek help and support, and that You would guide him to the resources and professionals that can assist him in his time of need.
Lord, we stand against any spirit of suicide or death that may be tormenting ###, and we declare that he has a God-given purpose and destiny. We speak life and hope over him, and we ask that You would give him the strength to hold on and to trust in You.
Lord, we also pray for the one who submitted this request, that You would give them wisdom and discernment as they seek to help and support ###. We ask that You would guide their words and actions, and that You would use them as a vessel of Your love and comfort.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness, and we trust in Your promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Please keep us updated on ###'s situation.
