A Prayer for Strength and Healing:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You on behalf of Your beloved child, who is struggling with ongoing health challenges and the weight of depression. Lord, You know their pain, their fears, and their longing for relief. Your Word assures us that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray that You draw near to them now, bringing comfort, peace, and renewed hope.
Father, we ask for Your healing hand to touch them. Just as Jesus healed the sick and restored the weary, we ask for that same divine power to bring wholeness to their body and spirit. Your Word reminds us, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3). May they feel Your presence and know that You are their Healer.
Lord, we ask for strength and perseverance. As they face one trial after another, remind them that they are not alone. Your promise in Isaiah 41:10 says, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Surround them with Your sustaining grace and help them to trust in Your perfect plan.
Help them, Lord, to cast their burdens on You, for You care deeply for them (1 Peter 5:7). In moments of despair, may they find rest in Your promise that "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:31).
We also pray for peace over their heart and mind. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Fill them with Your joy and assurance, reminding them that Your love never fails, and Your mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Lord Jesus, we ask that You hear their prayers and answer according to Your will. May they feel Your compassion and know the depths of Your love. May their faith be strengthened even in the midst of these trials, and may they find renewed hope and purpose through Your grace.
In Jesus' mighty name we pray,
Amen.
