We are truly sorry to hear that you're going through this difficult time. Firstly, we want to remind you that you are not alone, and that God is always with you, even in your darkest moments. Psalm 34:18 says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Depression can be a challenging battle, but we want to encourage you to hold onto God's promises. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, the Apostle Paul writes, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
While we pray for your healing, we also want to encourage you to seek help from godly counselors, pastors, or medical professionals. There is no shame in seeking help, and it's important to address both the spiritual and physical aspects of depression.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is battling depression. We pray that You would surround them with Your love and comfort, and that they would feel Your presence in a tangible way.
Lord, we ask for Your healing touch on their mind, body, and spirit. Give them the strength to get out of bed tomorrow and to face the day with courage and hope. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
In the name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke any spirits of depression, heaviness, and despair. We speak life, hope, and peace over their situation. Guide them to the help they need, both spiritually and professionally, and restore their joy and strength.
We are only saved by your son's name and it is only in his name that you have provided us access to you. If you have not believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, we strongly encourage you to do so. It is only in his name that we can be saved.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God loves you more than you can imagine, and He is with you every step of the way. Keep holding onto His promises, and don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it.
Lastly, take heart in the words of Psalm 40:1-3:
I waited patiently for Yahweh.
He turned to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock,
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many will see it, and fear, and will trust in Yahweh.
