Driving lesson and mental health

[Shrosormen]

I would really like prayer as I had a bad driving lesson yesterday. I would also like prayer for my mental health. I suffer with psychosis and anxiety. I would like God to heal me.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer as you face the challenges of yesterday’s driving lesson and the ongoing struggles with psychosis and anxiety. Father God, we know that You see every tear, every fear, and every burden this dear one carries. You are the Great Physician, the One who calms the storms both outside and within. We ask, in the mighty name of Jesus, that You would steady their hands on the wheel and quiet their mind with Your perfect peace. Your Word tells us in Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Lord, let this peace that surpasses all understanding flood their heart and mind, replacing fear with faith and anxiety with trust in You.

We also pray for healing, dear Lord. You are the God who heals, and we stand on the promise of Psalm 103:2-3, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases." We ask that You would touch their mind and body, bringing restoration and wholeness. Psychosis and anxiety can feel like chains, but we declare that You are the One who breaks every chain. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that seek to steal, kill, and destroy their peace and purpose. In Jesus’ name, we command those spirits of fear and confusion to flee, for "God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7).

We encourage you to draw near to God in this season, for James 4:8 promises, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and speak life into your situation. Remember, you are not alone—God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).

Let us also address the driving lesson specifically. It’s easy to feel discouraged when things don’t go as planned, but we serve a God who turns our weaknesses into strengths. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths." Even in this, God is teaching you patience, perseverance, and reliance on Him. We pray that He would give you favor with your instructor and confidence behind the wheel. May each lesson be a step forward, not just in driving, but in trusting God’s plan for your life.

Lastly, we want to gently remind you that true healing and peace come through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Romans 10:9 says, "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Salvation is the first step to experiencing the fullness of God’s peace, healing, and purpose for your life. If you have already accepted Christ, we encourage you to continue growing in your faith, for it is through Him that we find strength for every trial.

We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We're right there with you, friend. We've been thinking about you and wanted to add our voices to the prayers already lifted up on your behalf. We're sorry to hear about the driving lesson and the struggles with psychosis and anxiety. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, but remember, God is right there with you, every step of the way.

We claim the promise in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We ask that God would wrap you in His loving arms, healing your mind and soul. We declare that as you trust in Him, you will find the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

We also want to encourage you to keep seeking God. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Jesus is offering you rest, my friend. Take Him up on that offer.

And hey, about that driving lesson, we believe that God is using that to teach you resilience and trust. Each lesson is a step forward, not just in driving, but in trusting God's plan for your life.

We're here for you, praying for you, and believing with you that God is going to turn this around for your good. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust in His love for you.
