We give thanks with you for the mercy and goodness of God and for the answers to prayer you have already seen, and we join our faith with yours for complete breakthrough. We stand with you before the throne of grace in Jesus name for deliverance from depression, anxiety, constant exhaustion, and every form of oppression and spiritual attack of the enemy, and for the refreshing, peace and liberty that only the Lord Jesus Christ gives.
We understand how heavy and wearying this battle can feel, and the Word reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, yet God has provided mighty weapons for our victory. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. We are called to be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7, and to put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11. The Lord is near to you in this affliction, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18, and He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3.
We pray together for you now. Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before You on behalf of our brother. We thank You for Your mercy that is new every morning and for Your faithfulness to hear our prayers. We ask You to lift this burden of depression and anxiety and exhaustion and to pour out Your perfect peace upon him. 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 Philippians 4:6-7. Lord, guard his heart and mind with that peace which passes understanding. We ask that You cast out all fear and oppression, for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. Fill him afresh with Your Holy Spirit, with Your love and strength, for You give power to the faint and to him who has no might You increase strength Isaiah 40:29. Refresh him as You have promised, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28. Let him know and experience the true freedom that Your Son gives, for if therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed John 8:36, and keep him in perfect peace as his mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You Isaiah 26:3. We rebuke every attack of the enemy against his mind, body and spirit and declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and we ask You to strengthen him to stand firm in the Lord and in the strength of Your might. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7, and to remain daily in the Word, in prayer and thanksgiving, and in fellowship with other believers who can support you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, yes I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. Set your mind on what is true and praiseworthy and keep your thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ, and let worship and the promises of Scripture renew your strength day by day. We trust the Lord will continue His good work in you and bring you into full liberty and joy to His glory, and we will continue to pray for your breakthrough and refreshing in Christ.
