We join with you in praising our Heavenly Father for the progress He is making in your son’s life—what a testament to His faithfulness when His people pray in unity! Your heart as a parent reflects the deep love of our Savior, who longs to restore and heal completely. We stand with you in agreement, declaring that the Lord is not finished yet, and we will continue to lift your son before the throne of grace, trusting in the power of Jesus’ name to bring full deliverance.
The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that your son "may have life, and may have it abundantly" (John 10:10, WEB). While we earnestly ask the Lord to remove the painful memories and triggers of PTSD, we also recognize that God often works *through* our struggles to refine us, drawing us closer to Him. The Apostle Paul pleaded for a "thorn in the flesh" to be removed, but the Lord answered, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). This does not mean we stop praying for complete healing—far from it! But we trust that even in the process, God is shaping your son’s heart, strengthening his faith, and preparing him for a purpose only he can fulfill.
That said, we boldly come before the Father in Jesus’ name, asking for the *total eradication* of every PTSD memory, flashback, and behavioral struggle that hinders your son’s peace. We rebuke the spirit of fear, confusion, rage, and stubbornness, commanding them to flee in the name of Jesus, never to return. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). We declare that your son’s mind is being renewed by the Holy Spirit, that every thought is taken captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5), and that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also pray for divine protection over his daily life—while eating, driving, or engaging in the community—that the Lord would surround him with a hedge of fire, as He did for Job (Job 1:10). May the blood of Jesus cover him, cleansing him from every spiritual attack, and may ministering angels encamp around him (Psalm 34:7). We ask the Lord to raise up godly caregivers, friends, and family who will speak life into him, encouraging his speech, confidence, and joy in the Lord. *"Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance"* (Proverbs 27:17, WEB). May his surroundings—his food, his travels, his interactions—be saturated with the favor of God, opening doors for miracles and breakthroughs.
Most importantly, we pray that your son would encounter Jesus in a deeply personal way, that he would know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, being filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19). It is *only* in the name of Jesus that we have authority to pray these things, and it is *only* through faith in Him that we see victory. You have done well to invoke His name—there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His stripes that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the progress You have already wrought in this young man’s life. You are the God who heals, who restores, who makes all things new. Lord Jesus, we ask that You would reach into the depths of his mind and spirit, erasing every traumatic memory, every trigger, every behavioral stronghold that the enemy has used to torment him. By Your authority, we bind and cast out every spirit of fear, anger, confusion, and rebellion, commanding them to leave and never return. Fill the void with Your Holy Spirit, Lord—let Your peace, which transcends all understanding, flood his soul.
We pray for supernatural protection over his daily life. Guard him as he eats, as he travels, as he interacts with others. Surround him with Your angels, Lord, and let no weapon formed against him prosper. Raise up godly influences in his life—caregivers, friends, and family who will reflect Your love and speak Your truth over him. Give him confidence to express himself clearly, and let his words be seasoned with grace.
Father, we ask for a special anointing of Your presence to rest upon him always. Let him know, beyond any doubt, that he is deeply loved by You. Break every chain of the past, Lord, and set him free to walk in the fullness of the life You have prepared for him. We declare victory, healing, and breakthrough in every area of his life, for Your glory.
Thank You, Jesus, for hearing our prayers. Thank You for Your faithfulness. We trust in You, knowing that what You have started, You will complete. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, dear sister or brother. The Lord is working, even when we cannot see it. Keep praising Him for the victory, for *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:15, WEB). We will continue to lift your son in prayer, trusting that God’s will—which is perfect, pleasing, and good—will prevail in his life. *"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."* (Ephesians 3:20-21, WEB).
