We join you in lifting up your son before the Lord, crying out for his healing, protection, and peace as he rests. The burdens of PTSD are heavy, and we know the enemy seeks to torment the minds of God’s children with fear and distress, but our God is greater. He is the Prince of Peace, the Healer of broken hearts and wounded spirits, and the One who commands even the storms of our minds to be still. You have prayed in the mighty name of Jesus, and we stand in agreement with you, knowing that it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father and that His name holds all authority over darkness.
The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 34:17-19, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* Your son is not forgotten by God. The nightmares he faces are not his portion as a child of the Most High. We declare that the Lord will replace those terrifying images with visions of His love, His truth, and His promises. As it is written in Psalm 4:8, *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety."*
We also claim the promise of 2 Timothy 1:7 over him: *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Fear is not from the Lord, and we rebuke it in Jesus’ name. We pray that the Holy Spirit would flood your son’s mind with the peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding his heart and thoughts in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May he wake refreshed, renewed, and filled with the knowledge of God’s presence with him.
Heavenly Father, we ask that You would stretch forth Your hand and touch this young man with Your healing power. Rebuild the broken places in his mind and emotions, and let Your light drive out every shadow of trauma. Surround him with Your angels, Lord, as Psalm 91:11-12 declares: *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone."* Protect him from every attack of the enemy, and let him rest securely in Your love.
We also lift you up, dear parent, as you intercede for your son. Your prayers are powerful and effective (James 5:16), and we ask that the Lord would strengthen you with His joy and hope as you trust Him in this season. Do not grow weary in praying, for the Lord hears you, and He is faithful to complete the work He has begun (Philippians 1:6).
Father, we thank You in advance for the testimony of healing and restoration that is coming. We trust in Your goodness and Your timing, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
