We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious child of God who is battling the deep wounds of PTSD. Father, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). We ask for Your divine touch upon this young man, that You would bring restoration to his mind, body, and spirit. Lord, we rebuke the spirits of fear, anxiety, and trauma in the mighty name of Jesus, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We pray for Your hedge of protection to surround him, both day and night. Shield him from the enemy’s attacks, and let Your angels encamp around him, guarding him in all his ways (Psalm 91:11). Heavenly Father, we ask that You would quiet his mind and bring him peaceful, restorative sleep. Replace the nightmares with dreams of Your love, Your peace, and Your presence. Let him wake refreshed, knowing that You are with him, that You are his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Father, we also lift up the one who prays for him. Strengthen their faith and fill them with Your peace as they intercede on his behalf. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who have a contrite spirit (Psalm 34:18). Help them to trust in Your timing and Your perfect will, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28).
Lord, we declare that this son is not defined by his past or his struggles. He is a new creation in Christ, and the old has passed away—behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). We speak life, healing, and wholeness over him. May he experience Your love in a tangible way, drawing him closer to You with each passing day.
We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through His sacrifice that we have access to You, Father, and it is by His blood that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We thank You for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to answer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
