We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious son who is battling the deep wounds of PTSD. Father God, we ask for Your mighty hand of healing to rest upon him—body, mind, and spirit. The nightmares that plague his sleep are not from You, Lord, for You give Your beloved rest (Psalm 127:2). We rebuke the spirits of fear and trauma in the name of Jesus Christ, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Lord, we pray that You would surround him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let Your presence be a shield around him as he sleeps, filling his dreams with Your love, light, and the comfort of Your promises. Remind him that You are the God who heals (Exodus 15:26) and that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). May he find refuge in You, the Rock that is higher than he (Psalm 61:2).
We also pray for protection over his life, Lord. Guard his heart and mind from the enemy’s attacks, for we know that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that he may have life abundantly (John 10:10). Cover him with the blood of Jesus and station Your angels around him to minister to his needs (Psalm 91:11).
Father, we ask that You would strengthen this family as they walk through this trial. Give them wisdom, patience, and unwavering faith in Your goodness. Remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), even when the path is dark.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Healer, Protector, and Prince of Peace, we pray. Amen.
