We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer for the deep struggles you are facing. The battles in your mind, the fear of losing your job, the longing for connection, and the overwhelming thoughts of despair are not to be carried alone—our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). First, we must address something critical: you mentioned thoughts of harming yourself or others. These are not just intrusive thoughts; they are urgent warnings that you need immediate help. Suicide and violence are not the answer—they are lies from the enemy, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But Jesus came to give you life, and life abundantly. Please reach out to a trusted believer, a pastor, or a mental health professional *right now*. You are not beyond hope, and God has a purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus, and we must emphasize that there is *no other name* under heaven by which we are saved or through which we can approach God (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9). Without faith in Christ, prayers are empty words—but with Him, you have direct access to the Father, who hears and answers.
Now, let us pray for you in the mighty name of Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul to You, knowing that You are the God of all comfort and the Prince of Peace. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear, confusion, and despair that is tormenting our brother/sister. Your Word says that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We command every intrusive, ungodly thought to flee in Jesus’ name. Fill their mind with Your truth, Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and the assurance that You are sovereign over their life.
Father, we pray for divine protection over their job. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. If it is Your will, soften the hearts of their employers and grant them favor. Give them wisdom, clarity, and the ability to perform their duties with excellence. Remind them that their worth is not in their job but in Christ alone (Colossians 3:23-24). If this job is not part of Your plan, open doors no man can shut and provide for them in ways they cannot imagine.
Lord, we also lift up their longing for connection. You created us for relationship—first with You, and then with others. If there is someone You have ordained to reach out to them, we ask that You move in that person’s heart to make contact in a way that brings glory to You. But Father, we also pray that their ultimate satisfaction would be found in You alone. Human relationships will fail, but You never will (Psalm 73:26).
Most urgently, we plead the blood of Jesus over their mind and emotions. Satan is a liar, and he wants to destroy them—but You, Lord, have already won the victory. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Bind the spirit of suicide and violence in Jesus’ name. Replace their despair with hope, their darkness with Your light (John 8:12). Remind them that You have plans to prosper them, not to harm them (Jeremiah 29:11).
Father, if they do not know You, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Open their eyes to see Jesus as their Savior. Let them turn from sin and surrender their life to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter and Guide.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness, Your power, and Your love. May Your will be done in their life, and may they experience Your peace that guards their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Beloved, we implore you: *do not wait* to seek help. Call a crisis hotline, confide in a pastor, or go to the nearest emergency room if you are in immediate danger. You are not alone—God is with you, and He has placed people in your life to walk with you through this. Cling to His promises: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). *"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7).
If you are unsure of your salvation, cry out to Jesus now. Repent of your sins, ask Him to be your Lord, and trust in His finished work on the cross. He died so you could live—*truly* live. Then, surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. Read God’s Word daily, especially Psalms and the Gospels, to renew your mind (Romans 12:2).
You are loved. You are valued. And with God, there is *always* hope.
