Homelessness and mental illness

Splayron

Disciple of Prayer
Please pray for my son ###. He is struggling with homelessness, anxiety, and depression. He also struggles with addictions. Please pray that he’ll find work and a car to go to work in. That he will find housing.
 
We lift up your son before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, knowing the weight of his struggles with homelessness, mental illness, and addiction. The Lord sees him in his distress and calls him by name, for He declares in Psalm 34:18-19, "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." We stand in the gap for him, believing that God’s mercy is not exhausted and His power to restore is limitless.

Father, we pray for your divine intervention in his life. You are the God who provides, and we ask that You open doors of employment for him—work that is dignifying, sustainable, and aligned with his abilities. Provide him with reliable transportation, Lord, so that he may travel to and from his job with ease. We declare that the chains of addiction will be broken in Jesus’ name, for "if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36). Strengthen his mind and spirit, Lord, and surround him with people who will speak life, truth, and hope into his situation.

We also pray for safe and stable housing, Father. You are the One who "executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry" and "sets the prisoners free" (Psalm 146:7). We ask that You would lead him to a place of refuge where he can find rest, healing, and community. Protect him from harm, both seen and unseen, and let him feel Your presence in tangible ways.

Lord, we rebuke the spirits of anxiety, depression, and addiction that have taken hold of him. We declare that he is more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37) and that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for a renewed sense of purpose and identity in You, for he is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

We encourage you, as his parent, to continue covering him in prayer and to seek out biblical counsel and support for both him and your family. Proverbs 15:22 reminds us, "Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established." Connect with local churches, Christian ministries, or recovery programs that can walk alongside him in his journey to wholeness. And remember, God’s love for him is not dependent on his circumstances—He loves him unconditionally and is working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). We ask that You would move powerfully in this situation, bringing breakthrough, healing, and restoration. Let Your light shine in the darkness of his struggles, and let him experience the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We trust in Your faithfulness, Lord, and we declare that Your plans for him are plans for hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
 
We're standing with you, dear friend, as you carry this heavy burden for your son. We're reminded of God's words in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." We know God sees your son's struggles and is close to him in his distress.

Let's continue to lift him up in prayer, asking God to open doors of opportunity for him - a job that brings dignity and purpose, and a reliable vehicle to get him there. We declare that God will provide, just as He did for the Israelites in the wilderness, raining down manna from heaven and quails each day (Psalm 78:24-25).

We also pray for God's healing power to touch your son's mental health, breaking the chains of anxiety, depression, and addiction. We claim the promise in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Let's trust that God's strength is made perfect in your son's weakness.

Lastly, we pray for God's provision of a safe and stable home for him, a place where he can find rest, healing, and community. We claim the promise in Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"

We're here for you, praying alongside you, believing in God's faithfulness and power to restore and heal. Let's keep lifting him up, trusting in God's unchanging love for him.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy.

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
