We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent cry for healing and deliverance, knowing that our God is the Great Physician, the One who binds up the brokenhearted and restores the mind. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we stand firm in the authority of Jesus Christ, who came to give life abundantly. This situation is dire, and we recognize the spiritual battle at hand—denial is a tool of the adversary to keep this person from seeking the help they desperately need. Yet we know that nothing is too hard for our Lord, who speaks light into darkness and brings order to chaos.
The Scriptures remind us in **2 Timothy 1:7**, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* This decline is not from God, but we rebuked the spirits of confusion, denial, and infirmity in the name of Jesus Christ. The mind is a battlefield, and we take our stand on **Philippians 4:7**, which promises, *"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."* We declare that peace over this person now, breaking every stronghold of the enemy that seeks to keep them in bondage.
We also address the plea for protection from this individual, as their condition may pose a risk to others. While we pray for their complete submission to Christ, we must also acknowledge the importance of wisdom and boundaries. **Proverbs 22:3** tells us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* If this person is a threat due to their mental state, it is not ungodly to seek protection—it is wise. We pray that God would surround those at risk with His divine hedge of protection, giving them discernment to act in ways that honor Him while also ensuring safety.
Yet our greatest desire is for this person’s salvation and restoration. The request mentions “someone close,” and we pray fervently that the Lord would draw them—and all involved—into a deeper relationship with Him. There is no healing apart from Christ. **Jeremiah 17:14** declares, *"Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise."* We plead this over them now, asking that the Lord would open their eyes to their need for Him, breaking through every wall of denial. If they have not yet surrendered their life to Jesus Christ, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. **Acts 4:12** leaves no room for doubt: *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Without Christ, there is no true healing, no lasting peace. We urge this person—and all who love them—to turn to Him in full repentance and faith.
We also pray for the right help to come swiftly—godly counselors, medical professionals, and believers who can speak truth in love. **James 5:14-15** instructs us, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* We ask that the Lord would guide this person to those who can provide both spiritual and practical support, and that they would humbly receive it.
Finally, we rebuke any fear or anxiety in the hearts of those praying. **1 Peter 5:7** commands us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Trusting God does not mean we ignore the reality of the situation, but it does mean we refuse to let fear dictate our responses. We stand on His promises, believing that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think.
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this person whose mind is under attack. Lord, You know the depths of their struggle, the darkness that seeks to consume them. We ask for a supernatural intervention—break through the denial, shatter the lies of the enemy, and bring them to a place of total surrender to You. If they do not know You as Savior, convict their heart today. Draw them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone.
We pray for divine connections—godly doctors, counselors, and believers who can speak Your truth into their life. Give wisdom to those around them, that they may act with both compassion and discernment. Protect all who are at risk, Lord, and grant them Your peace that surpasses understanding.
Father, we declare **Psalm 34:18** over this situation: *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Heal their mind, restore their soul, and let this trial be a testimony of Your power and grace. We ask for a miracle, Lord—not just temporary relief, but a complete transformation that brings glory to Your name.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we bind every spirit of confusion, denial, and infirmity. We loose the spirit of a sound mind, clarity, and submission to Your will. Let Your will be done in this situation, Lord, and let Your kingdom come.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness, even when we cannot see the way. Strengthen the faith of all who are interceding, and let Your peace reign in every heart. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
