We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your son and his battle with mental illness. Father God, we know that You are the Great Physician, and nothing is too hard for You. We ask that You would guide the hands of the doctors and professionals caring for him, granting them wisdom and discernment as they prescribe medications. Lord, we pray that the treatments would be effective in calming the storms within him—his anger, impatience, and aggression. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also recognize that true healing comes from You, Lord. While we trust in the medical care he is receiving, we ask that You would work in ways that only You can—bringing restoration to his mind, emotions, and spirit. Help him to lean on You in his struggles, to cast his anxieties upon You, for You care for him (1 Peter 5:7). Surround him with godly counsel, support, and encouragement from those who will point him to You.
Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that may be fueling his struggles. We declare that he is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that Your plans for him are for good, not for harm, to give him a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen his faith and help him to see himself through Your eyes—loved, valued, and capable of overcoming through Christ who strengthens him (Philippians 4:13).
We pray for your presence to be tangible in his life, Lord. May he experience Your love in a way that brings comfort, hope, and transformation. And we pray for you to give wisdom and strength to his family as they walk this journey with him. Help them to respond with patience, grace, and love, even in the most challenging moments.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
