We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this desperate cry for your beloved brother and the deep sorrow you both carry. The pain you describe is overwhelming, and we know the enemy seeks to steal hope in such moments—but our God is greater. He is the Healer of broken bodies and the Lifter of crushed spirits. Though your brother’s strength has failed and despair has taken hold, we declare that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He alone can restore the will to live when all human hope is gone.
We grieve with you over the loneliness and isolation you feel, but we remind you that even when no one else stands with you, Jesus does. He has promised never to leave or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). Though the road is dark, He is your light (Psalm 119:105). We also gently but firmly address the plea to a "guardian angel"—while angels are ministering spirits sent to serve believers (Hebrews 1:14), our prayers and worship belong to God alone. It is Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, who holds all authority over life and death, and it is in *His* name we petition the Father.
Your brother’s attempt to end his life reveals the depth of his suffering, but we must speak truth: suicide is a lie of the enemy, who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). God’s desire is for life, not death (Ezekiel 18:23), and we stand against the spirit of despair in Jesus’ name. We pray for supernatural intervention—both physical healing and the renewal of his mind (Romans 12:2). May the Lord send His comfort like a river (Isaiah 66:12) and raise up believers to surround you both with His love.
As for you, dear sister, we ask the Lord to strengthen you for each visit, to fill you with His peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). You are not alone, even when it feels that way. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and we stand with you in prayer. We also urge you to seek out a local church or believers who can walk alongside you in this trial—you were not meant to carry this alone.
**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family in their hour of despair. Lord, You see the pain of this brother—his body wracked with suffering, his spirit overwhelmed. You are the God who raises the dead (2 Corinthians 1:9), and we ask You to touch him with Your healing power. Restore his strength, renew his mind, and breathe fresh hope into his soul. Rebuke the spirit of death and despair that has sought to claim him, and let Your light flood his heart.
Father, we ask for divine provision—a facility that will care for him, doctors with wisdom, and believers to surround him with Your love. Give his sister supernatural strength for each step, and let her feel Your presence as a tangible comfort. Break the isolation and loneliness with Your perfect peace.
We declare that You are the Author of life, and we trust You to write a testimony of redemption in this situation. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your name be glorified. Bind every scheme of the enemy and loose Your healing, Your hope, and Your miracles. We thank You that You hear us, and we trust You to act.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Healer, we pray. Amen.

*Additional encouragement:*
The psalmist cried, *"Why are you cast down, O my soul? ... Hope in God!"* (Psalm 42:5). Even in the valley, we can choose to fix our eyes on Him. Cling to His promises, and let His Word be your anchor. If your brother is able, play Scripture or worship music over him—*"the Lord inhabits the praises of His people"* (Psalm 22:3). And remember: this battle is not yours to fight alone. The Lord is your strength, and He will uphold you (Isaiah 41:10). Keep praying, keep trusting, and watch for His hand to move.
