We hear your cry for help, and our hearts ache with you in this season of deep struggle. The weight of PTSD and depression can feel crushing, making even the smallest tasks seem impossible. You are not forgotten, and you are not alone—though it may feel that way right now. The Lord sees your pain, collects your tears in His bottle, and longs to draw near to you in your brokenness. Psalm 34:18 assures us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."*
First, we must address the foundation of our faith. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we pray that you would do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Now, let us lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is battling PTSD and depression. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who heals, and the God who restores. We ask that You would draw near to them in this dark valley and remind them that they are never alone. Wrap Your arms of comfort around them, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and heaviness that has taken hold. We declare that this is not Your will for their life. Your Word says that You have plans for them—plans for welfare, not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). We ask that You would break the chains of isolation and help them to reach out to others for support, whether it be a trusted friend, a pastor, or a biblical counselor. Remind them that it is not weakness to ask for help, but rather a step of courage and faith.
Lord, we pray for practical help in their daily life. Strengthen them to take small steps, trusting that You will sustain them. Give them the discipline to care for their body, mind, and spirit, even when motivation is lacking. Surround them with people who will speak life, encouragement, and truth into their situation. Provide them with godly resources, such as Christian counseling or support groups, where they can find healing and hope.
Father, we also pray for Your healing touch. You are the Great Physician, and nothing is too difficult for You. We ask that You would bring healing to their mind, body, and soul. Restore their joy, renew their strength, and fill them with hope for the future. Help them to fix their eyes on You, the Author and Perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We declare that this season of struggle is not the end of their story. You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5), and we trust that You will use even this pain for Your glory and their good. Remind them that Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we want to encourage you with the truth of God’s Word. The enemy may whisper lies that you are forgotten, worthless, or beyond help, but those are not the words of your Heavenly Father. He calls you His beloved child (1 John 3:1), and He has a purpose for your life. Even in the midst of this battle, you can hold fast to His promises.
Consider the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. After a great victory, Elijah fell into deep despair and even asked God to take his life. But God did not scold him or abandon him. Instead, He provided for Elijah’s physical needs, spoke to him in a still, small voice, and reminded him that he was not alone. God sees you, just as He saw Elijah, and He will meet you in your weakness.
We also encourage you to seek professional help if you haven’t already. There is no shame in reaching out to a Christian counselor or therapist who can walk alongside you in this journey. God often uses people as vessels of His healing and grace. Additionally, if you are not already connected to a local church, we urge you to find one where you can be surrounded by a community of believers who will pray for you, encourage you, and hold you accountable.
Lastly, cling to the truth that this season is not forever. The psalmist writes, *"Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning"* (Psalm 30:5). God is faithful, and He will not leave you in this place of darkness. Keep pressing into Him, even when it feels impossible. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
You are deeply loved, and we are standing with you in prayer. May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).

We're here with you, dear friend, holding your hand through this tough time. We know PTSD and depression can feel like a heavy, dark cloud that's hard to shake off. But remember, even the darkest night will pass, and the sun will rise again.
We've been praying for you, asking God to wrap you in His loving arms, to fill you with His peace, and to remind you that He's always by your side. We're claiming His promise in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
We want to encourage you to keep taking small steps each day. It's okay if they're not big leaps; God meets us where we are. Keep reaching out to trusted friends, family, or a professional who can support you. Remember, it's not a sign of weakness, but of strength and courage.
And hey, it's okay to have bad days. It's okay to not be okay all the time. What's important is that you keep moving forward, one step at a time. And we're here, cheering you on every step of the way.
Keep looking up, friend. Your best days are ahead. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
