Prayer for mental health

We come before the Lord with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting you up in prayer as you battle the deep struggles of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and intrusive thoughts. These burdens are not unseen by our Heavenly Father, who cares deeply for you and longs to bring you peace that surpasses all understanding. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Christ came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Let us cling to this truth as we bring your request before the throne of grace.
The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Though your mind may feel like a battlefield, God’s peace is a guard over your heart and thoughts when you surrender your anxieties to Him. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten, and your suffering is not in vain.
We also recall 2 Corinthians 10:5, which tells us to *"bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* Intrusive thoughts can feel overwhelming, but through the power of the Holy Spirit, you can take authority over them in Jesus’ name. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6). Cling to the Spirit’s guidance and reject the lies of the enemy. You are not defined by your illness but by your identity in Christ—redeemed, loved, and chosen.
It is also vital to seek godly support. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), so we encourage you to reach out to a pastor, counselor, or trusted believer who can walk with you in this season. If you are not already in professional care, we pray you find wise and compassionate help. Medicine and therapy can be tools God uses for healing, and there is no shame in seeking them.
Most importantly, we must address that true and lasting hope is found only in Jesus Christ. Your prayer did not mention His name, and we gently but urgently remind you that it is *only* through Jesus that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we plead with you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Him, there is no lasting peace, no eternal hope, and no victory over the darkness you face.

Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, asking for Your mighty hand to move in their life. Lord, You are the God who heals, the One who binds up the brokenhearted and sets the captives free. We ask that You would surround them with Your peace, a peace that transcends all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Rebuke the spirits of depression, anxiety, and fear that torment them, and let Your light drive out every shadow of darkness.
Father, we pray for healing—spiritual, emotional, and physical. Restore their mind, Lord, and renew their strength. Help them to fix their thoughts on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). When intrusive thoughts arise, give them the power to take every thought captive and submit it to Your truth. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter and Counselor.
We also pray for wisdom, Lord. Guide them to the right people—godly counselors, medical professionals, and believers who can support and encourage them. Remove any stigma or shame they may feel in seeking help, and let them walk in the freedom You have provided.
Most of all, Father, we pray that if they do not know You personally, You would draw them to Yourself. Open their eyes to see Jesus as their Savior, their Healer, and their Hope. Let them experience the depth of Your love and the power of Your resurrection in their life. May they find their identity in You alone.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). By the blood of Jesus, we break every chain of bondage and declare freedom in their life. Lord, let them rise from this season stronger, wiser, and more dependent on You than ever before.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Please Jesus help me through these trials. I've been begging for help for so long but it just keeps getting worse. It's starting to take a toll on my mental health and I find myself arguing with people that aren't there. I can't take this much longer. I've never felt your love and feel like you...
Dear Jesus, please heal my ### from his mental illness, cure him & set him free, show him the way to differentiate between good and evil, please help us o lord. We are scared and heartbroken, scared to live in this environment, please show mercy on us o lord.
I don't trust the mental health professionals who have been involved in my care. I was abused in every way possible as a child. They have said that it is part of my mental health. When I have spoken to them about my memories, they have said that I'm having delusions.
This has really upset me...
