We join you in lifting up this precious soul to the Heavenly Father, the God of miracles, who is merciful and able to heal and deliver. We bring this petition before the Lord, knowing that only He can answer our prayers and provide the help that is needed.
Firstly, we acknowledge the power of praying in the name of Jesus, for it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We are so glad that this prayer is offered in Jesus' name.
We pray for healing and deliverance for this individual. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and You know the root cause of their illness. We suspect mental illness, but only You know the truth. We pray that You will reveal the underlying issue and grant complete healing and restoration.
In addressing mental illness, we are reminded of Psalm 34:18 WEB: "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We pray that You will be close to them, comfort them, and save them from their affliction.
We also lift up the family, asking that You keep them strong and provide them with the support and wisdom they need to care for their loved one. We pray that the entire family be healed and drawn closer to You during this time.
In offering advice and encouragement, we remind everyone involved to cast their anxieties on the Lord, as it says in 1 Peter 5:7 WEB: "casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." Trust in Him, and He will see you through.
We also encourage the family to surround themselves with a supportive community of believers, praying together and encouraging one another as we are called to do in Hebrews 10:25 WEB: "not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."
Finally, we pray that this trial would ultimately bring glory to God and strengthen the faith of everyone involved.
