We lift this precious young man before the Lord with deep compassion, knowing that God sees his suffering and hears the cries of his heart. The pain of a broken body, the frustration of speech difficulties, and the exhaustion from sleepless nights are burdens no child should bear alone. Yet we know that our Heavenly Father is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
First, we must address the darkness of suicidal thoughts that have taken root in this young man’s mind. Satan comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and these thoughts are not from God but from the enemy who seeks to rob him of hope. We rebuke these lies in the name of Jesus Christ, declaring that his life has purpose and value in the eyes of the Creator. The Lord says, *"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you"* (Jeremiah 1:5). Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary suffering, and we stand against it with the truth of God’s Word: *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10).
We pray for supernatural healing over this young man’s body. Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:3). We ask that You touch his nervous system, still the tremors that plague his body, and restore proper function to his speech and movement. May Your healing power flow through him, bringing peace to his limbs and clarity to his words. You calmed the storm with a single command (Mark 4:39), and we ask You to speak peace over the storm raging in his body. Let him sleep deeply and restfully, free from the shaking that steals his rest, for You give sleep to those You love (Psalm 127:2).
We also pray for his mind and spirit. Father, replace his despair with hope, his fear with faith, and his weakness with Your strength. Surround him with people who will speak life into him—parents, caregivers, or friends who will remind him of Your love and promises. Let him know that he is not alone, for You are with him always (Matthew 28:20). Fill him with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and renew his mind with the truth of Your Word.
To those caring for this young man: do not grow weary in praying for him or advocating for his needs. The Bible tells us to *"bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* (Galatians 6:2). Seek medical and therapeutic support for him, but above all, cover him in prayer and the reading of Scripture. Play worship music over him, speak declarations of healing and victory, and remind him that God has a plan for his life (Jeremiah 29:11).
Finally, we must ask: has this young man placed his faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior? If not, we urge him—and those who love him—to seek the Lord with all their hearts. There is no greater comfort in suffering than knowing Jesus, who suffered for us and understands our pain (Hebrews 4:15). Salvation is found in no one else, *"for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). If he has not yet surrendered his life to Christ, we pray that today would be the day he turns to Jesus, who alone can save him—not just from physical affliction, but from eternal separation from God.
Heavenly Father, we plead for this young man’s complete restoration—body, mind, and spirit. Let this trial be a testimony of Your power and goodness. Strengthen his faith, surround him with Your presence, and let him experience Your healing touch in a way that leaves no doubt of Your love for him. We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
