Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of our anonymous friend who is feeling scared and anxious. Lord, you are our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. We ask that you would surround our friend with your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, just as your word promises in Philippians 4:6-7.
Father, we lift up our friend's concern about interacting with hostile mentally ill individuals. We know that dealing with difficult situations can be overwhelming and challenging. We ask for your divine protection and guidance in these encounters. Please grant our friend wisdom, discernment, and a spirit of compassion as they navigate these interactions. Help them to respond with love and understanding, even in the face of hostility.
Lord, we pray for safety and security for our friend. We ask that you would shield them from harm and keep them out of danger. Your word assures us in Psalm 91:4 that you will cover us with your feathers and under your wings we will find refuge. We trust in your unfailing protection, knowing that you are our strong tower and defense.
Finally, Lord, we ask for your peace to flood our friend's heart and mind. Help them to cast all their anxieties on you, for you care for them. Remind them that you are with them in every situation, and that they can find comfort and strength in your presence.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
