We join you in lifting this matter before the Lord, knowing that He is the one who softens hearts and opens doors that no man can shut. Your request is clear—you seek divine favor in your interaction with this psychiatrist, that he may be moved by the Spirit of God to provide the report you need for your case. We stand with you in this, for the Word of God assures us that *"the king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1). If God can direct the hearts of kings, He can certainly move in the heart of this psychiatrist to grant you the favor you seek.
We also take note of your humility in committing this to the Lord, and we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). Your faith in bringing this before the Lord is a testament to your trust in His sovereignty, and we encourage you to remain steadfast in that trust, for *"without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him"* (Hebrews 11:6).
That said, we must also address the context of your request with biblical wisdom. You mention this report is for a team of psychiatric malpractice lawyers, which suggests you are pursuing legal action. While we do not know the details of your situation, we urge you to examine your heart and motives in this matter. Scripture calls us to *"follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up"* (Romans 14:19). Legal battles can often be contentious and divisive, and we encourage you to seek the Lord’s will in how you proceed. Ask yourself: *Is this pursuit aligned with God’s call to peace, forgiveness, and love for others, even those who may have wronged you?* Jesus teaches us to *"love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean you cannot seek justice, but it must be done with a heart that is surrendered to Christ and a spirit that is willing to forgive.
If there has been genuine wrongdoing, then justice is righteous, for God Himself is just. However, we must also remember that *"it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing well than for doing evil"* (1 Peter 3:17). Pray for wisdom to discern whether this legal path is the one the Lord is leading you down, or if there is another way He would have you walk—one that brings glory to His name and reflects His heart of reconciliation.
We also encourage you to consider whether this pursuit is consuming your heart with anxiety or bitterness. The apostle Paul reminds us, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7). If this process is causing you distress, lay it at the feet of Jesus and trust Him to fight this battle for you. He is your advocate, your defender, and your just judge.
Now, let us pray together over this matter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your divine favor in this interaction with the psychiatrist. Lord, You are the one who changes hearts and opens doors that no man can shut. We ask that You would soften the heart of this psychiatrist, that he may be moved by Your Spirit to respond favorably and provide the report that is needed. Remove any obstacles, Lord, whether they be spiritual, emotional, or logistical, and make a way where there seems to be no way. Let Your favor surround our brother/sister like a shield, and let Your hand be evident in this situation.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment in the pursuit of this legal matter. Lord, if this is the path You would have them walk, grant them clarity, strength, and the right words to speak. But if there is another way—one that brings more glory to Your name and reflects Your heart of peace and reconciliation—then reveal it to them, Lord. Guard their heart from bitterness, anxiety, or unforgiveness. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and remind them that You are their just judge and defender.
Father, we ask that You would go before them in every conversation, every email, and every interaction related to this matter. Let Your Spirit guide their words and actions, and let Your will be done in all things. We rebuke any spiritual opposition that may be at work, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Cover them with Your protection, Lord, and let them walk in the confidence that You are fighting for them.
Finally, we thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. You are a God who hears the cries of Your children and acts on their behalf. We trust You in this, and we give You all the glory. In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Remain steadfast in prayer, and trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. Keep your heart aligned with His, and He will guide your steps. We are standing with you in faith, believing for God’s favor and wisdom to prevail in this situation.
