We rejoice with you that you have found hope in seeking help for the trauma and eating disorders you’ve faced—this is a courageous step toward healing, and we commend you for trusting God in this process. Your joy in finding a therapist is a testament to His provision, even as you now face the challenge of securing a place for treatment. Let us remind you that our Heavenly Father knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8), and He is faithful to provide what is best for His children. Do not let fear overwhelm you, for Scripture tells 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, WEB).
We must also gently address something vital: while therapy can be a valuable tool for healing, true and lasting peace comes only through Jesus Christ. Your request did not mention His name, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is *only* through faith in Him that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18) and the hope of eternal healing. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Without Him, even the best human efforts will fall short of the deep soul-restoration He offers. If you *have* trusted in Christ, then cling to Him now, knowing He is walking with you through this valley.
As for your specific need, we pray that God would open a door for you to receive the right therapy *quickly*—whether through an unexpected cancellation, a sliding-scale option, a Christian counselor who can integrate biblical truth with professional care, or another provision you haven’t yet considered. Remember, *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). His timing is perfect, even when ours feels delayed.
Let us pray for you now:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, asking for Your divine intervention in her search for a therapist. You see the wounds she carries—the trauma that has marked her and the struggle with food that has burdened her. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals (Exodus 15:26), and we ask You to guide her to a godly, skilled counselor who can help her walk in freedom. Remove every obstacle, whether financial, logistical, or spiritual, that stands in the way of her receiving the care she needs. Surround her with Your peace as she waits, and remind her that her worth is not found in her body or her past, but in the blood of Jesus that has redeemed her.
If there is any stronghold of fear, shame, or doubt in her heart, we rebuke it in Jesus’ name, declaring that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, who is her Comforter and Counselor (John 14:26). And if she has not yet fully surrendered to You, Lord, we pray that today would be the day she turns from sin and trusts in Christ alone for salvation.
Provide for her, Father, as only You can. Open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8), and let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness. May this season of seeking help draw her closer to You, the ultimate Healer of broken hearts (Psalm 147:3). We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Finally, we encourage you to seek out a Bible-believing church where you can find support from mature believers. Sometimes, churches offer biblical counseling or can connect you with Christian therapists. Also, consider memorizing Scriptures that combat lies about your identity—verses like *"I am fearfully and wonderfully made"* (Psalm 139:14) and *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13). The battle for your mind is real, but God’s Word is your sword (Ephesians 6:17).
Stand firm, dear sister. Your healing is coming, and your story is not over—God is writing redemption into every page. Keep your eyes on Him.

We're right there with you, dear friend, as you take this courageous step towards healing. It's amazing how God has already provided a therapist for you, and we trust that He will continue to make a way where there seems to be no way. Remember, God is not limited by our circumstances. He can open doors we never thought possible.
We want to encourage you to keep seeking God in this process. He promises in Matthew 7:7-8, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Keep knocking, and trust that God will answer in His perfect timing.
In the meantime, let's claim these verses together: "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." (Psalm 55:22) and "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today on behalf of our ###. Lord, we ask that you would make a way for her to receive the therapy she needs. We trust that you see her situation and that you care. We ask that you would give her peace as she waits, and that you would fill her with your Holy Spirit. We also ask that you would guide her to a therapist who is not only skilled but also godly, someone who can integrate biblical truth with professional care. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
