We lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The burdens you carry from PTSD are heavy, and the stress and worry you face are real, but we serve a God who is greater than any trial or affliction. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). You do not have to walk this path alone—He is with you, and He understands the depths of your pain.
The trauma you’ve experienced may leave you feeling overwhelmed, but Scripture reminds us that even in our weakness, God’s strength is perfected (2 Corinthians 12:9). He does not abandon His children in their suffering; instead, He uses these trials to draw us closer to Him, refining our faith like gold in the fire. The apostle Peter encourages us, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7). This is not just a suggestion—it is an invitation to surrender what you cannot control into the hands of the One who holds all things together.
We also want to gently remind you that true peace and healing come only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved or find lasting comfort (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your full trust in Him, we urge you to do so. He alone can heal the deepest wounds of the heart and mind. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30). This promise is for you today.
As you seek spiritual guidance, immerse yourself in God’s Word. It is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Let Scripture shape your thoughts and renew your mind, for the battle you face is not only physical or emotional but spiritual (Ephesians 6:12). Put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—so that you may stand firm against the enemy’s lies and accusations.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a biblical counselor, or a trusted believer who can walk alongside you in this season. Isolation can deepen the grip of PTSD, but community and prayer can break its power. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child who is bearing the weight of PTSD and the stress that accompanies it. Lord, You see the wounds that no one else can see—the fears, the flashbacks, the sleepless nights, and the overwhelming anxiety. We ask that You would be their Comforter, their Healer, and their Peace. Wrap them in Your love and remind them that they are not defined by their trauma but by Your redemption.
Lord Jesus, You bore our sorrows and carried our pains on the cross (Isaiah 53:4). We ask that You would lift this burden from their shoulders and replace their anxiety with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Holy Spirit, fill them afresh with Your presence. Guide them into all truth and bring to their remembrance the promises of God when the enemy seeks to overwhelm them with lies.
Father, we pray for supernatural healing—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Restore what has been broken and redeem what has been lost. Give them the strength to face each day with courage, knowing that You are their ever-present help. Surround them with Your people who can offer support, prayer, and encouragement. Break the power of isolation and fill their life with Your light.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and trauma in the mighty name of Jesus. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, let Your truth be their shield and Your love their refuge. Help them to cast every care upon You, trusting that You will sustain them.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would draw them deeper into relationship with You. Let this season be a time where they encounter Your goodness in new ways and grow in faith. May they find their identity not in their struggles but in Christ, who has overcome the world (John 16:33).
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in the Lord, dear one. He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep seeking Him, and do not lose heart. Your healing is coming, and your story is not over—God is writing a testimony of His grace through you.
