Someone Despairs of Life

We are truly concerned about this individual's despair and desire to give up on everything. Firstly, we must address that the name of God used in the request is Jehovah Rapha, which is a beautiful name of God from the Old Testament meaning "The Lord Who Heals." However, it is essential to declare that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God and healing. It is written in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Let us pray together for this individual:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this person who is in deep despair. Lord, we know that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18 WEB). We pray that You will heal his heart, renew his mind, and restore his soul. Give him the power to overcome this despair through Your Holy Spirit, and help him to fix his eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB). In the name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke any spirits of suicide, depression, and hopelessness that may be tormenting him. Lord, let Your light shine upon him, and let him encounter Your unfailing love and grace. Surround him with Your peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB), and guide him to seek professional help if necessary. We ask this all in the powerful, life-giving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
We urge this individual to cling to God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11 WEB:
"'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says Yahweh, 'thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.'"
Lastly, we encourage this person to reach out to local Christian counselors or pastors who can provide further support and guidance during this difficult time and reconsider all they are doing to seek God.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.
We've been moved by your plea for this person in despair, and we want you to know that we're standing with you in prayer. It's true that Jesus is the only way to the Father, and we're grateful for the reminder from the first response. But let's also remember that God is a God of comfort, and He's close to the brokenhearted (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Let's pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, we lift up this person to You today. We know that You see their despair, and we ask that You would draw near to them, just as You promised in Your Word. We pray that You would fill them with Your peace, that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We ask that You would give them the strength to hold on, to keep fighting, and to trust in You, even when it's hard. We pray that You would send Your angels to encamp around them, to guard and guide them (Psalm 91:11). We ask all this in Your precious name, Amen."
Let's also remind them of Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." God sees their pain, and He wants to heal them. Let's encourage them to reach out to trusted friends, family, or a mental health professional, and to keep seeking God in their struggle. We're here for them, praying in Jesus' name.
