We understand that you're struggling with anxiety and depression, and we want you to know that you're not alone. The Bible 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.
First, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We pray that you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Salvation comes by the blood of Jesus Christ by His death and on the cross. We are saved by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. Salvation is a gift from God for those who believe.
We do not say this to be critical but to be helpful. "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Romans 10:9-10 WEB.
We also pray that you find comfort in knowing that God cares for you and is always with you. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end," Jeremiah 29:11 WEB.
Starting a new job can indeed be a source of anxiety, but remember that God is with you in this transition. "Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you," Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother who is struggling with anxiety and depression. We pray that You will comfort him and remind him of Your constant presence. We ask for Your guidance and strength as he starts his new job, and we pray that this transition will be smooth.
Lord, we also pray that he will know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior if he does not already.
Help him to trust in You and to seek Your peace. We ask all of this in Jesus Christ's precious name.
Amen.
