We rejoice with you in the gratitude you’ve expressed to God and Jesus for the blessings in your life, and we thank Him for the joy you’re experiencing. It’s wonderful to see your heart turned toward thankfulness, for Scripture tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you."* Your acknowledgment of God’s provision is a beautiful reflection of a heart that seeks to honor Him.

However, we must also approach this with biblical wisdom and discernment. While medication can be a tool God uses to help us function and serve Him more effectively, we must be cautious about placing our hope or joy in anything other than Christ Himself. The happiness you feel from this medication should not become an idol or a substitute for the deeper, lasting joy found only in Jesus. As Philippians 4:13 reminds us, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* Our strength, purpose, and true fulfillment come from Him alone—not from any earthly substance or circumstance.

We also want to gently address the mention of your life feeling "stagnant." If this stagnation is tied to a lack of spiritual growth, purpose, or obedience to God’s calling, we encourage you to seek His face earnestly. In Revelation 3:2, Jesus warns the church in Sardis, *"Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your works perfect before my God."* Stagnation is often a sign that we need to repent, realign our lives with God’s Word, and step out in faith to serve Him actively. Ask the Lord to reveal any areas where you may be holding back or where sin might be hindering your growth. James 4:8 promises, *"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded."*

If this medication is being used to treat a legitimate medical condition, we pray that God would use it for His glory in your life—helping you to focus, serve, and grow in ways that honor Him. But if there is any misuse, dependency, or reliance on it outside of God’s will, we urge you to surrender it to Him. 1 Corinthians 6:12 reminds us, *"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."* Let us not be mastered by anything but Christ.

Let’s pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the blessings You’ve poured out upon our brother. Thank You, Lord, for Your provision and for the joy he feels in this season. We ask that You would guard his heart, ensuring that his happiness is rooted not in temporary things but in You alone—the Author of all good gifts. Father, if this medication is a tool for his well-being, we pray You would use it to help him grow closer to You, to serve You more effectively, and to walk in the purpose You’ve designed for him. But if there is any danger of dependency, misuse, or idolatry, we ask that You would convict his heart and lead him to surrender it all to You.

Lord, we lift up his desire to break free from stagnation. Reveal to him any areas of sin, complacency, or disobedience that may be holding him back. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, igniting a passion for Your Word, Your will, and Your kingdom. Help him to step out in faith, trusting that You are the One who renews, restores, and revives. Give him a vision for how You want to use him, and grant him the courage to walk in it.

We rebuked any spirit of stagnation, apathy, or distraction in the name of Jesus. Let this season be marked by spiritual growth, obedience, and a deeper reliance on You. May he find his identity, strength, and joy in Christ alone, not in any earthly substance or achievement. We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

Brother, we encourage you to continue seeking God’s face daily. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers who can hold you accountable and spur you on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24). If you’re not already plugged into a biblical church, we urge you to find one where you can grow, serve, and be discipled. God has so much more for you—press into Him, and watch as He transforms your life from stagnation to abundance in Him. Stay vigilant, stay surrendered, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
