We are concerned about the nature of your request. The Bible tells us that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). It is important to understand that life is a precious gift from God, and He desires for us to live abundantly in Him (John 10:10, WEB).
Firstly, we want to address the mention of perishing. As believers, we understand that there is an enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10, WEB). Suicidal thoughts or desires to perish are not from God. If you are feeling this way, it is crucial to seek help immediately from local mental health resources and to reach out to trusted Christian friends or leaders.
Secondly, we appreciate that you acknowledged Jesus by name in your prayer, which reminds us of this scripture, "For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is going through a difficult time. We pray that You would minister to their heart and mind, and remind them of their value and purpose in You. We stand against any spirits of despair, hopelessness, or suicide that may be attacking them, and we command these spirits to flee in the name of Jesus. We pray as You have said that if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Surround them with Your love, peace, and hope. Guide them to the resources and support they need to overcome this challenge. We ask this in Jesus Christs name.
In Jesus' name, we pray for your peace, providence, and progress. May God's will be done in your life, and may you find hope and encouragement in Him.
If you are feeling hopeless or considering self-harm, it is vital to reach out to a mental health professional or a trusted friend or family member immediately. You are precious to God, and He has a purpose for your life. Remember that He is with you always, even in the darkest times (Psalm 23:4, WEB), "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.".
