A Prayer for the Brokenhearted and Depressed

A prayer for the brokenhearted and depressed

Have mercy on the brokenhearted, oh God.
To those wandering in the dark maze of depression,
Shine a guiding light to safety.
Silence the lies that fill their minds, and Replace them with words of truth and love.
Break down their idols of ambition and perfection.
Lift their eyes to you.
Deliver them from blindness.
Heal their brokenness.
Forgive them for their sins, and
Give them grace to forgive themselves. Raise them up from the clutches of death. Show them the promise of new life in you. Give them courage to face the pain of life. Enable them to see beauty in the midst of brokenness.
Surround them with voices of love and truth.
Do not leave them alone.
Have mercy on your children, oh God. Save them with your mighty hand.
Shelter and sustain them in your love. May they be reborn in you.
May they rise up in your strength.
May they love with your love.
May they live in humility, laying down their dreams and ambitions before your goodness.
Make them new, oh God.
Come and save your children.
