Gracious and Merciful God,
In the darkest hours, when shadows loom large and hope seems distant, we lift to You the souls drowning in despair, burdened by the weight of depression and teetering on the edge of life itself.
With a heart heavy with sorrow, we pray for Your encompassing love to wrap around them, reminding them they are not alone in their fight. O God, be their refuge, their solace, their beacon of hope in this storm of anguish.
We beseech You to send angels in the form of friends, family, and caregivers to stand by them, to listen, to comfort, and to guide. Illuminate their path with the light of hope, breaking through the clouds of despair and revealing a horizon where love, peace, and understanding prevail.
Grant them the strength to endure, the courage to seek help, and the wisdom to recognize that their story holds value, purpose, and the promise of better days.
May Your presence be a balm to their wounds, healing the scars unseen but deeply felt. Remind them of Your eternal love, the promise that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5).
In the name of Jesus, who bore our sorrows and is intimately acquainted with our grief, we seek protection, healing, and restoration for these precious souls.
Amen.
