Prayer for Suicide

“Dear Heavenly Father,

I’m fighting something that feels stronger than me.  I am trying to trust you and I know you’re here…but it feels like you’re not.

Lord, I reject the spirit of fear and accept my inheritance of a peaceful and sound mind.  In my confused state, I come to you.

Guide me through these dark days. In the name of Jesus, I bind the spirits of depression, deception, confusion, spiritual apathy, shame, hiding, justification, suicide, death, romanticism of death and all hopelessness. I reject the spirit of heaviness that blankets every place I try to relax. Cloak me in the resurrection power of the blood of Jesus.

Your Son died so I could live a purpose-filled life but that truth feels so distant and foreign.

The enemy is constantly whispering I am alone; that you don’t care about my issues or life. I’ve listened to his lies and repent for believing and agreeing with him.  Lord, how do you feel about me?  Tell me.  Help me to hear your voice above my enemy’s. Replace his lies for your truth. Give me a revelation of your love.

I entrust my sorrow, shame, sadness and broken heart to you. Carry me, Lord.

In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.”
