I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 2:1-4

Humbly we come before You, interceding on behalf of a dark and fallen world. Lord, one of the consequences of living in this fallen state is not just broken bodies, but broken minds. Mental health problems have always been with us, but Lord, now it is rampant.
The enemy is a force within our culture and has legitimized behavior that would normally institutionalize a person. The enemy has facilitated drug abuse. The enemy stands in the way of consequences. Mental illness is every where, in politics, in our institutions and even in our churches.
Lord, we lift up those who suffer mental illness and we lift their families in prayer. Whether the mental illness is caused by a person’s environment, a chemical imbalance, recreational drugs or disabling grief, we pray for relief for those with broken minds and broken hearts. We pray that those who suffer from mental illness will turn to You for healing.
We pray for the families who suffer because of a broken mind. We pray for wisdom, guidance and mercy. We pray that the hardship will draw them closer to You. We pray that those in pain will be able to walk into something beautiful - that is a relationship with Jesus Christ. We pray that they seek healing in You. We pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.

Psalm 91
1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
Amen to Every Word of your Powerful Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
Joining you in Thanksgiving, Prayer, and Praise.
AMEN!
