Prayer for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

God of shelter, in the voracious sea of PTSD’s tempest, I am adrift. A moment’s peace is often far and fleeting before the ghosts of past traumas come baying again. They fill my heart with anxiety, my mind with tangles of fear. Hope becomes a distant star, faint and prone to winking out at any time. In this storm-ridden night within me, I beg You for courage. Courage to square off against these tormenting specters—dredged up from life’s cruel trenches—to assert that I will not be laid low by them. God, lend me the strength to face these dusty demons head-on as they flex their menacing shadows over my tranquility.

Gird me with Your divine protection—a celestial armor—to bolster my spirit when these ceaseless waves crash upon my bow. Jesus Christ, guardian against fear and despair, guide me through this journey teeming with unseen beasts. I implore You to channel Your unwavering might into surging waves of respite rushing over my turbulent shores. Gift me glimpses into those euphoric spheres where turmoil exists but does not reign supreme—an oasis amongst chaos—a reminder that even in darkness hope burns bright. Tomorrow is uncertain as ever, and yet there remains an unflinching beacon braving this abyss: belief—your ultimate gift—beaming light across infernal depths illuminating whispers of quietude amidst harrowed screams; revealing paths leading away from the battlefield towards serene landscapes fertile with possibilities anew. May your blessing infuse every breath drawn in trepidation, transforming it into one brimming with resolve—even if every fiber wails against it—for faith grounded in You knows no bounds; it transcends trepidation and builds bridges over gorges. Within this swirling tempest, let me plant seeds of fortitude nourished by Your divine love—soon to grow into pillars casting shroud-breaking luminescence in darkest corners. Please instill the courage and tenacity within me to navigate life’s stormy seas and emerge victorious on distant shores. May my armor-emblazoned heart sing a clarion call for those led astray by PTSD’s labyrinthine wilds—a beacon blazing trails through menacing shadows burning them away with defiant radiance. Grant me the strength to

Cradled in Your love and mercy, may we find solace and release our fears tethering us to PTSD’s darkness. Empower us with courage, dear Lord, to trust in Your divine healing. Breathe into our souls, pure peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Heavenly Navigator, in tumultuous seas of post-traumatic stress, we seek Your tranquil harbor. Recall Jeremiah 29:11, our roadmap to prosperity and peace, not disaster. Accentuate stillness in our thoughts; vanquish disquiet. Invigorate us with fortitude; the surrender is ours but the battle is Yours. Through You, anxiety’s grip loosens and hope binds firmly. Amen.

In our hours of darkness, O Lord, as traumatic memories curl around us like thick shadows, we beseech You. Blanket us with Your divine warmth, alleviate our burdensome pains. You, who kindle stars into existence, can surely spark hope in our suffocating despair. Help us remember that dawn follows even the longest night. Whisper in our hearts Your love song of consolation; May it revamp our shattered souls and restore solace in its innermost recesses. Be a lighthouse to guide us through this storm of PTSD darkness towards serene shores. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.

Eternal Refuge, amidst this swirling storm of PTSD, I lean on Your promise—“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you…” (John 14:27). Hear my plea: Give me solace in the shadows. Bestow upon me the wisdom to journey through the traumatic byways of my mind. May Your love light up the labyrinth within, guiding me towards tranquility. Encourage my spirit, yet tender and yearning for calm. Whisper strength into my heart like a gentle songbird at dawn; restore hope where despair echoes. Be my beacon; guide me through trust and faith. Amen.

Beneath the shield of Your divine mercy, we stand, oh Lord. In our struggle with the tempest of traumatic shadows, grant us the armor of peaceful fortitude. Amidst the chaos echo of battle-wrought memories stirring ceaselessly in our minds, imbue us with tranquil harmony. Infuse our hearts with a battle-ready hope, resilient against those unseen assailants that scourge our tranquility. For in your enduring grace, we find weaponized peace, transforming remembrances into pillars of strength and reminders of survival. Through this battleground within, guide us towards the light of unshaken serenity by Your comforting presence. Amen.

Gracious Lord, amidst the turmoil of PTSD, we cling to Your divine promise in 1 Corinthians 16:14 – let all we do be done with love. We beseech You now, may love permeate the cracks brought by trauma; grow deep roots that firmly grasp our healing hearts. Like a lighthouse’s beam piercing storm-laden skies, may genuine affection illuminate our darkest moments. Shower upon us such love O God, as only You can provide – unfailing and ever-constant. In grief transformed and faith restored, from strength to strength, we press onward towards love unceasing. Amen.
