Healing Confession of Faith from PTSD

With the constant onslaught of chaos and recent tragedies I sense in my spirit that it is time for me to write up a healing confession of faith from PTSD. So that you have spiritual help during a very deep and dark place you have found yourself this day. Take these words and pray them from your heart daily and allow the healing power of God’s promises to mend your broken spirit.

Father God, as David did in Psalm 18:6, “In my distress I call upon the Lord, and cry to my God for help.” (NKJV).

You say, “You heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds,” (PS. 147:3, NKJV). So, in my great distress, I submit myself to Your healing promise that states, “You sent Your word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions,” (PS. 107:20, NKJV). Lord Jesus, I lay my burden down at Your precious feet, I can’t do this on my own, I need Your “Steadfast love that never ceases, and your mercies that never come to an end,” (LAM. 3:22, ESV).

“Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to You I cry all day long,” (PS. 86:3, NKJV). You promise in Psalm 91:15, “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.” (NKJV) Oh Lord, I need this promise activated in my life. I have tried but can’t seem to get myself unstuck, I need You to “Lift me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire.” I also need You to, “Set my feet on a rock and give me a firm place to stand,” (PS. 40:2, NIV).

Apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 1:7 that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (NKJV). But in all honesty, I confess that I struggle with great fear, I feel powerless, and my mind is not sound at this time. I feel like I am back in that dark, dank prison that Paul was locked up in back in Rome. Although my prison may not be physical, I am bound up by invisible chains of flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about these horrific events that took place in my life. But despite these fears and feelings, I hear that You came to set the captives free, (IS. 61:1), and that You do not expect me to do this in my own strength, but by Your Spirit, (Zeph. 4:6), and as I confess these faults to others I can be healed, (JMS 5:16).

By faith I thank You that You will never leave me or forsake me, (DEUT. 31:6), You are with me in the waters, and in the midst of the fire, (IS. 43:2-3), and even when I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, (PS. 23:4). You are compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love towards me, (PS. 103:8). I am forever grateful that Your love for me is unconditional, and not based upon my behavior, (ROM. 5:8), and because You are with me, I can be strong, courageous, unafraid, and not discouraged, (JOSH. 1:9).

Help me, Holy Spirit to walk by faith, and not by sight, (2 COR. 5:7), comfort me, (JN. 14:26), remind me that when I feel weak, You remain strong, (Joel 3:10), empower me, (Acts 1:8), pray the will of God through me, (ROM. 8:26-27), teach me to edify and build myself up by praying in Your Spirit, (1 COR. 14:4).

Help me to renew my mind with Your healing Word, (2 COR. 4:16), to take every thought captive, (2 COR. 2:5), to choose my thoughts with care, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (PHIL. 4:8, KJV).

Enlighten me to Your truth, so that I can be free, (JN. 8:32). Help me to understand that I do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against demonic forces, (EPH. 6:12), and that it was satan who attacked me and my loved ones, to steal, to kill, and to destroy, (JN. 10:10), but You have given me all of Your authority over satan and his wicked works, (Luke 10:19). Teach me how to put on the full armor of God, so I am prepared for future battles with him, (EPH. 6: 10-18).

When I feel I can’t go on, “Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth, I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” (PS. 61:1-2, NKJV). Quicken to my spirit that, “Yet in all these things I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me.” (ROM. 8:37, NKJV). Give me the strength to always “Choose life”, (DEUT. 30:19), and to take comfort in the fact that You, Jesus came to give me life, and life in abundance. (JN. 10:10). In Jesus’ name, I pray this healing confession of faith from PTSD, amen.
