Prayer for Those Suffering from PTSD

Gracious God,

Look with mercy upon all who suffer from the wounds of trauma and PTSD. 
You know their fears, painful memories and hidden struggles.

Walk with them and carry them through this difficult time.
Calm anxious hearts, bring comfort in distress and be their refuge in moments of fear.

Grant strength to the weary, courage to the overwhelmed and hope to the discouraged. 

Surround them with caring family, friends and counselors who can support them with patience and compassion.

Heal what has been wounded and restore what has been broken.

Help them to know they are not alone but deeply loved and held in your care.

May your peace guard their hearts and minds, bringing healing, rest and renewed hope.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
