Self Harm

Last year 26,270 females and 11,656 males aged under 25 were admitted to hospitals in England due to self-harm.  Self-harm is a growing problem within our society, spare a thought for these lost individuals.

"Loving Savior, please see that those who are self-harming, the young and the lost, seek help lord.  Let their underlying causes be revealed lord, so that they can get the help they need to press on with their lives and prevent all of their outward and internal agony. Amen."

Mental Health and Stigma

Mental Health issues are often targeted with harsh stigma and a lot of misunderstanding.  So many people suffer in society as a part of this and live partially or completely in the shadows.  Spare a thought for these individuals and help banish such negativity within society.

"Loving Savior, we pray that the stigma which surrounds mental illness will diminish, so that it is better understood, and sufferers will I find it easier to admit their need and to accept help from family, friends, employers, GPs and other people in their lives. Amen." - Care

World Mental Health Day

Today is World Mental Health Day.  Take time to pray and spare a thought for those who suffer from mental health issues.  Those of us that are thrown constantly into the bleakest of darkness, driven to suicide and lost without hope.  Take time to prey that they can emerge from the darkness into the light, that they seek aid, through counseling, medication and the care, love and companionship of others.

"Father, we pray that you can offer guidance to those who are lost in the darkness.  Allow them to find your light and seek the assistance they need to recover from their depression. Lord let others find them and show them love and care lord.  So that they can recover and find happiness once again. Amen."

Care Prayer Theme: Mental Health

One in four adults suffer from mental health issues.  The majority of people do not seek help and carry on with their lives in fear of the stigma that is attached to mental health.  Spare some time to pray for these people, in an attempt to help ease their suffering.

"Father, we pray for the one in four adults who, at some point in their lives, are prone to mental illness: anxiety, depression, neurotic and psychotic disorders, self-harming and behavior problems. May they know Your healing peace and comfort. Amen." - Care
