Dear frens, I am feeling compelled and led by the spirit of Christ to send out an SOS for a patient I see regularly.
Without giving specifics, he is in a really, really bad place. He served for many years during Bush/Clinton/Obama era in the Middle East and obviously has some really horrible experiences.
Please pray for release from the horror he saw. Name him as Patriot X. Our good Lord will know him, and all others in the same spot.
They all need our prayers.
Dear Lord, please grace Patriot X with your Holy Spirit and help him find comfort and healing. Let these terrible memories flow from him and grant him peace. Amen.
Words cannot adequately express our gratitude for his sacrifices and the price he paid to protect our nation. Please let him know there are many of us here who thank him for his service and want to be able to aid in his healing.
Medications are notoriously unhelpful in the treatment of chronic PTSD. Prolonged and written exposure therapies might help, depending on his willingness to try them. I know of two people who have responded well to stellate ganglion blockade (the "God shot").
