Please pray for a student I work with who is experiencing mental illness. She desperately wants to be validated, referring to herself as an idiot that can’t break the pattern of failure,; but I know she is a beautiful person with much to offer the world–please help her understand this. I ask that her eyes can be opened to the ways that God is comforting her and that everyone who works with her can display patience and compassion.

I am a college student who has experienced many mental illnesses, including Borderline Personality Disorder, anorexia, depression, anxiety, self harm, and a suicide attempt. Please let your student know that things do get better! I am praying for her! For someone seeking validation, I would suggest Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Praying that your student will see herself the way that God sees her and that everyone who works will her will treat her with patience and compassion.
