I've learned intercession includes being a steward of our strength on behalf of someone else. When the Lord has bestowed us with health, a sound mind, a certain faith in the Lord, or other such blessings, these are our season to pray for those who are struggling or weak in these areas. The Lord intercedes for us, saying His strength is made perfect in our weakness. He blesses us to be strong for others, knowing the day may come when we are weak ourselves and need someone to intercede. In this way we bear one another's burdens.
Brother Jim, my here written and ongoing verbal pray for your loved one, undergoing the trial of mental illness, is: “Dear God, thank you for your grace to us, through Christ. Please grant healing and recovery for brother Jim Richardson's loved one, who is enduring mental illness, according to your will. You know all the details. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. In Christ's name, amen.”
Jim, whoever is struggling with this illness of the mind, I am sorry. Sovereignty is not always easy to understand or accept. True compassion shows up when we are required to repeat ourselves with loved ones that suffer with such loss.

I will pray for your loved one and all who are afflicted with mental illness.
Just prayed. Thankful that God allows us to approach Him through prayer.
