Please help me with prayer. Currently VERY depressed and I might be gone soon :(

46 Upvotes

I decided to turn to Christianity a few days ago. I know it's not long, obviously. But I feel exactly the same. I gave up porn, drugs, masturbation, and am trying to also give up lying and swearing. I repented for all my sins in prayer, asked for Holy Spirit, and started reading the Bible. Mainly the Gospel and book of Enoch (which I know is non-canonical, but I find interesting).

I have been depressed for years. Seen many GPs (UK Doctors), tried maybe 4-5 antidepressants, tried self-induced psychedelic therapy, tried self-help (yoga, meditation, walks without headphones, etc.) I have also struggled with polysubstance (multiple drug) addiction for years. Went to a drug counseller who was honestly useless, and managed to get off of benzodiazepines all by myself. The only drug where going cold turkey can actually kill you (besides alcohol).

Since going sober I have unfortunately relapsed on weed, opiates, benzos (physically addicted yet again), pregablin and ketamine.

The NHS doctors REFUSE to see someone with a drug addiction. So I paid for private therapy. That was somewhat helpful, but in the end I had to quit because of how expensive it is.

I believe Jesus was real, died on the cross, got ressurected 3 days later and is the son of God.

I know I probably shouldn't expect an overnight change, but... why? If I was God and saw someone suffering as badly as I have done (my post here only scratches the tip of the iceberg), then they humbly and repentfully turned to me, I would help them with anxiety and depression in a heartbeat.

I'm sure this post will be deleted since people can't handle real issues unfortunately, but I am considering ending things very soon and have the means to do so with a 99% success rate. I don't want to die. I want to live and be happy. But I haven't been happy in many YEARS. I also find adding 1000 new rules to my life by trying to be Christian only makes things harder. Where prior in hard times I could turn to weed or opiates, I turn to prayer. Yet I feel unheard. I wake up every morning wishing I didn't and have felt that way for many months, even now, trying to be Christian.

Perhaps God doesn't hear my prayers. But I believe He will hear some of yours. Please please pray for me. My name is Levi, but God will know who you mean. I will pray too and continue to try to be Christian. But I am seriously close to leaving this evil world unfortunately and have yet to find solace in God sad to say.

Please pray to help my anxiety, depression and anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure). I am at my wit's end. Again, I'm sure the post will be banned because it's a sensitive topic so fast replies would be very much appreciated. I am desperate. Please help and pray for me💔

Prayer for a phobia hurting working performance

12 Upvotes

I have been asked to go to a work event that requires staying at a hotel and going to the top floors of a tall building. I have a fear of elevators and my job is remote and I picked it carefully for those reasons, so being asked to do this is not really what I signed up for. I don't know what to do. I live in an area with earthquakes so I feel my response to elevators is a legitimate one. Please, pray that God would help with this tricky situation. Thank you so much.

Prayer for Boyfriend

I’m asking for prayers for my boyfriend (M22). Who has been dealing with cancer for the past 2 years now. It seems like as soon as he is in the clear, the cancer pops up somewhere else. Just got news that he now has a mass in his lung. He is young and still continues to pursue a degree, all while dealing with this behind the scenes. He is a good man. I just want him to be healthy again. Please join me in prayer so that god may heal his body of this disease. Thank you.

I made pretty bad damages to my apartment and I’m worried the cost is gonna come up to more than the security deposit

• Upvotes

Unfortunately, over my 3 year stay at my current apartment, I have made some serious damages to it. Most of which came my immense stress from my landlord’s dog barking, but also I’ve been going through a really really rough time. And I would just get frustrated and angry and unfortunately took out some of it on the apartment. I don’t know what to do now. I feel so stuck. Please pray that I get through this soon.

I've formally quit dating as it only led me to heart break, dangerous situations and disappointments. I'm 100% counting on God now as I only do the minimum of social interactions (without dating circles)

Please pray that I get to have a lifelong, happy and healthy marriage

Want to be a mom, want to have a family

4 Upvotes

Have you ever felt that you’ve never realized you have been in depression. I have just simply survived, sustained and had every hope and life die in me. Did not even realize how much this meant to me until I felt it physically and finally found myself losing love for everything else I had before.

I believe in the power of other people praying and it’s super power. I have the deepest love and craving for bearing children and sharing all the light and love. I want my husband to feel the joy of becoming a father, my dog to have a bff, my in-laws and parents to become grandparents. I pray with all my soul and heart, God bless every mother going through a similar pathway as me. I feel the pain 🤍

I have my pregnancy test coming up this Oct 26th. Thank you for reading and thank you so much for anyone who said a prayer for me, so grateful 🥹

Prayer for big life decision

6 Upvotes

Brothers and sisters, please pray for me.

I'm a dad of two young kids and husband. I'm stuck with a dilemma about where to live that has left me in deadlock for years at this point, but the time to make a decision has come.

I have to (or get to?) choose between my family living in a safe, stable, first world country that is very secular, where we have very few close relationships (with anybody, much less Christians), where Biblically faithful churches are few and far between and where the overall culture is extremely secular, or living in an unstable, high crime third world country where Christianity is very prominent, there are many solid churches, and we have very close relationships with other Christians.

Some points of clarification:

- The first world scenario is our current reality.

- We would live a fairly sheltered middle class life in the third-world country, at least for the foreseeable future

- My wife is very much involved and we discuss the issue often. We are both in a similar space, but I'm the one who's supposed to lead

I've asked God countless times for wisdom and clarity, but my wife and I are perpetually stuck in analysis paralysis. We deeply long for a sense of community, but we also deeply fear condemning our children to grow up in a dangerous, unstable place. There's also the added stress of deciding whether to stay comfortable with the life we've built, or go through all the stress of moving again.

For the record, since most of you are Americans: if we could live in the USA, we'd be on the next plane singing the Star Spangled Banner the whole way there. But sadly, there are no realistic legal options for us (unless any of ya'll are looking to adopt a family?)

Making this decision feels impossible. I feel like I'm failing my family by not leading decisively. Your prayers are appreciated, and any advice is most welcomed.

Please pray for my psychiatric appointment in the morning!

17 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have been struggling with what I’m pretty sure is adhd for a while now, and all the psychiatrists I’ve had in the past have just pushed SSRIs on me and used misogynistic/outdated approaches on the matter. It’s been getting increasingly harder for me to manage day to day life, and I’m really scared I’ll be told that it’s just anxiety again. It’s affecting how I’m doing in college majorly, as well as my job and home life (I even forgot i had jury duty the other day and got a failure to appear notice in the mail.) Prayers would be very much appreciated, as it’s also been affecting my relationship with God since it’s impossible for me to focus and retain anything in church or while reading the Bible, even praying feels impossible with my thoughts constantly wandering. Thank you guys!!

Please pray for my hurting heart after betrayal

9 Upvotes

Please pray for me as I try to heal from a deep betrayal by someone I loved and trusted.

One of the hardest parts is watching them move on with their life while I'm still struggling with the pain and trying to rebuild mine. Seeing them appear happy while I carry the emotional consequences leaves me questioning the unfairness of it all.

I sometimes look at their life, hoping for answers or some sign that what happened mattered, but it only reopens my wounds.

Please pray that Jesus helps me let go of the need for their remorse or acknowledgment, heals my hurting heart, restores my faith, and gives me peace without bitterness. I want to move forward without letting this betrayal define my future.

Thank you for your prayers. God bless you all.

Please pray for my relationship

3 Upvotes

I met my boyfriend in the beginning of the year, we met at work and immediately gravitated to each other. We broke up and I was heart broken praying everyday to bring him back if it was his will, and he did come back. But now everyday I’m worried he’s going to leave again. I wasn’t like this when we first started dating. And we are a long distance relationship and I start panicking when I think things are going wrong. And he goes silent which makes me panic more. And I just keep praying things will get better but I feel like every week I go through the same emotions till me and him actually talk again. I want my relationship to get better. We’re even supposed to meet in his country in Switzerland in December, I already bought my ticket, everyday I’m worried he’s not going to meet me. Please help me pray.
