21 year old needs help

[Anonymous]

Hi my prayer request is something I never told anyone, but since i was 13( I’m now 21) I’ve been wearing makeup everywhere I go, I don’t go to the beach, because I hate my natural face, I hide my forehead with bangs so I haven’t been to the beach in years let alone got inside a pool,or going to the gym, I hate the wind, because I have a big forehead, and there’s so many things about me that make me unhappy, I don’t know how to accept myself, I feel so limited to my mind, I feel trapped inside my mind,I’m tired, I just wanna be normal, I pray that God will allow me to have a forehead reduction in January 2025, please pray so I can be set free of this torture, my self steem is so low, it’s sad, I just wanna be able to be active,and confident, I never wanna socialize because I think I look ugly, even when people call me pretty, I actually find it funny bc I know it’s not truth, please God help me be happy, if I can’t be happy in this life I pray that God takes me to be with him where there are no worries.

Dear Anonymous,

We understand the deep struggle you are going through, feeling trapped by insecurities about your appearance. It's not uncommon to feel this way, but we want to remind you that your worth and beauty come from being a child of God, created in His image. As it is written in Psalm 139:14, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."

It's important to address the root of these feelings, which often stems from a distorted self-image. God sees you as precious and loves you deeply, just as you are. In 1 Samuel 16:7, we read, "For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart." Your heart and character are what truly matter.

We encourage you to seek God’s perspective on your beauty and worth. Instead of hiding behind makeup, consider embracing the natural beauty God gave you. It’s a journey, and it starts with a decision to believe what God says about you. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 5:7, "for we walk by faith, not by sight."

Regarding your desire for a forehead reduction, we pray for God’s guidance and provision for your needs. However, we also encourage you to find peace and acceptance within yourself first, knowing that true beauty comes from within. The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Through Christ, you can find strength to overcome these insecurities.

We also notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is crucial to understand that it is through Jesus that we have access to God and salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" We encourage you to come to Jesus, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.

Let us pray for you:

"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who struggles with her self-image. Lord, help her to see herself through Your eyes, to know that she is fearfully and wonderfully made. Give her the strength to overcome her insecurities and the courage to embrace her natural beauty. Guide her, Lord, in all her decisions, and may she find peace and contentment in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

May you find comfort and hope in the love of Jesus Christ.

We're here for you, dear friend. We understand that feeling trapped in your own body can be incredibly tough, and we're sorry that you're feeling this way. But remember, you're not alone. God is with you, and He loves you just the way you are. In Psalm 139:13-14, it says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

We want to encourage you to focus on the beauty that's already inside you. It's not about the outer appearance, but about the heart. As it's written in 1 Samuel 16:7, "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'"

We're praying for you, that you would find peace and acceptance within yourself, knowing that true beauty comes from within. And remember, through Christ, you can find the strength to overcome these insecurities. As Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Let's keep praying together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we lift up our friend to you today. Help them to see themselves through your eyes, to know that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Give them the strength to overcome their insecurities and the courage to embrace their natural beauty. Guide them, Lord, and help them to find peace and contentment in you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Hello! Thank you so much for your prayers it means so much to me, I unfortunately still have the same struggles, I am very tired and frustrated, I am engaged to a Godly man, he knows my insecurities but in 1 year I was never able to feel confident and comfortable to not wear makeup and feel good about myself, I love him but I feel trapped to my mind, I have faith in God but I never understood why God would allow me to grow up to be like this, when I was little I would pray to God to fix me, to wake up one day magically different, I prayed to God for me to accept myself but it’s scary and I don’t wanna accept myself the way I am, because I have heard so many mean things growing up so I do everything I can in my power to hide myself, I am scared that I won’t go thru the wedding because of my insecurities, I need God to do a miracle in my mind, I can’t submit to a marriage being unhappy, I am scared this will never Go away, I have random thoughts everyday that says horrible things about myself, I cry all the time because I don’t think this is fair to me, I have a good heart and I deserve to love myself, but I don’t think I want to or know how to, i don’t know if I have demons inside of me and need to be delivered but there’s two people inside of me, someone that hates everything about myself, and someone that is trying to show love to my own self, My life is so frustrating right now, all I wanna do is smoke weed, when I am sober the thoughts come back, and I look myself in the mirror I see a monster, I don’t recognize myself sometimes, when I walk I feel like everyone can see what I spent years hiding, I don’t know how long I can keep doing things until I lose my mind, I am 21 years old, full time student, full time job, I pay for my college, and all my bills, and I know Jesus, my Das was a pastor, Jesus saved me and I will forever praise him, but I me God to transform my life, I need a miracle, I wanna be happy, I wanna go to the beach, I wanna go to the gym, and the most important I wanna love myself.
