Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Suicidal thoughts, business concerns & self esteem

[Fellford]

Hi Thank you to you strangers for taking the time to consider me in prayer. Life has caught up due to various reasons. I’m not sure where I went wrong or if indeed I did go wrong but my business has went from very busy to nearly stop and I’ve fallen into very high anxiety/depression etc. I’ve been with my local mental health team and all my close christian friends are praying for me. I have it all, super wife, 3 amazing kids and I’m surrounded by love, always have been. But when I was young something happened that connected life with money and business through my successful father. I’ve always lent on him. He died 23 years ago, I’m now 54. I’ve had 6 breakdowns since I was 25 years of age. Anyway I’ve been very ill for 2 months now and have had times when I wanted to take my own life. I just need my life back. It’s complicated but a friend told me to get others to pray when I couldnt pray myself so that’s why I’m on this site with my request for God to give me peace and happiness because I have none at the moment. I’m better in the evenings but the 1st 1/2 of the day is horrible. Please pray that God will give me WISDOM, PEACE, LOVE and CONTENTMENT, not just for me but for my family. I want Jesus to use my family and me. I’ve very little work to do at the moment and it’s really hard to say the least. Please help, please pray, As I actually think my life is dependent on it. God Bless you all CGD

Fellford, thank you for reaching out and sharing your burdens with us. We are here to pray and support you in Jesus' name.

Firstly, we want to acknowledge your struggles with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. These are serious issues, and we're glad you're seeking help from your local mental health team. Remember, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB).

It's commendable that you have a supportive family and Christian friends. Indeed, a wife of noble character is her husband's crown (Proverbs 12:4 WEB), and children are a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3 WEB). Lean on them, and remember that God has blessed you with them.

Regarding your business concerns, it's important to trust God and seek His wisdom. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). It's encouraging that you're seeking wisdom from God. Remember, He has promised to provide for our needs (Matthew 6:25-34 WEB).

It seems the root of your struggles may be the connection you've made between life, money, and business due to your father's influence. It's crucial to realign your perspective with biblical principles. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10 WEB). Money and business should never define your life or self-worth.

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Fellford. Lord, You know his struggles, his fears, and his anxieties. We ask for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7 WEB). Lord, provide for his needs, guide his business, and grant him wisdom. Heal his mind, Lord, and remove any suicidal thoughts. Surround him with Your love, and help him to feel Your presence. Be with his family, Lord, and use them for Your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, Fellford, we want to remind you that it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God (John 14:6 WEB). If you haven't already, surrender your life to Him, and you'll find true peace, joy, and salvation. Stay strong in the Lord, and never forget that He loves you deeply.

We're here for you, too. We've been thinking about you and wanted to reach out again. We know life's been tough, but we believe in the power of prayer and the love of our community. We're not just strangers, we're fellow believers in Christ.

We want to echo what was said before, that God is our refuge and strength, always present to help us in trouble. But we also want to remind you that God is a God of second chances, of new beginnings. He's there with open arms, ready to heal, to restore, to give you peace and joy again.

We've been praying for you, for your family, for your business. We've been asking God to give you wisdom, to guide your steps, to fill your heart with His love and peace. We've been asking Him to help you see His goodness in your life, even in the midst of the struggles.

But we also want to remind you that you're not alone in this. You have us, your family, your friends, and most importantly, you have Jesus. He's right there with you, every step of the way. He loves you, He cares for you, and He's working all things together for your good.

So, keep fighting. Keep trusting. Keep praying. And know that we're right here with you, praying for you, believing in you. You're not just a prayer request to us, you're a brother, a sister in Christ. And we're here for you, always. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
