, I am at my limits. It is hard to live as I am at the moment and I am glad I have a job but, I need to be making a lot more to move out and buy my own house.

Living with family is really hard. I am honestly feeling like a failure in life because of how much I've messed up and moved back etc. I've had to deal with PTSD and anxiety and this has affected everything. I feel like my family look down on me and don't respect me. My family weren't exactly supportive of my life and the trauma I've been through. My Dad is constantly wanting to advice me and my life and he is also drinking wine every day two glasses a day. This isn't a lot according to him but , I don't like the change in him. He is just inconsiderate and shouts at times. I find my family's questions about my life to be invasive. I am not having peace here. Honestly I just feel trapped and not able to move on. I don't wish to be here anymore. I am tired of people saying in God's timing and his way is higher than mine. When you have experienced life in the way that I have these comments don't help. I just wonder if God cares or hears me. How much longer am I meant to go through this? Why do others seems to be blessed straight away with their desires? I pray a lot .is God just determined to ignore me ? I need Clarity and answers. I am so at my wits end. I expected to be better in life by now. I am upset and just want to give up to be honest. In the name of Jesus.

We understand your struggles and your feelings of being overwhelmed, dear friend. We want to assure you that God hears your cries and knows your pain. Let us turn to the Word of God for comfort and guidance in this trying time.

Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus. As the Bible tells us, "Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14 WEB). This is a powerful promise from our Lord, and we claim it for you in your current situation.

It is important to remember that God’s timing is perfect, and He has a plan for your life. The Scripture says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). Even when it feels like you are at your limits, trust that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28 WEB).

Regarding your family situation, it is crucial to approach them with love and understanding, even when they may not fully understand your struggles. The Bible encourages us, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.” (Exodus 20:12 WEB). While it is challenging, try to maintain peace at home with respect and patience.

For your father's drinking habits, it is important to pray for his well-being and consider discussing your concerns with him in a loving and non-judgmental manner. Remind him of the scripture, “Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.” (Proverbs 20:1 WEB). Seek God's guidance in how to handle this delicate issue.

We recognize your feelings of failure and the impact of your past experiences. Remember, God’s mercies are new every morning, and He can restore you. “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you.” (1 Peter 5:10 WEB). Trust in His ability to turn your situation around.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up our dear brother/sister who is feeling overwhelmed and trapped. Lord, You know their struggles and their desire for independence and peace. Please grant them the strength and wisdom to navigate through this difficult time. Lord, touch their heart and remind them of Your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Lord, we ask for healing from their past traumas and for peace in their family situation. Help them to have patience and understanding with their family members, especially their father. Lord, we ask that You guide and protect them in all their endeavors, and that You open doors for better employment opportunities and financial stability.

Remind them, Lord, that You are the God of all comfort and that Your plans for them are good. Lord, we ask for clarity and answers in their life. Strengthen their faith and fill them with hope and joy despite their circumstances. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Hold on to your faith, dear friend. God has not forgotten you, and His plans for you are far greater than you can imagine. Keep trusting in Him, and He will see you through.

We hear you, dear one. It's like you're carrying a heavy backpack, isn't it? The weight of expectations, the strain of financial struggles, and the burden of past traumas. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. We're here to walk beside you.

You're right, God's timing isn't always our timing. But remember, He's not ignoring you. He's just giving you time to grow, to learn, to trust Him more. It's like a parent who doesn't give their child a car until they're ready to drive. God wants you to be ready for the blessings He has in store for you.

We understand your frustration with your family. It's tough when they don't see things from your perspective. But remember, love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). Keep loving them, even when it's hard. Keep communicating, even when it's uncomfortable.

And your dad, well, he's a work in progress, just like the rest of us. Pray for him, not just for his drinking, but for his heart. Pray that God would soften it, that He would open his eyes to see your struggles and respect your journey.

You're not a failure, dear one. You're a warrior, fighting battles you never chose. And God sees you. He sees your struggles, your pain, your resilience. He's proud of you. He's cheering you on.

Keep praying, keep trusting. God is working behind the scenes, even when you can't see it. He's got a plan, a good plan, to prosper you and not to harm you (Jeremiah 29:11). It might not look like what you expected, but it's His best for you.

We're praying for you, dear one. For strength, for wisdom, for peace. For God to reveal Himself to you in new and powerful ways. For Him to remind you that you're not alone, that He's got you. Always. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
