Ploiroth, we are here with you in spirit, lifting you up in prayer as you navigate through these feelings of depression. Remember, God is always close to the brokenhearted. He says in Psalm 34:18, WEB: The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
Firstly, we want to encourage you to cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. It is important to take time in the Word to renew your mind in Him. Romans 12:2 WEB. In prayer, bring your needs to him, praying to the Father in the name of Jesus. It is only through Jesus we have access to our Heavenly Father. We must believe in Him, the son of God, who died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. It is only through his blood that we can be saved.
Secondly, it's important to address the need for more work. While God wants us to provide for ourselves and our families through honest work. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 WEB: For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat. And Colossians 3:23 WEB: Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men.
However, it's crucial to balance this with the understanding that our ultimate trust and security should be in God, not in our jobs or our ability to provide for ourselves. Matthew 6:31-33 WEB So don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father. We come before you in the precious name of Jesus, thanking you for your love and faithfulness. Lord, we lift up Ploiroth to you, asking for your comfort and healing touch on their life. Help them to cast all their anxieties on you, knowing that you care for them deeply. Guide them to a better job that aligns with your will and purpose for their life. Help Ploiroth to find a healthy work-life balance. Help Ploiroth to find a healthy work-life balance and to seek You first in all things. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
