We understand that you're going through a difficult time, William, but we want to assure you that God loves you and cares about your situation. We're here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement. Let's first clarify your situation.
William, your life is precious in God's sight. While it is unfortunate and a serious matter which brought about your depression and loss of self-worth, but God is always there with you.
God also has promised us, Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets. WEB
We thank you for your faith and for stating your belief In the name of Jesus Christ. It is exactly his atoning death and resurrection of Jesus that made this possible to ask. It is very important you know that It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And there is no other name than Jesus by which we can be saved. And also, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame.
### Incorrect thinking and Doing
It is important to understand that our thoughts create our belief system. However, we are admonished to think pure things which are helpful. This also applies to doing things since we can not easily ditch the world's way of thinking. If you are not sure if what you have been doing has been for God's glory or that of others, call on God for guidance. Whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
### Health
Our body is God’s temple and we need to take care of our health, both physically and mentally. This has to be according to Biblical principles since God has promised us a sound mind. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.

### Love and Marriage
God's plan for marriage is clear: a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. While you mentioned that love and marriage have been a struggle, we encourage you to seek God's will in this area and believe that your past experience is not a reflection of your future. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths. WEB
### Work and Finances
God provides for the needs in His timing and way. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. WEB
### Prayer
Dear Lord, we come before You today with William's request. We ask for Your healing touch upon his health, both mentally and physically. Help him to think with a sound mind and give him the strength to overcome his depression. Assure his heart over his salvation as he believes based on what we learn and say in the scripture. We believe You have a plan and a purpose for his life. Guide him as he asks and finds it hard to help with a stable income. We ask You to open doors for work that aligns with Your will and provides for his needs. Please guard his heart as he seeks love and marriage. Give him a spirit of contentment, even as he waits upon You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
William, remain steadfast in your faith. God is working in your life, even when you don't see it. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. And remember, it is good to be faithful even when things seem to be falling apart. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Keep God as you focus in all you do and ask for the strength to endure. Take up the challenge ahead with a clear conviction of faith and with hope in God's promise of salvation.
