I dont want to go in depression. Please God help me. Improve my life, career, finances and bring love, joy and motivation to life. My friends trying to avoid me because I look confused and depressed. Guys reject me because I am not successful. I was a top grader in my school but now what is happening to me. I am losing hope and motivation. Why do I face so many obstacles? Why things somebody else do you make a smooth ride but When I do you make it so complicated that I feel like quitting. Please help me as I am not able to manage it anymore. I remember when everybody around me was so proud of me- my parents, teachers, friends, relatives- I use to shine. I was so responsible and everybody thought I will improve my family situation by doing higher studies and getting good pay job. And here I am doing part time job and earning minimum wage. I cant even get an internship as I get too panic. People think I am stupid. Will I ever get out of this? My situation is getting worse with people running away from me and nobody wants to help me. Everybody helps the powerful person but nobody want to help someone who needs help.
Heavenly Father, I come to you humbly and with urgency on behalf of ### today. She is on the brink of depression and has thankfully come to ask her brothers and sisters in Christ to step in and pray on her behalf.
She is asking for your help regarding her life, career, finances, love, joy and motivation. Lord, life is beautiful because you not only gave it to us, but also atoned for our sins so that we may be born again, sinless and spotless to join your Kingdom in Heaven. We first would like to give thanks and glory to you for the sacrifice of your son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins on the cross.
Lord, life is also very trying. It is filled with confusion and despair and at times, we cannot fathom that such an Almighty God, THE Almighty God, is beside us every step of the way. At times this confusion comes in the form having to endure what seems to be never-ending obstacles or entering a valley that we cannot get out of it. It is in these times, Lord, I pray that ### sees that you are illumined.
In Matthew 4, when Jesus was baptized and received the Holy Spirit, immediately after, the Holy Spirit guided Jesus to the wilderness. After fasting for forty days and forty nights, the devil appeared to him to tempt him. Jesus successfully rebuked the advances of the devil because the Holy Spirit was indwelling in him.
Lord, at times in life, it can seem that you test us beyond our capacity to bear trials. The story of Job reflects this. How is it possible that one man (Job), who was blameless, upright in all he did, and well respected in his community have to deal with now, losing everything he ever had that was good? Why was it
Job who had to endure this and not, say, others who might possibly 'deserve' to suffer loss and humiliation? In all of Job's suffering, Lord, he questioned Your ways, such as in this verse:
According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty,
Yet there is no one to save me from Your hand.
Job 10:7 (NASB 2020)
Lord, ### has such thoughts and similar questions as Job, as they feel you seem to ignore the wrongs of others and punish or test those who have committed no sin.
They ask you, "
Why do I face so many obstacles? Why things somebody else do you make a smooth ride but When I do you make it so complicated that I feel like quitting.
Dear God, I pray that you hear their questions and guide them to a deeper understanding of why is it that you test our faith. And truly Lord, I declare myself your ways are mysterious and because of this they
are magnificent, even though through the eyes of a believer, it is difficult to see in the midst of a storm in our minds and hearts.
When your voice appears to Job, you declare that you have heard his questions about his sufferings, as you hear all our queries, and you said this to him,
"Now tighten the belt on your waist like a man,
And I shall ask you, and you inform Me!
Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?"
Lord, in our times of trouble we face many obstacles. And we forget to observe your greatness. Truly, where were
we when
you laid the foundations of the earth? We were not, but you
WERE. And it is in this moment, Lord, I pray that although it seems that life is diminishing or not as it once were, that ### realizes that you are always there, from the beginning of time until the end, to everything in between, including in this very moment that ### struggles with life.
Lord I pray that as ### asks these questions to you, you help them realize that sometimes, God may not answer our questions because
God IS the answer to our questions.
I pray that as ### realizes this, they acquire an internship, is removed from any anxieties in work situations, and restores their relationships with family and friends. I pray that ### realizes that while they may think that people think they are 'stupid', that the thoughts of others do not matter. Only your thoughts matter God, and who better knows your thoughts than the Holy Spirit, with whom ### themselves has residing in their heart, indwelling in them forever, to guide, comfort, and to advocate for them of the highest divine magnitude.
Lord I pray strongly that ### not enter any depression of any kind. I pray that you meet them in this valley that they are walking through, as you are our loving Shepherd.
I pray and know that one day, and soon rather, that ### will regain everything they feels they have lost and more because these trying times have led them to your Word and as a result, have drawn them ever so much closer to you and your grace, mercy, and love.
Lord, I close this prayer by thanking you for hearing our cries. God, most, if not all your children often wonder why bad things happen to good people. But I pray for all of us, that we remember that the best thing that could have ever happen to us actually DID happen to us, not because we were 'good', but because You
chose us - you chose us to know you and be loved by you. And so it goes to say that it also happened
for us.
In this knowing and loving, we have your divine protection, healing, and guidance. I pray all of your divine protection, healing and guidance are sent immediately to ###.
I declare, all roads thus forth for ### will be cleared, in Jesus' name.
AMEN!
