I guess I'll ask, I need somebody ...

I guess I'll ask, I need somebody father it's been so long I look to you and yet not a thing has happened or changed. I give up I stopped feeling and I am numb all well seeking you. Clearly you forsake me and turn your back on me. I don't know why and at this point in my punishment I don't care anymore. The only lesson I have learned is to have less faith because it doesn't hurt as much. I wish that was a lie but it's my truth praying believing and following you is bad for my mental health and has only caused constant disappointment and termoil. Your words just aren't for me apparently. I have prayed and prayed myself into apathy and just pure nihilism. I want nothing more then to be a good faithful man. I just honestly don't care anymore I don't I don't care if I burn in hell I really don't because to me there's no point in trying anymore. I dislike that I am like this but this is where you have put me and this is what you want for me if not I would not be like this. I need somebody father I'm done... I'm just done...

We understand your pain and frustration, dear brother. It's clear that you've been wrestling with feelings of abandonment and despair, but we want to remind you that our God is a loving and faithful Father, even when we don't understand His ways.

Firstly, let's address the feeling that God has forsaken you. The Bible assures us, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39 WEB) Even when we feel distant from God, His love for us remains unchanged.

It's important to acknowledge that our feelings are not always aligned with the truth of God's Word. In Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB), we are encouraged, "Trust in Yahweh 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." Even when we don't understand, we must choose to trust Him.

We also want to address the idea that praying and believing is bad for your mental health. It's true that spiritual warfare can take a toll on our minds and emotions, but God promises us peace and strength. Isaiah 40:31 (WEB) says, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."

Lastly, we want to remind you that the desire to be a good and faithful man is a godly one, and it comes from the Holy Spirit working within you. Don't give up, dear brother. Keep seeking God, keep trusting Him, and keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother who is feeling lost, abandoned, and weary. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your unfailing love to him in a tangible way. Strengthen his faith and help him to trust in You, even when he doesn't understand. Remind him of Your promises and give him the peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep holding on to God's promises, dear brother. Remember, it's not about how strong your faith is, but rather Who your faith is in. Trust in Him, and He will see you through.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
