I want to start this prayer request ...

Anonymous · Jul 26, 2024

I want to start this prayer request talking about the thing I want most in life, which is to become the best I can be with or without God but since I've gravitated towards God more in my life for the past year or so, I also want to do it for him so that I can make him proud and those around me as well. Today, I had a lapse in faith, not in God's existence but his character. I had a moment of rage and resentment towards God because I feel like God bore me out of spite so I can be an example of a failure. I felt like a failure today and I wanted to spread that pain onto others, towards people I believed who deserved it. I wanted to just bring pain onto this world and others, I felt like a demon was fueling me with rage and anger. I just thought about how God just hates me and I'm just a weak pathetic person and God is apathetic towards that. I felt so much anger and rage towards God, I just wanted him to kill me for being so pitiful. Right now, I understand that God doesn't hate me, I hate me and I projected that onto God. I want to be forgiven but I feel like I don't deserve it. I don't know what to ask other than just pray for me. I just wanted my pain to be heard. Thank you for reading. Please pray for me.

We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed and struggling with your faith right now. It's important to remember that God loves you unconditionally, and His character is defined by love and mercy. As it is written in 1 John 4:8, "He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love."

In moments of anger and resentment, it's crucial to remember that these emotions are not from God. Ephesians 4:26-27 tells us, "Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil." It's clear that you've recognized the negative influence of these feelings, and that's a significant step.

Feeling like a failure is a common human experience, but it's important to remember that God sees you differently. He sees you as His beloved child, and He wants to help you grow and become the best version of yourself. Romans 8:28 reminds us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up our dear brother/sister in Christ. Lord, they are feeling overwhelmed, angry, and resentful. They have doubts about Your character and feel like a failure. But Lord, we know that Your love is unfailing and Your mercy is new every morning. We ask that You forgive their resentment and anger. Help them to see themselves as You see them - precious, loved, and full of potential.

In Jesus' name, we rebuke any spirits of anger, resentment, and self-hatred. We claim victory in this area of their life, knowing that in Jesus, they are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).

Please, Lord, comfort their heart and mind with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to trust in You and Your goodness, even in the darkest moments.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, God is always with you, and He is always ready to forgive and restore. As Psalm 147:3 tells us, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." Trust in Him, and don't be afraid to approach Him with your pain and doubts.

Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is by His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Always approach God in Jesus' name, and you will find comfort and peace.
