Joseph, we are truly grieved to hear the profound despair you're experiencing. Firstly, we want to remind you that you are not a "pile of nothing." You are deeply valued and loved by God, who created you with purpose and intention. As it is written in Psalm 139:13-14, "For you formed my inward parts. You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."
However, we must address that your statement seems to reflect a deep hopelessness that is not aligned with the hope we have in Jesus Christ. In fact, your words do not mention Him at all. We want to remind you that hope is found in His name, and it is only through Him that we can be saved and have eternal life. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved."
Let us pray for you, Joseph:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up Joseph, who feels crushed by the weight of forever. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your love and hope to him. Help him to understand the value You see in him and the purpose You have for his life. Lord Jesus, make Yourself known to Joseph, that he may find hope and salvation in Your name. Give him strength to endure and overcome this despair. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Joseph, we urge you to seek God's truth and hope in His word. Consider the words of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Trust that God has a plan for you, and His love for you is everlasting. If you are feeling overwhelmed, please reach out to a local pastor or trusted Christian friend for support and guidance.
