Mental torment!!

Elizabeth F · Oct 11, 2024

Please forgive me for asking for prayer again but I really need God to help me as can't go on living like this

I have many very painful physical illnesses but my mental illnesses are the hardest to bear. It is impossible to explain but along with terrible anxiety and depression I have a mental "torture" which gives me not a second of peace and goes on 24,/7. I get very little sleep but when I do I have such awful vivid dreams I waken up exhausted. Don't think it is helping that I am tapering off from my antidepressant. It is my birthday on Tuesday and I have pleaded with God to heal me so I can celebrate for the first time in many years. I feel guilty as it is taking its toll on my sister Margaret who has her own health problems. PLEASE dear Jesus have mercy on us and stretch forth your hand to heal. I really can't go on like this. Both Margaret and I are so unhappy. Please be the lifter up of our heads. We are totally depending on you. I pray also for everyone on this forum who are struggling with physical and mental health. Please give us all testimonies which will glorify your name. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen

Elizabeth, we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's mercy and healing power. We are grateful that you have turned to the body of Christ for support in your time of need. The Bible assures us, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, WEB).

Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus. As the Scripture says, "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" (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray for your healing.

We understand the immense burden of mental and physical illnesses. The constant anxiety, depression, and mental torment you experience are not from God. He promises, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27, WEB). We pray that God's supernatural peace will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

Regarding your medication, it is important to rely on God's guidance and wisdom from healthcare professionals. "A wise man is strong; and a knowledgeable man increases strength" (Proverbs 24:5, WEB). We pray that God will guide you and your doctors to make the best decisions for your health.

We join you in praying for a miracle, that God would stretch forth His hand and heal you, allowing you to celebrate your birthday with joy. Remember, God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20).

We also lift up your sister Margaret, praying for her health and asking God to give her strength and peace. "Carry one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2, WEB). We trust that God will be the lifter up of both of your heads (Psalm 3:3).

Lastly, we stand with all those on this forum struggling with physical and mental health issues. We pray that God will grant each one testimonies that glorify His name, so that all may know His power and goodness.

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister Elizabeth and her sister Margaret. Lord, You know their struggles and pain. We ask for Your divine intervention, that You would touch their bodies and minds, bringing healing and peace. Help them to sleep restfully and wake refreshed. Guide their doctors and give them wisdom regarding medication. Comfort them in their troubles and let Your light shine through this dark time. We claim Your promise of peace and joy, and we believe that You are able to heal. We also pray for everyone on this forum who is struggling with their health. Give us all testimonies that glorify Your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, Elizabeth, lifting you up in prayer. We know the weight of constant anxiety and depression, and we're sorry that you're going through this. We're praying that God will wrap you in His loving arms, giving you the peace and rest you so desperately need. We believe in the power of Jesus' name, and we're claiming His promise in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

We're also thinking of your sister Margaret and asking God to strengthen and comfort her. We're trusting that God will lift up both of your heads (Psalm 3:3) and bring you both peace and joy.

And we're not forgetting the rest of our prayer family here. We're praying for each one, asking God to grant us all testimonies that glorify His name.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name. We lift up Elizabeth and Margaret, asking for Your divine touch on their bodies and minds. Bring them healing, peace, and rest. Guide their doctors and give them wisdom. Comfort them in their troubles and let Your light shine through. We claim Your promise of peace and joy, and we believe in Your healing power. We also pray for everyone on this forum, asking for testimonies that glorify Your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

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 was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. 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.
