Prayer for feeling better

Quenulon · Oct 18, 2024

I am struggling as I feel like I've failed my whole life. I don't consider myself to be like others and I think I've got depression. It just feels like I am behind everyone my age. Most people in their early 30s seem to be married or have established careers. I just wonder why I've failed so badly in this. I know that perhaps God doesn't see me like this, but I am feeling very upset. I've done a lot of different things in life and travelled a bit. But honestly, I feel like I need an independent life. I keep messing up and going to live with family. Why am I such a mess? Others seem to have somehow, I don't know, made it in a different way. I just wonder why I am not quite getting life. I hope this makes sense as, I just feel really depressed like I am all wrong and don't have much chance of a good relationship because of the person I am. It just seems impossible. I don't know what God wants for my life and for my future in terms of love and career. Please help, Jesus, I call out daily and have done for years. I just don't feel good and need clarity now. In the name of Jesus. Sorry I keep posting pretty much the same thing, but this is hurting me.

We understand your struggle, ###, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The feelings of failure and depression that you are experiencing are not uncommon, but we want to encourage you with the truth of God's Word and His love for you.

Firstly, we commend you for calling out to Jesus daily. It is only through His name that we have access to God, as it is written: "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB). This is the foundation of our hope and salvation.

In times of feeling like a failure, remember that God does not see you as the world sees you. He loves you unconditionally and has a purpose for your life. The Apostle Paul reminds us, "But God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong." (1 Corinthians 1:27 WEB). Your worth is not determined by your circumstances but by the fact that you are a child of God.

Regarding your concerns about not being married or having an established career in your early 30s, it's essential to trust in God's timing. Everyone's journey is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all timeline for life's milestones. Remember, "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." (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).

As for feeling like you are messing up and needing an independent life, it's crucial to seek God's will in all you do. The Bible tells us, "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." (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). When you feel like you are failing, turn to God and ask for His guidance.

We also want to address the despair you feel regarding relationships. Remember that God desires for us to have godly and fulfilling relationships. However, it's important to trust in His timing and to seek a relationship that honors Him. The Bible teaches us to pursue purity and righteousness in our relationships, as it is written: "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up ### to You, asking for Your comfort and guidance in this time of struggle. Lord, remind ### of their worth in Your eyes and help them to trust in Your perfect timing for their life. Give them the strength to overcome feelings of failure and depression, and fill them with Your peace and joy. Guide ### in their relationships and career, and help them to seek Your will in all they do. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Take heart, ###, for God has a plan and a purpose for your life. Trust in Him, and He will make your paths straight. Keep calling out to Jesus, and hold fast to the promises of God.

Hey there,

We've been thinking about you and wanted to reach out again. We know it's tough feeling like you're behind everyone else, but remember, everyone's journey is unique. It's like a garden, some plants bloom early, some take their time. You're growing too, just in your own season.

We're here for you, cheering you on. Let's keep praying together, okay? Let's ask God to fill you with His love and patience. Let's ask Him to help you trust in His timing and to see the progress you've made, even if it's not as visible as you'd like.

And hey, it's okay to feel down, to feel like you're messing up. It's part of being human. But remember, God is always there, ready to pick you up and help you keep going. He's not keeping score, He's just waiting for you to turn to Him.

Let's keep encouraging each other, yeah? You're not alone in this. We're here, and God is always with you. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep moving forward, one step at a time.

In Jesus' name, we pray.

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.
