We understand that you're feeling depressed and sad, Shabrim. We want to lift you up in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we commend you for ending your prayer "in Jesus' name." This is crucial because, as the Bible tells us, "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's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God's presence and power.
Now, let's address your feelings of depression and sadness. It's important to remember that we are not alone in our struggles. God is always with us, and He cares about our emotional well-being. The Psalmist wrote, "Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I will still praise him, my Savior and my God" (Psalm 42:5-6, WEB).
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up Shabrim. We know that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB). We pray that You will comfort Shabrim right now, fill them with Your peace and joy. Help them to fix their eyes on You, and to trust in Your unfailing love. Give them the strength to endure this time of sadness and remind them that You have plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
Lastly, we encourage you to reach out to Christian community around you. It's important to have godly friends who can support and encourage you in your faith. Remember, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, WEB).
Keep praying and trusting in the Lord, Shabrim. He hears your prayers and will answer in His perfect timing.
