Restore Faith, Self-Love, Trust in God, and Preparation for Love

[Anonymous]

I’m ### years old, single, and struggling with overwhelming shame and feelings of brokenness. My Christian family often gossips about me, making me feel worthless and unlovable because I’m not in a relationship. Their words cut deeply, leaving me questioning my value and struggling to believe that God has a plan for me. My sister, who has bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, frequently dismisses my feelings, becomes verbally abusive, and uses faith as a shield instead of apologizing. This, combined with my family’s judgment, has left me disconnected from my faith. While I believe in God and Jesus, I long to understand them as a powerful presence within me rather than as distant figures. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, which has added challenges in managing my finances and keeping my home in order, further impacting my self-esteem. Despite these struggles, I desire to restore my faith, set healthy boundaries, and learn to love myself so I can emotionally and spiritually prepare for the love and partnership I yearn for.

Prayer Requests
1. Faith and Clarity: Pray for a deeper, authentic understanding of my faith, seeing God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as a powerful presence within me. Help me trust in God’s plan and embrace peace, joy, and confidence in His timing.
2. Healing Relationships: Pray for wisdom and strength in managing my family relationships, especially with my sister. I want to forgive without sacrificing my mental health and find peace despite their gossip and judgment.
3. Self-Love and Confidence: Pray for healing from shame and self-doubt, and for the ability to love myself as God does. I seek humble confidence to overcome challenges with ADHD, finances, and maintaining an orderly home.
4. Preparation for Love: Pray for emotional and spiritual readiness for a future partnership. Help me feel whole and secure in God’s timing, so I can welcome love from a place of strength and fulfillment.

 

[Articles]

Let us first address the foundation of our faith. 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." It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. When we pray, it should be in His name. Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."

We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life. We are encouraged that you have a desire to deepen your understanding of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We pray that you will come to know them as a powerful presence within you, not distant figures. We pray that you will be given the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know God better.

Ephesians 1:17-19 "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,"

We pray that you will learn to trust in God's plan for your life and embrace peace, joy, and confidence in His timing.

Addressing your family relationships, we are reminded that Jesus said, Mark 3:35 "For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother." It is important to know that your family is made up of all believers who follow Jesus. It is not good or pleasing to God when a Christian family ridicules another believer for not being in a marriage relationship.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;"

It is better to be in the will of God and single than to marry and fall away from His will. Psalm 119:63 "I am a friend with all those who fear you, with those who observe your precepts."

1 Corinthians 15:33 "Don't be deceived! Evil companionships corrupt good morals."

We pray that you will have wisdom and strength in managing your family relationships, especially with your sister. We pray that you will be able to forgive without sacrificing your mental health and find peace despite their gossip and judgment.

We also pray that you will be healed from shame and self-doubt. Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

We pray that you will be able to love yourself as God does. We pray that you will have humble confidence to overcome challenges with ADHD, finances, and maintaining an orderly home.

Regarding your preparation for love, we want to emphasize that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible. We pray that you will emotionally and spiritually ready yourself for a future marriage and feel whole and secure in God's timing.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[hostadmin]

We continue to feel honored that you have given us the privilege to pray on your behalf. It is a blessing for us to stand in agreement with you in prayer, and we are grateful for the opportunity.

As we have been praying for you these past few days, we have been asking the Lord to give you a deeper, more authentic understanding of your faith, and to increase His powerful presence within you. We pray that you are experiencing God’s blessing as you seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ.

If God has begun to answer your prayers for faith and clarity, healing relationships, self-love and confidence, and preparation for love, we would be delighted if you could share a praise report with us all. Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others in our community who are also walking through challenging circumstances.

If you feel that your requests have not yet been answered, we would like to assure you that we are still standing with you in prayer. Please consider posting an update or a new request, so that we can continue to intercede for you and support you in prayer.

We are praying that God would give you an update on your request for a deeper, more authentic understanding of your faith and help you see God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as a powerful presence within you to help you trust in His plan and embrace peace, joy, and confidence in His timing.

Our Father, we ask that you teach our dear sibling how to forgive family members without sacrificing mental health and find peace despite gossip and judgment toward. We recognize that we are to forgive as your Son did, even while hanging on that cross. However, we know that there is a healthy way to do that. Please lead our sibling to be able to limit contact and exposure to loved ones as a part of setting healthy boundaries, as your son taught. If there is a proud and self-righteous spirit involved in some family interactions, please convict that family member to lead them to more Christ-like behavior and salvation.

Lord, heal our sibling's shame and self-doubt, and grant the ability to love herself as You do. Give her humble confidence to overcome challenges presented by ADHD, finances, and maintaining an orderly home in Jesus Name. Allow those victories to further increase my sibling's self-esteem.

Finally, Lord, we pray for the future partner you may have reserved for our dear sibling. Help her to be a Proverbs 31 woman who brings honor and not shame to her family. As your Word in Psalms 37:4 (NKJV) tells us, " Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." She will welcome love from a place of strength and fulfillment according to Your timing. May You allow her to accomplish this with resilience that comes from having an even greater awareness of Your presence as she moves forward in Jesus Name. Amen.
