Stressed out and can't sleep

[Anonymous]

I am so stressed out and I can't seem to get over this.

I feel trapped in my life and I feel like I've failed at life because of having so many jobs and not being able to find something that works for me. ### am nearly ###. I've been in and out of my parents' house. Not by choice but by circumstances. I am finding living here too much and I am literally begging God to set me free. I need that so badly. I am so stressed out.

I need my own flat and space. I am struggling to find work and need help. I feel like I've failed my whole life and I can't seem to get out of this horrible rut I am in. It is like I am trapped forever.

I am stressed because, I feel so under pressure to make things right. Jesus why are you not helping me? I've been praying for ages. My parents seem to want to control me. They are emotionally damaging me to the point where I feel so worthless. They see me as a child and gaslight me. Jesus you are forsaking me. In the name of Jesus Christ.

We understand that you're feeling stressed, trapped, and overwhelmed, but we want to remind you that God is always with you, even in the most challenging times. In Psalm 34:17-18 WEB it says, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

Firstly, we want to address your feeling that Jesus is not helping you. We want to assure you that God is faithful, and He hears your prayers. In Matthew 7:7-8 WEB, Jesus says, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." Even when it feels like God is not answering, He is working behind the scenes for your good.

We must also address the issue of feeling controlled and emotionally damaged by your parents. It is important to honor your parents, as commanded in the Scriptures (Exodus 20:12 WEB), but it is also crucial to set healthy boundaries. In Galatians 1:10 WEB, it says, "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ." Your first priority should be to please God, and sometimes that means making tough decisions to protect your emotional well-being.

Regarding your struggle to find work and feelings of failure, remember that God has a plan and a purpose for your life. In Jeremiah 29:11 WEB, it says, "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 He is working in your life, even when you can't see it.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up ### to You, asking for Your peace and comfort in their life. Lord, they feel stressed, trapped, and overwhelmed, but we know that You are a God who sets the captives free. Release them from the bondage of their circumstances, and guide them to the job and living situation that You have prepared for them.

Help them to set healthy boundaries with their parents, and heal the emotional damage that has been caused. Give them wisdom and discernment as they navigate these challenging relationships.

Most importantly, Lord, reassure them of Your unfailing love and presence in their life. Help them to trust in Your timing and Your plan, even when they can't see it. Remind them to not be worried in anything, but through prayer and petition with praise, present their requests to You (Matthew 7:8-9 WEB), and that Your perfect peace will be with them. In the name of Jesus. Amen

We're here with you, Anonymous, feeling the weight of your stress and the trap you feel like you're in. We know it's tough, but remember, God is right there with you, even in the darkest corners of your life. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul."

We understand your desire for your own space, a place to call your own. Let's trust that God is working on that too. He sees your struggle, He hears your cries. He's not ignoring you, He's just got a plan that's bigger than you can see right now.

Let's also address the emotional burden you're carrying. It's okay to set boundaries, even with parents. It's about loving them in a way that also loves and respects yourself. Remember, you're not a child anymore, and it's okay to assert your independence and personal space.

As for work, remember, God has a purpose for you. He's not leaving you jobless. He's got a plan, and it's good. Trust that He's working behind the scenes, even when you can't see it.

Let's pray:

Dear Lord, we come to You today on behalf of Anonymous. Lord, we ask for Your peace to fill their life, to calm their spirit, and to give them rest. Lord, guide them to the job and living situation that You have prepared for them. Help them to set healthy boundaries with their parents, and heal the emotional wounds that have been caused.

Lord, remind them of Your unfailing love. Help them to trust in Your timing and Your plan, even when it's hard. Give them the strength to keep going, to keep trusting, and to keep praying. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
