Im struggling. Can someone pray for me?

Question

Lately Ive been having such a hard time. Things have been so difficult and I just dont seem to understand. This life is crazy. I just hope for better days. Im not always this sad but sometimes I am. I think Im depressed but Im really trying to get over it. I feel like Im completely over the edge and everything seems like a blur. I just want to focus and realize my reality. Man, that sounds so crazy but Ive noticed that sometimes when I write, email. or even text message nearly 90% of the time I dont mean what i say. Honestly, this is how i feel right now. I just want to feel normal but it almost seems my life is so stable that I have no stability at all. I want happiness and im just tired of being alone. God, if you hear me.. where have you been?

Answer 1

OK King Kong will pray for you. God ....

Answer 2

Yes, everyone that has read this will/has pray for you.
People that are hurting - will always find a caring person for support. Of course I will plead with you to TALK to your parents/family. OR a professional in any field you choose. OR an adult that has earned your respect, as you trust him/her. I would also suggest you write everything you feel down, and read it - then highlight important thoughts that could set your course of action or highlight the things you wrote that are distructive - and stop these activities.
Unfortunately "normal" is something that can not be defined by comparing peoples lives against each other.
My normal is different - and has changed since I found this web site. (I will be changing a little tomorrow - I just don't know it yet.)
I had hopes of stasis - locked frozen unchanging - then I realilized that change is constant. I just changed a little - I aged. I ate something, I grew.
If this is how you feel: "I think Im depressed but Im really trying to get over it. I feel like Im completely over the edge and everything seems like a blur." then professional can really help. I can't help figure the field you need - but people that you trust can aide - I sure, because you are important to the people that love you. Also you may not need professional help - just a reconnection to your community, family?
I know that if you start to help your self - GOD will be there (working through people) to aide you. That's been the case for centuries. GOD helps those that help themselves! Never give up on yourself - remember you are special.

Answer 3

You sound depressed. Depression is a physical illness that sometimes needs medication for a period of time. At least, find someone to talk to --minister, a counselor or a doctor.

Sometimes a mental "blur" and depression can also be from other illness -- could even be that you have a problem with your blood sugar! So, if you can manage it, a visit to the doctor might be helpful.

On the other hand, you say it's been a difficult time lately--if you've had a lot of bad stuff happening, it could be you are responding to this -- we all go through these crazy times of one bad thing after another and then it gets better, so I hope things turn around soon for you.

Meanwhile, find someone to talk to!

Prayers for you!

I feel you man I'm stuggling too. Just know you're not alone. I'll pray for everyone who is struggling in life right now. I have a disorder/disease and I'm only 18. I'm going to college but I think I'll have to wait til the next semester because I'm in pain right now, I'm not like a normal person though I wish I were. I need god more than ever. I'm miserable but I'm also thankful because I know there's people that are worse off than even I am. Just think about that, be positive and in time hopefully you'll get your life together. I'm trying to go on as well.

Answer 5

I am right now. God hears you and all of us that are praying for you. He WILL help you, maybe in ways that you don't even realize.

Hope things get better. We all have hard times, some more than others. I agree that you should put your thoughts and energy into helping other people just to get your mind off of your own struggles. Sometimes, when I feel really depressed, I remind myself of all the good things in my life and how good I have it compared to other people. Not just the starving children in third world countries, but people right here around me, even people close to me. We are all blessed in so many ways, ways that we don't take time to think about. You just have to trust that God will take care of you and help you through it all. I promise He will. He has for me.

Not too long ago, I was as low as I had ever been. I put all my faith in God to help me and lead me in the right way, and HE DID!!

Trust, trust, trust. That's the most important words I can tell you.

GOD BLESS YOU!!

Answer 6

I'll pray for you, but remember this - you are only given as much as you can handle. No more, no less. If things were perfect all the time, think how boring that would be. But it is through adversity that we build character. You need to set some goals for yourself instead of wandering aimlessly through life, I know this helps me feel centered and at peace with myself. I've had a very troubled life, including a traumatic childhood, as well as two failed marriages but I've managed to raise five children and keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Looking back, I'm not sure how I accomplished it, but I do know that it wasn't by feeling sorry for myself. One of the best things you can do is to try to help others by volunteering - it's easy to feel lonely and put upon when you have nothing to compare it to. But there is always someone worse off than we are, and I know it makes me grateful to stop and take stock on my life on a regular basis. If you don't mean what you say, make the effort to stop doing this and strive to be a better person. God is all around us, I see him in the faces of people I meet especially in children, in nature through the changing of the seasons and we are all a part of Him. I don't have to go to church to feel close to him, and when I work my hands in the soil of my garden and make things grow is my time to feel closest to him. God Bless You and Keep You!

Answer 7

God is always with you. Sometimes it seems like He's not because maybe you have grieved the Holy Spirit. Sometimes when we do something to offend the Holy Spirit, He will hide from us. It is not that God has left you He just wants you to miss Him and seek Him. Examine yourself and see if there is anything that you need to confess. We all fall short of the grace of God, and I'm not saying that you did sin, but usually when we become depressed it is because the Holy Spirit is grieved. Ask God to give you wisdom concerning Spiritual things. Seek Him. To seek means to think about and to speak about. Get up in the Word. His Word has everything that we need to know. May God comfort you and give you understanding in Jesus name. Amen

Answer 8

I understand.
You need to locate a purpose that is yours ,not someone elses.
Life is a game. A game is made up of freedoms barriers and purposes. If you have no purpose or goal you end up playing
someone elses game and that will be no fun.
Happiness is achieved by overcoming the obstacles towards a known goal.
Locate a purpose that you have abandoned, rekindle it,or decide on a new one. Then focus on what you need to do to achieve it. Create the reality you want to have.

You can be happy. You are not alone.

Answer 9

Suffering and hardship are part of the human condition. God will give you what you need to keep your faith. You are not the first to feel this way. We hope that as we pass through this tunnel of darkness that the Lord is waiting at the end.

May the Lord's Peace be with you.

Answer 10

Praise God. I can not only pray with you. I can agree with you that the God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. That in this life when we got trials and tribulations we can take heart that He has overcome it all for us.

Turn your eyes unto Jesus. See His beauty and loviness and perfect love for you. Look and see that your troubles are small. He is able and most of all He is willing to deliver you.

The peace of God that transcends all understanding rest on you. Shalom.

Answer 11

You are normal. Sometimes God pulls back to give us new perspective. He has you thinking. He has you searching. He is moving you in a new direction. He wants us to be who he created us to be. Each individual. God will give you the direction. As my 12 year old son reminded me lately all we need is Faith the size of a mustard seed. It sounds like you have that! I will pray for you.
