Struggling. Please Pray for Me

Joseph 11/8/2025 Prayer 5 Comments

Please pray for me, I’ve been struggling for close to two decades now. My earliest memories of something being wrong go as far as kindergarten and I’m 25 now. I grew up the ‘fat kid’ and was bullied verbally for it, it bothered me even back then, but I didn’t think it’d spiral into what it is today.
Most of my early life I’ve felt there was always something bothering me, I try to ignore it, I try to work through it, I try to improve myself and seek God, but as the years pass by, I’m losing strength. I was about 20 years before I even opened up to anyone about my struggles.

I’ve struggled with a number of things, anxiety, depression, lust, food addiction, lack of faith. Body dysmorphia, lack of faith, suicidal thoughts, lack of motivation.

I’ve been struggling with my relationship with God, it’s like there’s no strength in me anymore to get close to him, I still believe in God, but with the point I’m at both mentally and psychologically I just feel so drained. I almost constantly feel guilty. These days if I’m being honest, I barely go outside, the times I do, I force myself out. I don’t really have friends in my immediate vicinity. I want to accomplish things in life, but the same time I’m afraid of the change.

I don’t know what is wrong with me, I don’t know myself anymore. I want this gone; I want a change. I don’t know how much more I can take. My only hope is God; I don’t think any human being can help me anymore.

Please spare some time and pray for me.

    Joseph, you have given the devil too much chance into your mind. Once someone has allowed devil to have free access into one’s mind, the devil will begin to give false thoughts about the person. You must guide your mind carefully.

    God has plan for creating you on the earth. It is God who created you that can help you to become what He has created you for. So, you need to have a personal relationship with God. You need salvation. It is through salvation that your mind will be renewed and all the thoughts of the devil shall be erased and you can then fulfill the purpose of God for your life. You also need to fellowship with brethren so that you will be renewed because iron sharpens iron.

    May the Lord renew your mind. May the Lord reveal Himself to you and save you. May the Lord reveal His purpose for creating you to you and help you to fulfill the purpose. May the Lord calm every storm around you and give you peace in Jesus name.

    Hi Joseph, I ve prayed for you. I think you just need to know who you are in Christ. That will put an end to the lies of the enemy in your life. You need to know the Gospel and thus it’s liberating power. You are right no human can help you, only God. And He has through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    Ephesians chapters 1 -3 especially and Romans for starters.

    Joseph we will pray for you however you need to align your mind with what God says about you. We all go through things in our lives. My prayer for you is that you would confess what God says you are. HE doesn’t make anything but good. Declare you are beautifully and wonderfully made and that even in your mothers’ womb HE knew every part. Repent of any lies you came into agreement with the adversary/devil. Instead agree with God whom you were made in image and likeness and choose only to confess His verification and opinion of you. I touch and agree that God will turn it around and that all that oppresses you must vacate your life and self image right now. I pray God will lead you to people whom love you as you are and where you are going . .Be victorious and learn to love yourself just as you are. In Jesus’ name Amen

    Prayed for you. Start reading the Word of God and also hearing the preaching of the Word. Faith comes by hearing. Join a church near you and connect to a fellowship. If you are not working, volunteer to serve others.

    Joseph my young brother faith in Jesus is all you need day by day one day at a time trusting in his promises from his word. Must say you must repent and trust Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit of God the Father .God promises in ours hearts set us free from the lies of the devil. If a man is tempted to fall temptations and Jesus tell Him that he is able to keep him from falling (Jude 1:21) and if that man believes that promises, would he fall?

    Of course not. So, you see unbelief is the root of sin so here is some promises to overcome the temptation of the mind and soul and body.

    Pray these promises and you will escape the Lust (2Peter1:4)
