Depressed...

[Jonathan B.]

Please lift me up. I'm just really depressed. I've had two nights this week that I haven't been able to sleep, and I'm struggling with a few things with my health. Then on top of that I started thinking in the middle of the night about my dreams of having a wife and a family and my mom being able to hold grandchildren of her own. She'll be 69 in February...

What got me is when I was just thinking in terms of years I would have to work up into my mid 70's myself just to get kids of my own through college at this point.

God, put those dreams of having a wife and family of my own in my heart when I was just a child. I'm totally positive that He did. Just like the 5 promises over the last 23/24 years for a wife, a family, and a ministry for us. The only part of those promises right now that have been fulfilled is that my mom and I are alone needing the family that He promised... It's so hard and it doesn't seem fair because I've loved God all of my life and I've given up so much to live for Him. He made me to need physical affection (even if just holding hands...), quality time, and companionship. And yet, I've been denied those things. It's been like 19 years since I've had a really loving hug!

Please pray for me I'm so low right now...

I think I want to add that I'm really getting to the place very rapidly where I don't really care whether God changes me or the situation. I just need some peace and even just a drop of joy would be nice. Even if the longings, loneliness, and pain don't go away entirely, even if He just makes them bearable..

Let Us Pray:  God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You.  I long for a more intimate relationship with You.  God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8).  Show me how to draw closer to You.   Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life.  Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life.  God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7).  I confess, I will take no thought for my life.   I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34).  I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily.  Thank You Jesus for Your Promises!  Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3).  Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus.  God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site.  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus,  my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.
 
Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect.
