Very skinny and undesirable. I hate nt life. I feel like God hates me. But idk what I did to make God so bitter. It's like he resents me and shows it through people . No matter what it's nit good enough. And since everyone knows I'm a "believer" all my trouble is bc of my "sin". I was reading psalm 38. And Isaiah 49:24. It's a fairy tale but God himself can't save me . He can't save me from me, my enemies, and my mighty family who has power me. Im afraid.
 
We hear the depth of your pain, despair, and fear, and we want you to know that we are lifting you up in prayer right now. The weight you carry is heavy, and the feelings of abandonment, even by God, are real to you in this moment. But we must tell you with love and truth: God has not left you. He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He sees every tear you’ve cried. The enemy wants you to believe the lie that God is against you, but Scripture declares the opposite: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18 WEB). You are not forgotten.

You mentioned feeling like God resents you, but that is not the heart of our Father. Romans 8:38-39 assures us, "For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." If you are in Christ, nothing, not your circumstances, not your failures, not even your own feelings, can separate you from His love. If you have never truly surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you and rose again, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. He is the only way to true peace.

Your struggles with anxiety, financial hardship, and feeling trapped are very real, and we do not dismiss them. But we must gently rebuke the lie that God is powerless to save you. Isaiah 49:24-25 says, "Can the plunder be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered? But the Lord says, ‘Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children." God is not weak, He is the One who parts seas, raises the dead, and turns ashes into beauty. If He can do that, He can rescue you from this storm. But we must also ask: Are there areas in your life where you may be resisting His help? Are you holding onto bitterness, unforgiveness, or sin that is hindering your relationship with Him? Psalm 38, which you referenced, is a psalm of David when he was under conviction for his sin. If there is unconfessed sin in your life, we encourage you to repent and turn back to God. He is faithful to forgive (1 John 1:9).

You mentioned feeling "undesirable" and struggling with social skills. We want to remind you that your worth is not found in the opinions of others or even in your own self-perception. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God has a purpose for your life. If you are struggling with loneliness or feeling unloved, we encourage you to seek out a biblical, Christ-centered community. The church is meant to be a family, and you should not walk this path alone. If you are not already connected to a local church, we strongly urge you to find one where the Word is preached and believers can walk alongside you.

As for your housing situation, we are praying for a miracle. But we also encourage you to seek practical help, local churches, Christian organizations, or even government assistance programs that may provide temporary relief. God often works through His people to meet needs, so do not be afraid to ask for help. Proverbs 3:27 says, "Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it." If you have the ability to seek help, do so.

You also mentioned feeling like others blame your struggles on your "sin." While sin can bring consequences, not every hardship is a direct result of personal sin. Jesus Himself said in John 9:3, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him." Your trials may be an opportunity for God’s power to be displayed in your life. But if there is sin that needs to be addressed, we encourage you to do so with humility and seek godly counsel.

Lastly, we must address the despair in your words. If you are having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, we beg you to reach out to someone immediately, a pastor, a trusted friend, or even a crisis hotline. Your life matters to God, and He has a plan for you. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,’ says the Lord, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother who is in deep pain. Lord, we know that You are near to the brokenhearted, and we ask that You draw near to him now. Comfort him in his distress, and remind him of Your unfailing love. Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that say You have abandoned him or that You are powerless to save. You are the God who parts seas, who raises the dead, and who turns mourning into dancing. We declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).

Lord, if there is unconfessed sin in his life, we pray that You would bring it to light and grant him the grace to repent. Cleanse him, restore him, and renew a right spirit within him (Psalm 51:10). Provide for his needs, shelter, food, and finances, according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Surround him with godly community, and give him the strength to reach out for help. Heal his anxiety, Lord, and replace his fear with Your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3).

We pray for his family and those who may be mistreating him. Soften their hearts, Lord, and let Your love break through any hardness. If there are enemies rising against him, we declare that You will contend with them and save him (Isaiah 49:25). Remind him of his worth in Your eyes, and help him to see himself as You see him, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Above all, Lord, we pray that he would know You as his Savior and Redeemer. If he has never truly surrendered his life to You, we pray that he would do so now. Let him experience the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and the hope that does not disappoint (Romans 5:5). We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.

You are not alone. God sees you, He loves you, and He is able to save you. Keep crying out to Him, and do not lose hope. We are standing with you in prayer.
 
We read your words and our hearts sink, ceiling falling in, nowhere to go, your body failing, fear all around, and the weight of feeling God has turned his back. That’s a crushing load for anyone to carry alone.

What you wrote about your “mighty family” who have power over you stayed with us. When the people who should protect us instead control or diminish us, it can deeply stain how we imagine God. It’s not that he actually hates you; it’s that pain and fear can paint a harsh face onto the only One who could help. So many of us have had to slowly unlearn that distortion, and it’s okay if you can’t feel his love right now. That doesn’t mean he isn’t near. Tears and raw honesty are prayers too.

For the ceiling and the risk of being kicked out, if you haven’t already, we’d gently nudge you to reach out to a local housing aid office, a community center, or even a nearby church that might have a deacon’s fund or emergency help. It’s not a sign of failure to ask; it’s how God’s people are meant to carry each other. And when you mentioned being ###, please consider letting a doctor check things out, not instead of prayer but alongside it. It’s not weakness to get physical care.

In the middle of the storm, try giving yourself two minutes a day to simply breathe and picture, even tentatively, that God’s heart toward you is gentle, not angry. We know that might feel impossible, but small steps can soften the noise.

We’re praying with you now: Father, in Jesus’ name, lift this heavy darkness. Provide a safe roof and practical provision. Send wise helpers. Quiet the terror that tells him he’s abandoned, and let some small crack of light get through. Hold him steady, even when he can’t hold on. Amen.
 
The cry of your heart is written before me, and it is a cry that has echoed through the ages, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" You say God has not got you and that He is not there, yet even that desolation was tasted to its dregs by the Son of God Himself when He hung upon the tree. In the darkest hour of His agony, He gave voice to that same lament, not because the Father had ceased to love Him, but because He was standing in the place of sinners, bearing the full penalty of separation that sin demands. He was forsaken so that you might never be. If you are in Christ, your sense of being God-forsaken is a dark mist that cannot abide the rising sun. The feeling is terrible, but it is not the final truth.

You speak as though God harbors a bitter resentment toward you. You ask what you have done to make Him so bitter. Let me settle this plainly: the enmity is not from His side toward any poor sinner who feels their need. The picture you have painted of a harsh, unwilling God is a masterpiece of Satan, for he knows that men cannot love a tyrant. But look to Bethlehem’s manger, God contracted into an Infant! He who thunders in the heavens lay in a woman’s arms, specifically to take away all slavish fear. The holy Child Jesus is the unbreakable link between your trembling soul and the majesty of heaven. God is not hard; He gave His only Son. Can you believe that He who delivered up Christ would now cast off a broken-hearted sinner who looks to that very Christ? If you could stand for a moment on Calvary and trace those streams of blood to their source, you would see love beyond all measure, love that did not wait for you to become lovely.

Your afflictions are many. The ceiling fell, and your fears rise. Poverty pinches, the threat of homelessness stalks you, and your own frame seems a burden to you. You imagine these things are tokens of divine hatred. But hear this: the rod of correction is wielded by a Father’s hand, not an enemy’s. When a man cries, "God has forsaken me," it is often at the very moment the Lord is dealing most closely with him. The child who feels the stroke and concludes the Father has forgotten him is a fool, the presence of the rod proves the Father’s nearness. You are not forgotten. I charge you to look long at Isaiah 49:16, where the Lord declares He has engraved you on the palms of His hands. Before the worlds were made, if you are one of His, He set His love upon you. He has loved too long to change; His mind is not subject to moods like yours or mine. The very family and enemies before whom you tremble are not beyond His reach, for the prey of the mighty shall be taken, and the lawful captive delivered. That is no fairy tale, it is the oath of the God who cannot lie.

You say God cannot save you from yourself, from your enemies, from your mighty family. That is precisely the language of unbelief, which is the daughter of pride. The Lord who made the heavens can pluck you from the jaws of the lion. Christ is able to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by Him, not those who come with a neat list of merits, but the unworthy, the undone, the very chief of sinners. Do you think your own heart is a deeper pit than the grave from which He rose? Do you imagine your foes are stronger than death and hell, which He defeated? You speak as one without a Mediator, but if you have fled to Jesus, you sit in heavenly places with Him. Your fears are understandable, but they are not grounded in covenant fact.

I hear the whisper that all your trouble is on account of some hidden sin. Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. God is not mocked, but He is also not cruel. The remedy is not to wrap yourself in desperate self-justification but to come honestly before the Lord. David in Psalm 38 felt the arrows of God stuck fast in him, his loins filled with a loathsome disease, his friends standing aloof, and yet he did not accuse God of fairy tales. He said, "I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin." Lay your heart bare before the all-seeing eye. If there is specific, unconfessed sin, bring it to the cross. If there is no glaring transgression but only the general corruption that clings to human nature, confess that too. Despise the polite prayers that roll off the tongue without the heart; instead, groan out your emptiness. He does not despise a broken and contrite heart.

But mark this: your own low thoughts of self must be set side by side with high thoughts of Christ. You despise your body, your social skills, your entire frame, very well, you are nearer the truth than the self-righteous Pharisee. Yet do not stop there. The Savior whom you think so little of is mighty, and He delights to take the base things of the world to confound the mighty. From the mouths of babes and sucklings He ordains strength. Your weakness is not a barrier; it is the stage on which His power will be displayed, if only you will trust Him. Cease trying to muster a strength you do not have. Cease thinking that God’s love is earned by a sturdy frame or a full purse. You must come as a beggar, for the kingdom belongs to the poor in spirit.

This night, I urge you to take your eyes off the sinking sand of your circumstances and fix them on the unchanging Rock. You have been reading Psalm 38; read also Psalm 22, which begins in forsakenness but ends in universal praise. The Christ who cried "Why?" later declared, "It is finished." His work is complete, and there is no condemnation for those who are in Him. You are afraid, yes; but fear will dissolve as you grasp that He who was once an Infant is now seated at the right hand of Power, making intercession for you. Do not say it is a fairy tale, that is the poison of the serpent. If the Scripture is not true, we are of all men most miserable. But it is true! Millions have proved it in life and in death. Go to your chamber, shut the door, and speak to God as honestly as you have written to me. Tell Him you are afraid, tell Him you are sure He has cast you off, and then, before you rise, look to the wounds of Jesus and dare to believe that you are loved. The peace that follows will be the fruit of faith, not sight.

Cast off the spirit of bondage unto fear. The rod is in your Father’s hand, but He will not break you. Soon, when the night is past, you shall see that these light afflictions worked for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Even now, He is nearer than your skin, though unperceived. Be of good courage; wait on the Lord, and He shall strengthen your heart.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
Your words show a soul sorely scourged, and I hear your cry that God has abandoned you. Yet I tell you, anxiety itself is a more grievous scourge than any lash on the body. Every day you are beaten by fear, trembling, and despair, and this is the devil’s bitter slavery, far worse than Egypt’s brick-making. But if you will groan and look up to God, He sends His own Word, and compunction, to bring you out.

Not because you have earned it by works, no one is justified by works, but that His grace and loving-kindness might be shown to you as one abandoned of works. Do not imagine that God’s severity proves His hatred. Even the great Apostle Paul, once a blasphemer, was a chosen vessel; and when Ananias heard the Lord, he was terrified, saying, “Lord, I have heard how much evil he has done.” Yet the Lord replied, “I will show him how great things he must suffer for My Name’s sake.” God’s ways are not your ways. The ceiling fell; you are without insurance; your body is weak, and men despise you.

But earthly beauty and security wither in a moment, destroyed by disease or time. The beauty that endures is the spiritual adornment of a soul anchored in Christ. The same Lord who gave His own body, that crucified Body which crushed the head of the enemy, offers Himself at His table as the living bread that nourishes unto eternal life. He has made you free and above all reach of injury, even when the world cannot understand.

The grace that partakes of His gifts renders your soul unstained and above all pollution; What if others credit your troubles to your sin, like Job’s comforters? Their judgment is not God’s. You say, “God Himself cannot save me from me, from my enemies, from my mighty family.” This is the language of one who still toils for the devil. He would have you believe yourself beyond rescue.

But the Lord who called Paul on the road to Damascus is not hindered by your weakness or your enemies’ power. He trains you through these very perils to cast out fear. Do not cling to the old dead material of this life. Lay hold of the fellowship of His sufferings.

Your anxiety, your poverty, your isolation, these are the very scourges that drive you to the cross. There, and only there, is your true freedom. Groan to God, and He will send His Word to comfort you. The fable is not the Scripture; the fable is the lie that God’s grace cannot reach as low as you have fallen.

He can, and He does.
 
Your words are soaked in anguish, and every silent cry lands on a Father who sees what no one else does. Right now, your circumstances are screaming that God has turned away, that He resents you, that the ceiling caving in and the threatened eviction and the weight of being unwanted are proof of His anger. But a fallen creation never tells the truth about God’s heart. You can’t measure His love by the rubble around you, because this world groans under a curse it was never meant to carry. The love of God isn’t written in collapsing ceilings or skinny frames or bank accounts, it’s carved into a cross. Jesus Christ took the judgment you’re afraid of. If you belong to Him, there is no secret bitterness left for you. The hostility is gone.

You said you read Psalm 38 and Isaiah 49:24, and they feel like fairy tales because God can’t save you from yourself or your powerful family. I hear that. But look again at the promise: the captives of a tyrant will be rescued, and the prey taken from the mighty. That isn’t a fragile wish; it’s the voice of the One who formed you and calls you by name. He doesn’t need your family’s permission or your enemies’ consent. He isn’t wringing His hands over your lack of insurance or your low wages. He went before Israel through a trackless wilderness, searching out the best places to pitch their tents. If He pays that kind of attention to a camp in the desert, do you really believe He’s abandoned you now? The all-encompassing care of God surrounds your life even when it feels like a trap.

That gnawing fear, that God hates you, that you’re not good enough, that people use your faith to pile on guilt, that fear isn’t from Him. Fear takes hold when His love hasn’t yet settled deep into our bones as the final word. The remedy isn’t to try harder or fix your social skills or bulk up; it’s to stop fighting the love that already claimed you. You are in Christ, not because you were good enough after you were born, but because He chose you before the foundations of the world, knowing exactly what your life would look like. He isn’t shocked by your struggles or your prayers that feel like accusations. He can handle the rawest honesty.

You feel powerless against the “mighty” forces around you and inside you. But the word to Zerubbabel stands for every trembling believer staring at an immovable mountain: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.” The mountain becomes a plain when God moves. That includes the mountain of your anxiety, the mountain of family pressure, the mountain of your own sense of worthlessness. This isn’t a fairy tale, it’s a spiritual reality. But it requires surrender, not clenched fists. Stop trying to direct God how to answer your need, as if you’ve figured out the only viable escape route and He’s slow to follow. His ways are higher, and His timing is not your enemy.

I know you feel like a failure, like everyone sees your trouble and calls it sin, and perhaps some of it is tangled up in your own choices. But don’t blame God for what a surrendered heart will find Him already covering. The voice of the accuser is loud, but the voice of the Redeemer says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Your identity isn’t in your social skills, your checking account, or your family’s approval. It’s in being owned by the God who swore by Himself because there was nothing higher to swear by. His promises don’t expire when your ceiling falls.

So lay it down, the fear of judgment, the dread of tomorrow, the bitterness that God enjoys your misery. None of that can stand in the presence of perfect love. Perfect love isn’t a feeling you work up; it’s a Person you dwell in. As you abide in Him, that love drives out the terror, little by little, until you can look at the same terrifying situation and say, “I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” The God who quieted the spirit in the north country can quiet the storm inside your chest. You are not beyond saving from yourself, your enemies, or your family. He has already won that battle. Rest in that, even when it feels like a threadbare hope. He is holding you, and He will not let go.
 
We want you to know how deeply we have carried your pain to the throne of grace these past days. Your words about feeling abandoned by God, the weight of anxiety, and the crushing circumstances of your ceiling, your home, your finances, and your relationships have not fallen on deaf ears. We have prayed specifically for God’s presence to surround you like a shield, for His peace to quiet the storm in your mind, and for His provision to meet every tangible need—whether through unexpected help, wisdom to navigate your situation, or even the kindness of strangers.

We’ve asked the Lord to remind you that His love is not earned or withdrawn based on our failures or the cruelty of others. He sees your struggles, your loneliness, and even the lies that tell you He resents you. We’ve stood in the gap, declaring that Psalm 38 is not the end of your story—that the God who promises in Isaiah 49:24 to contend with those who contend with you *is* fighting for you, even when it feels invisible. We’ve prayed for breakthroughs you can’t yet see: a way forward with your housing, favor in your work, and moments of unexpected joy or connection to remind you that you are not forgotten.

If any of these prayers have been answered—even in small ways—we would be so encouraged to hear how God has moved. But if the weight still feels unbearable, please don’t hesitate to post again. We are not walking away. We will keep lifting you up, asking God to reveal Himself in ways you can’t ignore, to soften hearts around you, and to give you the strength to take the next right step. You are not alone in this.

May the Father draw near to you in your distress, may Jesus intercede for you with groanings too deep for words, and may the Holy Spirit fill the cracks in your heart with His comfort. We continue to pray in Jesus’ mighty name.
