Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

I hear how heavy and exhausting your burden has become, and how long you have carried it. To live for years with PTSD, anxiety and depression, to feel worse rather than better despite trying to get help, to feel beaten down and unable to get back up, is a deep and painful trial. Added to that is the worry for your friend whom you have not heard from in months, and the daily stress of living in an unsafe place with a landlord who threatens harm. It is understandable that you feel worn out, grieving, and that your prayers feel met with silence. Thank you for sharing this so honestly.

Please hear that your suffering and your questions do not mean God has turned away from you or left you. Scripture speaks often of faithful people who cried out and felt God was silent, yet God had not abandoned them. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. In Jesus Christ, God came near to our sorrow and bore it Himself, and He promises never to leave nor forsake His children. Your faithfulness in continuing to pray, even when it feels like there is no answer, is not unseen by Him. He hears every prayer, even when His answer is not yet clear or comes in a way we do not expect. His silence is not rejection.

I am praying for you now for God's mercy and intervention in every area you mentioned.

I pray that God in His mercy would bring you relief and rest, that He would calm the constant battle of anxiety and fear, lift the weight of depression, and grant you moments of peace and strength for each day. I pray He would comfort you in your grief and renew your hope, reminding you that you are His daughter, deeply loved and held even when you feel hopeless.

I pray for your friend, that God would keep him safe where he is, and that if it is His will, He would open a way for you to hear from him again and have that burden lifted.

I pray for your housing needs, that God would provide an affordable and safe place to live, and protect you where you are now. Because your landlord has threatened violence, please do not face that danger alone. If you feel unsafe, please reach out right away to a trusted pastor, a safe family member or friend, local authorities, or help services in your area for protection and for assistance finding housing. Your church family may also know of practical resources that could help.

If at any time you feel you may be in danger or unable to keep yourself safe, please tell someone you trust immediately or contact a crisis helpline in your country. In the United States you can call or text 988. If you are elsewhere, you can find helplines at findahelpline.org. You do not have to carry this alone.

God invites us to bring our honest pain to Him, even our questions of why. Keep bringing your heart to Him, through Jesus who alone is our hope and salvation. He understands our weakness and intercedes for us. Even a simple prayer like, Lord, have mercy on me, I need You, is precious to Him.

May the Lord show you His mercy, give you His peace that goes beyond understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and provide for your daily needs. May He remind you day by day that you are not forgotten, that you are still in His hands, and that He can bring good even out of long seasons of suffering as you continue to trust Him.

Thank you for replying to my prayer request. I am so grateful for your prayers, support and words of wisdom.

Your honesty about how worn down and hopeless you feel is heard, and the weight you are carrying is real. Years of trauma, anxiety and depression that have not lifted even with counseling and medication, a living situation that feels unsafe and degrading, a friend whose silence has left you worried and grieving, and above all the sense that your prayers are met with silence can make it feel as though you have been beaten to the ground with no strength left to get up.

That sense of being hedged in with no way out is what Scripture describes as hopelessness, and hopelessness is at the root of deep depression. One prophet who had watched his nation destroyed put it this way, I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He knew darkness and being trapped. Yet in the middle of that despair he recalled something to mind and found hope again. He remembered that it is because of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions do not fail. They are new every morning, great is his faithfulness. Even when God allows grief, he does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men, but according to the multitude of his mercies he will have compassion. The Lord will not cast off forever. Though you feel cast off and forgotten, his word says his compassion and mercy remain.

It is understandable to ask, does God see, does God know, why does he not act. That question is an old challenge of the enemy, to make you think that if God sees he would have already intervened, and since he has not, he must not see or care. Scripture teaches the opposite. God does see, and he is not far from any of us, for in him we live and move and have our being. Your standing before him is not based on how faithfully you have held on, but on grace through faith in Jesus Christ. By faith you have access into that grace in which you stand. You do not stand in your own righteousness or in the strength of your faithfulness, you stand in his grace because his word declares you accepted through Christ who died in your place while you were still alienated from him. Feelings of abandonment are powerful, but salvation and his love for you are not measured by feelings. They are anchored in what his word says, and his word is true and his promises stand.

When you feel overwhelmed by circumstances that are too big for you, Scripture invites you to let God fight your battles and to wait quietly with hope for his salvation. Our weapons are not merely human efforts. The weapons of our warfare are spiritual, the word of God, faith, and prayer. Let your requests be made known to God. That does not mean a single prayer fixes everything at once, but it means you keep bringing every burden before him, the ache of trauma, the anxiety that will not lift, the longing to hear from your friend, the need for a safe and affordable home, the exhaustion that makes you feel you cannot go on. He is open to the cry of his children, and prevailing with God often comes through tears and persistent prayer and surrender, not through striving to be strong enough on your own.

The Holy Spirit makes the word alive in the heart and through that work hope can abound again, a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As you keep your eyes on the Lord rather than only on the darkness around you, your outlook can change even before circumstances change, because God himself is faithful and compassionate.

God also guides and provides. When he leads, he makes provision, and he does not leave his daughter without care. For your housing, please continue to seek wise and practical help for safety as well. A threat to harm others should be taken seriously and reported to those who can protect and help you find safer options, and also seek help from trusted believers or community resources who may know of affordable housing. For your friend, we will pray that God watches over him and opens a way for contact and relief for your worry. For your long battle with trauma and depression, even when other helps have seemed exhausted, do not walk alone. Keep reaching to a pastor, a trusted counselor, a doctor and a small circle who can stay with you, and keep letting the word of God dwell in you daily, even a few verses at a time.

May the God of peace be with you. I pray that he will lift your eyes to his mercies that are new every morning, that he will quiet your heart with the assurance that you are held in his grace, that he will fight for you where you have no strength left, that he will provide for your daily needs and open a safe place to live, that he will watch over your friend and bring word according to his mercy, and that the Holy Spirit will make his word alive to you and cause hope to rise again. You are not turned away. You are loved, seen, and kept, and he who has begun a good work will be faithful to complete it.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer and we have continued to lift you up before the Lord.

We have been praying for God's mercy and intervention over your long battle with PTSD, anxiety and depression. We understand you shared that this has been a lifelong struggle that has left you worn out and beyond hopeless, and that counseling and medication have not brought relief and you have only grown worse as the years have gone on. We have also been praying for your friend who you have not been able to contact for many months and for the heavy burden that silence has placed on your heart, for your need for an affordable and safe place to live, and for protection from your present living conditions where your landlord has been toxic and threatening. We have prayed especially for your heart as you shared you feel beaten to the ground, grieving constantly, and that your prayers have been met with deafening silence and you do not understand why God would allow His daughter to suffer so much when you have remained faithful.

We want you to know that we do not believe God has turned you away or left you. Even when He seems silent, He is near to you in this pain. We are clinging to His promises for you that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit as written in Psalm 34:18, and that when our heart is overwhelmed He will lead us to the rock that is higher than we are as written in Psalm 61:2. We pray He lifts you up and sustains you as He promises in Isaiah 41:10.

If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, whether it is for relief from the PTSD and depression, for word from your friend, or for provision of a safe home, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

We continue to pray in Jesus Name for the Lord to break through the silence with His presence, to pour out His mercy and intervention upon you, to bring healing and peace to your mind and heart, to keep your friend safe and restore contact, and to open the door to a decent and affordable place where you can live in peace and safety. We pray He reminds you how deeply He loves you and that He has not forgotten you. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
