[casey]

I have always tried to be a good person... I am always the shoulder my friends can lean on if they need to, but I can't appear weak to them as I'm the one that can always be relied on to have the answer.

But secretly, I'm really hurting.

My mother took her life back in 2003. She was my best friend and the most amazing person I've ever known. At the time we were arguing and hadn't spoken for a few months. I've always felt guilty that I wasn't there for her and always think in the back of my mind that if I was there for her at the time, then she wouldn't have felt so alone and killed herself.

I've never been able to move on from this, I've hit rock bottom and drink excessively to try and make my feelings go away. I have some really great friends that try and pull me out of it, but I always just smile and say I'm OK. But I'm really not.

I'm hoping that someone, somewhere, will give me a few minutes of their time and pray for me. I have to be honest here, I'm not a religious person, but I have nothing to lose by asking.

Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.

I will try to pray for this every day. You need to get with a group (preferably Christians) and start having fellowship, confessing where you are so they can repeatedly remind you of the patience and faithfulness of God for his people. You are going down so far because you never were truly open about what was really going on and now the part of you that you have been keeping in for so long is starting to show. That is why it is so important to live in the light and have fellowship with God and others so that we do not become weak and lose hope, falling into sin. You are capable of rising above this, so pray that God will open your eyes and bring you closer to him and pray for him to help you to learn to love him. As you progress in faith, the character of Christ will start coming down and become a part of you eventually, causing your cup to overflow with all the great things of God.

I prayed for this. In Jesus Name. Amen.

PRAYER FOR A FINANCIAL BLESSING

Heavenly Father, You are my great provider and sustainer and I seek Your help with my finances. Please place Your Mighty Hand of provision upon my life. I cast all my financial burden burdens upon You, Lord and ask that You deliver me from all worry and fear. Break every curse of poverty and lack of success that is hindering my financial prosperity and preventing me from obtaining a good job. Deliver me from every weapon that the enemy is using against me to keep me from getting a job and having financial blessing in my life. Help me to be able to find a good job that will meet all my needs. I choose to honor You with my tithes and my substance. Help me to always be a good and wise steward of the things that You provide for me. Help me to refrain from buying things I cannot afford. Help me to manage the resources You give me in a wise and beneficial manner. Help me to get out of debt and enjoy debt-free living. Deliver me from all wasteful spending and mismanagement of my income. Protect me and shield me from any financial curses from the enemy that may try to come against me to rob me and my family. Help me to be an obedient and God-fearing person who obeys your written word and puts Christ first in my life. I agree to walk in righteousness and observe the scriptures listed below so that I can prosper and be blessed by the hand of God. I thank you, Lord God, for all your provision and for meeting all my needs. In Jesus name, I pray, amen

OBEDIENCE TO THESE SCRIPTURES WILL BRING FINANCIAL BLESSINGS

BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE, THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT IN MY HOUSE, AND PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IF I WILL NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, THAT THEIR SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT. (MAL. 3:10)

THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF THY MOUTH; BUT THOU SHALT MEDITATE THEREIN DAY AND NIGHT, THAT THOU MAY OBSERVE TO DO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN; FOR THEN THOU SHALT MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS. (JOSH. 1:8)

NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER; AND EVERY TONGUE THAT SHALL RISE AGAINST THEE IN JUDGMENT THOU SHALT CONDEMN. THIS IS THE HERITAGE OF THE SERVANTS OF THE LORD, AND THERE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS OF ME, SAITH THE LORD. (ISA. 54:17)

BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. (MATT. 6:33)

THEREFORE TAKE NO THOUGHT, SAYING, WHAT SHALL WE EAT? OR, WHAT SHALL WE DRINK? OR, WHEREWITHAL SHALL WE BE CLOTHED? (MATT. 6:31)

Dear ###,

Superman/Superwoman are only fictitious people. No one can solve anyone's problems, sadness, hurts, deceptions, disappointments, etc., but JESUS CAN! He is The Almighty, that is Omniscient (He knows everything), Omnipotent (He can everything), and Omnipresent (He is everywhere). All that you can do to your friends is cheer them up, pretend (although having the best of the intentions) that you have the solution for their hurts, and make them joyful for a while. When it is your turn, there is no one there and you find console in drinking.

Dear ###, drinking takes you to the enemy. There is Someone, who is your Father, loves you unconditionally, and is always close.

Isaiah 49:16 says:

"See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands."

He also had already a plan for your life before you had even been conceived. Jeremiah 29:11 says:

"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans for good, not for disaster, to give you a hope and a future."

Isn't that marvellous?

Don't worry about being strong to other people's eyes. In 2 Corinthians 12:10b, Paul says: "When I am weak, then that I am strong," and it is because he knew that in such occasions, when he felt weak, powerless, he would have to trust totally and completely in the Lord. Please, do the same. Trust Him.

Jeremiah 29:12-13 "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

My friend in Christ, remember Philippians 4:6-7

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

Your father and best friend IS Jesus, and HE IS GOD. See how important you are? You are the Son of the King! You are royalty!!

The past is history, the future belongs to God. The present is a gift of the Lord. Feed yourself on His word, enjoy life in His presence! Lay your problems at the foot of the cross! He took away all your guilt. You are cleansed. HE LIVES!!! BE HAPPY!!!

May the Lord bless you ALWAYS!

Dear ###

The Bible says that the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. You should really think about your life right now. The devil has already stolen your mind. He is trying to make you feel that what happened in the past is all your fault like your mother's death. The decision was your mom's and once you let the devil make you think it's your fault, the next thing is you will be so depressed and do the same thing your mom did, and he would have managed to kill and destroy you. I would like to help you pray if you really need someone to assist you in that. I know what the devil can do to us when we are vulnerable, and you need to really fight him, but you can't do it alone. You need serious help. The Bible says guard your mind with all diligence, that is where your greatest battle is.
