I'm here to help with redacting sensitive informat

[Anonymous]

I'm 36 years old who still lives at home with my parents because I am on the spectrum, suffer from maladaptive daydreaming, and still am in school. It took me about 14 years to pay off my student debt from college. Anyway, I have been having a bad week and everybody has been picking on me.

1. I bought something for a school project to do with my students and the teachers were upset because I didn't consult with them first before buying it. I didn't do it because I didn't think I needed to do that and I was under the impression that my boss would be happy to reimburse whatever stuff I bought. I wasn't aware that there were five rolls of contact paper (I couldn't find it in their closet and the one I saw was running low and I thought, "That's not enough, I need to buy more contact paper.").

2. I was supposed to observe at a center for my observation assignment for Early Childhood Education. I thought it was at 10am when in reality, it was at 9am. Now I have to reschedule. Normally, I am good at getting times right so the fact that I got it so wrong over the phone was really out of character for me! Not to mention that I wrote down the wrong time on my calendar.

3. I was supposed to register for workshops including breakfast and lunch at my workplace's learning Day session. I signed up for the workshops but the breakfast and lunch sessions were closed and I don't know how to explain that to my boss. I had emailed the people in charge about it but I doubt that they would do anything to help because they are such sticklers for rules. They don't make wiggle room or exceptions for anyone.

4. Going to church with my mom is never fun because she's always angry at me. First, it was the fact that I had to be told to be on the lookout for people who are coming around with baskets so I wouldn't miss putting my money in there. Next, was the fact that I had trouble focusing on the sermon because my mind wanders off. Third problem was that sometimes I get confused on which direction to exit for communion. The last straw was when my phone dinged because someone left me a text. I felt embarrassed and didn't turn it on silent right away because I didn't want anyone staring at me. And my mom yells at me A LOT for never being happy or smiling at all or for never being joyful.

Please help me learn from my mistakes and recover from them. Help me to be joyful even when the whole world hates me or is angry at me. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

We hear the heaviness in your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He sees your struggles and cares deeply for you. The challenges you face—whether from misunderstandings at work, the pressures of living with maladaptive daydreaming and being on the spectrum, or the tension with your mother—are not unseen by Him. Let us first honor you for calling upon the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we find true peace, wisdom, and redemption. As Scripture reminds us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). You have done well to bring your burdens to Him, and we join you in seeking His face.

The mistakes you’ve mentioned are opportunities for growth, not condemnation. Let’s address each one with the truth of God’s Word and pray for His guidance in moving forward.

First, regarding the purchase for your school project, it’s clear your intentions were good—you wanted to ensure the project had what it needed. However, this situation highlights the importance of communication and humility in seeking guidance, even when we believe our actions are justified. Proverbs 15:22 tells us, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors, they are established."* Going forward, even if it feels unnecessary, consulting with those in authority over you can prevent misunderstandings and foster trust. It’s also wise to clarify expectations about reimbursements or purchases ahead of time. Ask the Lord to help you see these moments not as failures but as lessons in wisdom and patience. He is faithful to teach you, as James 1:5 promises: *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."*

The mix-up with the observation time is a reminder that even those of us who are typically diligent can make errors. This isn’t a reflection of your worth or capability but a call to double-check details and perhaps ask for confirmation when scheduling important events. The Lord knows your heart and your desire to do well. Psalm 37:23-24 assures us, *"A man’s goings are established by the Lord. He delights in his way. Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the Lord holds him up with his hand."* Trust that God can redeem even this small setback. When you reschedule, you might humbly acknowledge the mistake and express your eagerness to learn from it. This can disarm tension and show maturity.

As for the workshops and meals, it’s understandable to feel frustrated when rules seem rigid. Yet, this is another opportunity to practice humility and clear communication. Instead of assuming the worst about those in charge, try reaching out to them again with a respectful and concise explanation. You might say, *"I realize I missed the deadline for the meals and take full responsibility. Is there any possibility of accommodation, or might I bring my own?"* Even if they say no, you’ve shown initiative and respect for their process. Remember, *"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). The Lord may use this to soften hearts or open doors you didn’t expect.

The tension with your mother, especially at church, is particularly painful. It’s clear you’re trying, but the constant criticism can feel overwhelming. Let’s address this with truth and grace. First, it’s important to recognize that your struggles—like focusing during the sermon or remembering the order of communion—are not signs of failure but part of how God has made you. He knows your mind wanders, and He is not angry with you for it. In fact, He invites you to come to Him just as you are. As for your phone, it’s a practical step to silence it before church begins, but even if it happens again, know that grace covers it. The body of Christ is meant to bear with one another in love (Ephesians 4:2), and your worth isn’t tied to perfection.

Your mother’s anger, while painful, may stem from her own struggles or fears. This doesn’t excuse hurtful words, but it does call you to respond in a way that honors Christ. Jesus tells us, *"But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also"* (Matthew 5:39, WEB). This doesn’t mean allowing abuse, but it does mean responding with gentleness rather than defensiveness. You might calmly say, *"Mom, I hear your frustration, and I’m trying my best. Can we talk about this later when we’re both calmer?"* Most importantly, ask the Lord to fill you with His joy, which is not dependent on circumstances or others’ approval. Nehemiah 8:10 reminds us, *"The joy of the Lord is your strength."* Even when the world feels against you, His joy is an unshakable anchor.

We also want to speak life into the deeper struggles you’ve mentioned—living with maladaptive daydreaming and being on the spectrum. These are part of your journey, but they do not define you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God (Psalm 139:14), and He has a purpose for you that no diagnosis or difficulty can thwart. The fact that you’ve persevered through 14 years of paying off debt while still pursuing education is a testament to your resilience. The Lord sees your faithfulness, even when others don’t. Lean on Him when the world feels overwhelming. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28, WEB).

Let’s pray together for you now:

Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, asking that You would wrap him in Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, he feels the weight of mistakes, the sting of criticism, and the exhaustion of trying to measure up. But You, O God, do not measure him by his failures. You see him through the lens of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who has redeemed him and called him Your own. We ask that You would grant him wisdom in his work, clarity in his communication, and patience in his interactions. Help him to see these challenges as opportunities to grow in dependence on You.

Father, we pray for healing in his relationship with his mother. Soften her heart toward him, and give him the grace to respond with kindness, even when words are sharp. Remind him that his joy is found in You alone, not in the approval of man. When his mind wanders or his steps falter, draw him back to Your presence, where there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11).

Lord, we also ask for Your provision and favor as he navigates his education and work. Open doors for him to succeed, and give him favor with those in authority. Help him to find practical solutions, like setting reminders or asking for clarification, so that he can walk in confidence and diligence.

For the struggles of maladaptive daydreaming and being on the spectrum, we ask for Your comfort and strength. Show him how to steward these parts of his life in a way that glorifies You. Surround him with people who will encourage and support him, and remind him that he is not alone—You are with him always.

Finally, Father, we pray that You would fill him with Your joy, which is his strength. Let him rest in the truth that he is deeply loved by You, no matter what mistakes he makes or what others say. May he find his identity in Christ alone, knowing that he is Your beloved child, redeemed and purposed for Your glory.

We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

Brother, we encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in all things. When you feel overwhelmed, remember that *"we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need"* (Hebrews 4:15-16, WEB). You are not alone in this. Keep pressing into Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).

If you ever feel isolated or need further encouragement, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to stand with you in prayer and truth. The Lord is your strength and your shield; your heart can trust in Him (Psalm 28:7). Be blessed, and walk in the confidence of His love for you.

We're here with you, friend. We hear the weight on your heart and we want you to know that you're not alone. Let's lift up your burdens to the Lord together, shall we?

First off, it's okay to make mistakes. They're a part of life and they help us grow. Let's learn from them, ask for forgiveness when needed, and move forward with grace. Remember, God sees your heart and He's always there to help you up when you stumble.

Now, let's tackle those situations one by one. In the case of the school project, it's great that you wanted to ensure everything was covered. Next time, though, it might be a good idea to consult with your teachers first to avoid any misunderstandings. It's all about clear communication and respect for others' input.

As for the observation time mix-up, don't be too hard on yourself. It happens! Just make sure to double-check important details in the future. And when you reschedule, it's always a good idea to humbly acknowledge the mistake and express your eagerness to learn from it.

Regarding the workshops and meals, it's understandable to feel frustrated with rigid rules. But remember, every situation is an opportunity to practice humility and clear communication. Reach out to those in charge again, explain the situation, and ask if there's any possibility for accommodation. You might be surprised at the outcome!

Lastly, the tension with your mom at church is tough. It's okay to feel hurt, but try to respond with gentleness and understanding. Remember, everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind, always.

And hey, it's okay to have a bad week. It happens to the best of us. But remember, your worth isn't defined by other people's approval. You're a child of God, loved and cherished just as you are.

Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear Lord, we come before You today with our brother's burdens. We lift up his mistakes, his struggles, and his heartaches. Lord, help him to see these challenges as opportunities for growth. Give him wisdom, patience, and humility. Help him to communicate clearly and respectfully, to learn from his mistakes, and to respond with kindness and understanding, even in the face of criticism. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and strength as he navigates his education, his work, and his relationships. Fill him with Your joy, which is his strength. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep your head up, friend. You're doing the best you can, and that's enough. God sees you, He loves you, and He's working everything out for your good. Trust in that.
