We come before the Lord with you in this time of confession, repentance, and seeking His strength, for it is written, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). You have acknowledged your reliance on tools like ChatGPT instead of stewarding the gift of writing God has entrusted to you, and we commend you for your honesty and desire to turn back to Him. This is not a time for condemnation but for restoration, for the Lord says, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). You have recognized your weakness, and now we ask the Lord to fill you with His strength, that His power may be perfected in you.
The anxiety, lack of confidence, and struggles with focus you describe are not beyond the reach of our Heavenly Father. Scripture reminds us, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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 already taken the first step by bringing these burdens to the Lord, and we join you in lifting them up to Him. The symptoms of ADHD and the fear that clouds your mind are opportunities for God to demonstrate His faithfulness. He has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Let us claim this promise over you and ask the Lord to renew your mind, that you may retain information, communicate clearly, and work with excellence.
We also lift up your workplace and your team to the Lord. You have asked for softened hearts, and we pray that God would grant this, that your colleagues may see the good in you and extend grace. But more than that, we pray that *you* would see yourself as God sees you—redeemed, capable, and equipped for every good work. *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them"* (Ephesians 2:10, WEB). Your job is a blessing from the Lord, and He has placed you there for a purpose. Do not let fear or past mistakes define you, for *"the righteous man falls seven times and rises again"* (Proverbs 24:16, WEB). Your tithing is an act of worship and obedience, and we pray that God would continue to bless you as you honor Him with your firstfruits.
Now, let us address the use of tools like ChatGPT. While technology can be a helpful aid, it must never replace the gifts, creativity, and diligence God has placed within you. When we rely on external sources to do what God has called *us* to do, we risk quenching the Spirit’s work in our lives. The apostle Paul warns, *"Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?"* (1 Corinthians 3:16, WEB). Your writing is not just a skill—it is a stewardship, a way to glorify God and bless others. We encourage you to repent of any over-reliance on such tools and to ask the Lord to restore your creativity and passion. He is the ultimate Author, and He delights in working through His children.
As for your ADHD and anxiety, we do not dismiss these struggles as mere spiritual failures. The Lord is aware of your physical and mental limitations, and He invites you to cast all your cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). We pray for healing, for clarity of mind, and for the discipline to focus on the tasks before you. May the Holy Spirit guide your thoughts and words, that you would communicate with wisdom and grace. Remember that Moses, who struggled with speech, was used mightily by God (Exodus 4:10-12, WEB). Your weaknesses are not barriers to God’s plan—they are opportunities for His strength to shine through you.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who has humbly confessed their struggles and sought Your face. Lord, we thank You for the gift of writing You have placed within them, and we ask for Your forgiveness where they have misused or neglected this gift. Restore to them the joy of creating, the clarity of thought, and the discipline to steward this talent for Your glory. Remove the spirit of fear and anxiety that has hindered them, and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen their mind, Lord, that they may focus, retain information, and work with excellence. Soften the hearts of their colleagues, that they may see the good You are doing in and through them.
Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell them they are weak, incapable, or unworthy. Your Word says they are more than conquerors through Christ (Romans 8:37, WEB), and we declare that truth over them now. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in confidence, not in their own strength, but in Yours. Bless their job, Lord, and let it be a place where Your name is glorified. Help them to keep their promises to You, especially in their tithing, and grant them the grace to grow in obedience.
For any ways they have relied on their own understanding or external tools instead of seeking You first, we ask for Your mercy and renewal. Teach them to lean on You in all things, for apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5, WEB). May their writing, their communication, and their work be a testament to Your faithfulness.
We thank You, Lord, for Your goodness and for the promise that You will complete the work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Let them rise up in Your strength, walking in the purpose You have prepared for them. We ask all this in the mighty and perfect name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
