Jesus Christ please help me

Dwsariator

Servant of All
Dear God please help me get my work done correctly and on time. I'm scared that I am loosing my mind because I want to go back home and lay on my bed and drink alcohol and pretend that it's going to be okay. I don't want to be at work today because I have too much work to do and I feel bad with my AUD and my AWS. Please let it be 5 pm so I can go back home and drink a beer and have a Jim beam and Sprite and please let me win the lottery so that I don't have to work anymore. I want to just lay in my bed all day and to hide myself from my work and my wife and my son. I'm sorry that I feel like this. Not sure if I can do this anymore. I hope that you can help me because I just want a break from work and from having so many responsibilities it's beginning to really bother me. Please forgive me. I need help
 
We hear the deep anguish in your words, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The weight of responsibility, the struggle with alcohol, and the longing for escape are heavy burdens to carry, but Scripture reminds us that we can cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). The fact that you are crying out, even in desperation, shows that there is still a part of you seeking help, and that is a sign of hope.

First, we must address the alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) you mentioned. The Bible warns us clearly about the dangers of drunkenness: "Do not get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). Alcohol may promise temporary relief, but it only deepens the cycle of bondage and despair. The desire to numb yourself with alcohol is understandable, but it is not God’s design for your life. Instead, He offers true rest and freedom in Christ. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in your life in the name of Jesus. You are not meant to be enslaved to anything, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery" (Galatians 5:1).

Your longing for escape, whether through alcohol, the lottery, or isolation, reveals a deeper cry for rest and peace. But true rest is not found in running away from responsibilities or numbing pain; it is found in surrendering to Christ. Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-29). He is not calling you to hide in your bed or in a bottle, but to come to Him with your exhaustion and let Him carry the weight.

We also want to gently address your relationship with your wife and son. The desire to withdraw from them is a sign that the enemy is seeking to isolate you, because he knows that isolation leads to destruction. God designed marriage and family as a source of strength, accountability, and love. "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Do not pull away from them in this struggle. Instead, let them be a support to you, and let God use them to remind you of His love.

We must also speak truth about the lottery. The desire for a quick escape from work through financial windfall is not God’s plan for provision. Scripture warns, "Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction" (1 Timothy 6:9). God calls us to work diligently, but He also calls us to trust Him for our needs. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" (Colossians 3:23). Your worth is not tied to your job or your productivity, but to your identity as a child of God.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother who is crying out in pain. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains of addiction in his life. We rebuke the spirit of alcohol that seeks to destroy him, and we declare that he is set free by the blood of Jesus. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let him know the true rest that only You can provide. Father, we ask that You would strengthen him in his work today. Give him focus, clarity, and the ability to complete his tasks with excellence. But more than that, remind him that his worth is not found in his productivity, but in Your love for him.

Lord, we pray for his marriage and his relationship with his son. Soften his heart toward them, and let him see them as gifts from You. Protect his family from the enemy’s lies that seek to divide them. Surround him with godly men who can walk alongside him in this battle. Provide him with the support and resources he needs to overcome this struggle with alcohol. Lead him to a community of believers who can pray for him, encourage him, and hold him accountable.

Father, we ask that You would meet his financial needs in ways that glorify You. Remove the temptation of the lottery and replace it with trust in Your provision. Help him to see that You are his Provider, and that You will never leave him nor forsake him. Lord, we ask that You would restore his joy, his hope, and his peace. Let him know that he is not alone, and that You are with him in every moment of this battle.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who has overcome the world and who offers true freedom. Amen.

You are not meant to carry this burden alone. Reach out to your pastor, a trusted friend, or a Christian counselor who can help you walk through this season. There are also Christian recovery programs like Celebrate Recovery that can provide support specifically for struggles with addiction. You are loved, you are valued, and there is hope in Christ. Do not give up. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). Keep crying out to Him, He hears you.
 
Friend, we hear the exhaustion and fear behind every word you wrote. The weight of too much work, the longing to just hide, the pull of a drink to quiet it all, it’s a crushing place to be, and you’re not weak for feeling that. You’re honest, and that honesty is a lifeline. Right now, even in the guilt and the wanting to escape, you’re still reaching out to God. That matters.

What you’re describing with alcohol isn’t a simple weakness, it has a grip that can be dangerous to break alone, especially if your body has come to depend on it. We want you safe. A doctor or an addiction specialist can help you step back without risking serious withdrawal. That’s not a sign of failure; it’s smart, and it’s a way to start reclaiming your life. Many people find that a support group like AA or a church-based recovery group gives them a place where they don’t have to pretend.

And we’d gently encourage you not to carry this all by yourself. Your wife and son may already sense the distance. Even a small, honest confession, “I’m really struggling and I need help”, can crack open the isolation and let a little light in. You don’t have to fix everything today. Just take one brave, small step.

Lord Jesus, you see this man right at his desk, heart pounding, mind circling. You don’t despise his brokenness; you welcome it. Give him the courage to make a call that leads toward healing, a doctor, a counselor, a trusted friend. Guard him from the false comfort of a beer and a lottery daydream, and draw him toward the true rest that only you can give. Surround him with people who will love him through this, and quiet the shame that tells him to hide. We ask for hope to flicker back to life, right in the middle of this hard day. Amen.
 
You feel the weight of many responsibilities, and your soul cries out for ease, but the rest you seek in the beer and the spirits is a false and fleeting comfort. Strong drink promises escape, yet it delivers only deeper bondage and a heavier heart. You say, “I want to hide myself from my work and my wife and my son.” This desire springs not from true rest, but from the very anxiety that unfits you for your duties. Do you not see how the anxiety itself, because of your difficulty, makes you less able to meet that difficulty? You are tempted to flee to bed and bottle, but that is to run from the place where God has set you.

The Lord Jesus calls you not to idleness or to the numbing of your senses, but to Himself. He says, “Son, go work today in My vineyard.” That word “Son” puts a gracious footing under your labour. You are not a mere beast of burden; you are a child of God if you have trusted Christ, and your daily toil, your care for your family, is work appointed for you. When you cry for a lottery win to escape work forever, you are asking to be excused from the very service in which your Heavenly Father would shape and bless you. The work you dread is not the hinge on which the universe turns, but it is your own little plot in the vineyard. Neglect it, and you wound your own soul and those who depend on you.

But you are not left to your own strength. The Apostle Paul spoke of a mighty work within, yet he also said, “Whereunto I also labour.” The Spirit’s work in us does not make us slothful; it stirs us to action. And your greatest need is not a change of circumstances, but a deep inward work of grace. Pray without ceasing. Not with ceaseless words, but with a heart constantly lifted up. As you handle your tasks, let your spirit silently cry, “Lord, help me. Lord, establish the work of my hands.” Do not tell yourself you are losing your mind; bring your troubled thoughts to the Mercy Seat. When the craving for drink rises, flee to that throne of grace. You have confessed your sin, now believe that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin. There is no condemnation for those who are in Him.

And here is your solid ground: the finished work of Christ. You look at your own work and are dismayed; it is always a cause for anxiety if you make it your trust. But look away from your own doings to what Jesus has done. He cried, “It is finished,” and that is the salvation of every sinner who casts himself wholly upon it. Your acceptance with God rests not on your getting through your workday, but on Christ’s atoning death and resurrection. Let that finished work appear to you as a servant of God, and it will remove your gnawing anxiety. You are complete in Him. This is not an excuse to lie idle; it is the only power that enables a man to rise up and work with a quiet heart, because his standing is secure.

Your wife and your son need you sober and present. The love of Christ constrains you to be a husband who loves as Christ loved the church, and a father who brings up his children in the nurture of the Lord. Your present misery is in part the natural fruit of wrong desires. Repent, and turn from every false refuge. Make no provision for the flesh. Instead, seek out a brother in the faith to pray with you and hold you accountable. The Lord has not abandoned you. He who began a good work in you will carry it on. Go then today, not to your bed, but to your God in prayer, and then to your duties, trusting Him who said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” He will be your light in this dark hour, and He will establish the work of your hands.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
You cry out for a break, for a bed and a drink and a lottery ticket to free you from work, from wife, from son. Hearken to what you are really saying: you seek to hide from life itself. But this hiding is no rest; it is the devil’s lie. He shows you a couch and a bottle and whispers that all will be well, but behind that false peace lies only shame, a dulled mind, and the ruin of your soul. Do you not know that he who despises the threat of such a life will soon feel its execution? Nothing is so profitable as to set hell before your eyes. Fear the fire more than you crave that Jim Beam. The fear of punishment has more power than ten thousand promises, and those who tremble at the judgment seat are not the ones who fall under it.

You feel you are losing your mind because of the weight of your duties. Yet this very weight is allowed by God for your training. The Apostle says we are pressed on every side, but not driven to despair. The righteous who toil for a moment are crowned forever, while those who seek luxury now draw upon themselves endless ages of vengeance. This present life is but a single breath; do not trade an eternal kingdom for the fleeting numbness of alcohol. When things seem worst, that is precisely when faith must stand firm, believing that nothing adverse is truly happening, but all things work in order for those who cling to God.

You speak of wanting to hide from your wife and son. See what the devil does: he isolates you, making you like a wild beast that shuns the herd. But you are not a beast; you are a member of the Body of Christ. We who are many are one bread, one body. You cannot cut yourself off from that communion and expect to heal. Come out of that imagined refuge. The very hiding is your sickness.

And do not dare to despair. That monster, the devil, never despairs of destroying you, yet we so quickly despair of our own salvation. This is a great condemnation. Will you let him outlast you in hope? Flee from this temptation while you can. You have seized the thought of repentance by crying out for help; now run and do not look back. If you linger, the enemy will overtake you. God’s grace is sufficient, even now, even for the sins you are ashamed to name. Before you knew that remission was possible, you were in agony; now that you know, what excuse will you have if you do not even begin to examine your sins and turn?

You ask Jesus Christ to help you. Then refuse Him not when He speaks from heaven. He shakes not only the earth now but heaven itself, that everything shaken may be removed. This world and its sorrows will pass away; why do you grieve as though they will last? Use that grief to drive you to your knees, not to a bottle. The work you dread, the family that feels like a burden, these are not your enemies. The true enemy would see you drunk and dreaming of a lottery that will never free your soul. Wake up. Bear your cross for this brief hour, that you may not bear the fire that proves every man’s work of what sort it is.

Confess your weakness before God. Let the church see your struggle, so that you may be ashamed into healing, but not so shamed that you are cut off by despair. Forsake the drink today. Not tomorrow. Now. The escape you seek is found only in the wounds of Christ, who can wash away all filth and set you in safety. Do this, and you will find the very rest your soul has been chasing in all the wrong places.
 
Your words carry the weight of a soul that is exhausted, and that honesty before God is not something to be sorry for. It is the beginning of a place where He can meet you. What you are feeling, the pull to escape, to numb the ache of so many responsibilities, to hide from the very life God has given you, that is not a sign that you have lost your mind. It is a sign that you have been trying to carry the weight of your world on your own shoulders, and you were never meant to do that. The philosophy of this age will tell you that despair is the only honest conclusion, but that is a lie. Despair is not the deepest reality; it is a vicious cycle that eats away at hope until you feel you have to take a leap into something false just to survive. But you were not made for a leap into a bottle or a lottery ticket. You were made to enter a rest that has already been secured.

That drive to just lay everything down and hide is understandable, but God is calling you to something much better: to lay everything down at His feet. Right now, you are looking at your work, your marriage, your son, and it all feels like an enemy pressing in. But God’s perspective is different. He is more concerned with what He is working in you right now than with what you are producing for Him. Often when we feel those clumsy edges being chipped away, we scream. We don’t understand why a particular trial has to come, and we beg for relief. But it is necessary that God first do a work in us before He can do a lasting work through us. This place of pain is not proof of His absence. It is the very workshop of His grace, where He is preparing you for something greater for His glory, even if you cannot see it yet.

I want you to hear something that may lift a burden you’ve been carrying for a long time. The most important work has already been finished. Jesus Christ accomplished the complete work of your redemption on the cross. There is nothing you can do to make God love you more, and there is nothing you can do to save yourself from this pit. Your standing with God does not depend on your perfect time management, your sobriety, or your performance as a husband and father. It depends entirely on the finished work of Christ. Jesus said He came to finish the Father’s work, and He did. He rested from that work, and He invites you to cease from your own futile labors and rest in what He has done. You do not have to add a single drop of your own effort to secure His favor. What must you do to do the work of God? Jesus answered clearly: the work of God is to believe in the One whom He has sent. Right now, that is your primary calling, not to win the lottery or escape, but to believe.

However, do not mistake that rest for a license to do nothing. The Scripture is clear that if a man is able to work and will not, he is living in a disorderly way. But right now, your inability is not just a matter of a stubborn will; it is a matter of a wounded soul. The desire to hide in bed and drink is a false refuge, a counterfeit rest that will only leave you emptier. The same God who has begun a good work in you is faithful to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. He is not finished with you. That feeling of being overwhelmed by your responsibilities is a signal not to abandon your post, but to ask God to stir up a willing heart within you to do the work He has set before you with quietness. In the great work of the tabernacle, God did not just command the task; He stirred the hearts of the wise men to come and do the work. Ask Him to stir your heart, not through the numbing agent of alcohol, but through the powerful presence of His Spirit.

Your struggle with alcohol is a real foe, but it is not stronger than the One who has grabbed hold of you. You are scared of losing your mind, but God has not given you a spirit of fear. He has blessed you with a wife and a son. They are not the cause of your burden; they are part of the good work God wants to preserve. Do not hate the life He has given you; invite Him into the middle of it. Be patient. So often our impatience gets in the way of God’s work. If you wait long enough, God will work this out, but He will do it His way. You want a break from the load, and Jesus does offer you a light yoke, but it is found in taking His burden, not in casting off all discipline. Let this moment of crisis drive you not to the dark isolation of your bedroom with a drink, but to the foot of the cross, where the work is finished and the real rest begins. You are forgiven. Now, walk in that forgiveness by trusting His work instead of your own desperate plans to escape.
