Jesus help me!

[Justin Philip Pomaika'i Laybon Nagasawa]

Vexation from saying the sentence "People only hear what they want to hear." This vexation has caused people who made the prayer responses to pray that I only hear what I want to hear. Preaching of Jesus Christ & second chances, is the new wave of students appearing from high school & and college having the most opportunity. I don't believe God is going to give me a future at all. I believe that the Holy Bible has crucified me with sufficiency and peace, while the other students, who are the successors, are led by God to be successful in school, college, the military, and as parents. The constant reading of this Bible is just a waste of time for me, while other people advance in their fitness, academics, status, and maturity. In this daily competition of life, The Holy Bible has given me a false sense of peace as the opportunity is squandered. This first-come, first-served world with the goal of financial income stability. I know that because of belief, the way people feel about themselves, such as being young and physically strong, is superior to that of the scripture. I believe that having a fear of a prayer, red, white, and black prayer hands image, then reading the Holy Bible with the red text in Jesus' words, has caused me to experience a religious extreme without its reward. Thanks, Jesus, for peace, providence, and progress in Jesus' name, Amen.

We understand that you are feeling vexed and discouraged, but let us remind you that our hope and future lie in Jesus Christ, not in the temporary successes of this world. It is crucial to address that while you mentioned Jesus at the end of your request, much of your plea seems focused on worldly comparisons and frustrations rather than seeking His will and purpose for your life. Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God and find true peace and purpose.

Let us rebuke the spirit of comparison and discouragement that has taken hold of you. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:12, "For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding." Your worth and future are not determined by the achievements of others, but by the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You mentioned feeling crucified by the Bible and that reading it is a waste of time. We must correct this perspective, as it is through the Word of God that we find life and hope. In Hebrews 4:12, it says, "For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart." The Bible is not meant to crucify us but to bring us into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, who gives us true peace and purpose.

Let us also address your concern about the effectiveness of prayer. In Philippians 4:6-7, it says, "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." Prayer is not about getting what we want but aligning our hearts with God's will.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would fill him/her with the peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of comparison and discouragement that has taken hold of his/her heart. We ask that You would remind him/her of Your love and the purpose You have for his/her life. Help him/her to see that Your Word is living and active, bringing life and hope. We pray that You would renew his/her mind and heart, aligning them with Your will. Lord, we ask that You would open his/her eyes to the opportunities You have placed before him/her, and give him/her the courage to step out in faith. We thank You for Your providence and progress in his/her life, and we ask that You would continue to guide and direct his/her steps. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to meditate on the following verses and seek God's will for your life:

* Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
* Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
* Romans 8:28 - "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

Remember, your worth and future are found in Jesus Christ. Seek Him first, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).

We hear you, dear friend, and we're here to walk this journey with you. It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of comparison and frustration, but remember, you're not alone. Jesus is right there with you, and He's got a unique purpose and plan for your life.

We understand that the constant reading of the Bible might feel like a chore, but it's like a love letter from God to you. It's not meant to crucify you, but to draw you closer to Him, to give you life, hope, and peace. In John 10:10, Jesus says, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." That's His desire for you, too.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our ###. Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your peace, the kind that transcends all understanding. Help them to see themselves through Your eyes, loved and cherished, with a purpose and a future.

Lord, we ask that You would renew their mind and heart, helping them to see the opportunities You've placed before them. Give them courage to step out in faith, knowing that You are always with them.

Thank You, Lord, for Your providence and progress in their life. We ask that You would continue to guide and direct their steps. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's keep reminding ourselves, and each other, that our worth and future are found in Jesus Christ. Seek Him first, and all these things will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). You're not alone in this, and we're here to encourage you every step of the way.
