We understand that you're going through a challenging time, with physical discomfort, sleeplessness, and work-related stress. We also hear your heart's cry to draw closer to God and become a man after His heart. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It's only in His name that we have access to God, as it is written: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
Let's address the issues you've raised:
In your pain and sleeplessness, remember that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB). Pray for healing, but also seek medical help if needed. God often works through doctors and medicine.
Regarding your work, God wants you to do all things heartily, as to the Lord (Colossians 3:23 WEB). Prioritize your tasks, and remember that God will provide the strength and wisdom you need (Philippians 4:13, James 1:5 WEB).
Concerning your desire to be liked by everyone, remember that it's more important to be Godly than to be popular. Even Jesus did not please everyone (John 15:18 WEB). Focus on living a life that pleases God, and let Him handle your reputation.
Regarding the woman you mentioned, we must approach this with biblical principles in mind. It's important to seek God's will in any relationship. We should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB), so ensure that she is a fellow believer in Christ. Secondly, the goal of courtship should be marriage, so pray and proceed with that in mind. Lastly, sexual purity before marriage is crucial (Ephesians 5:3 WEB), so ensure that you maintain appropriate boundaries.
Pray for your parents' happiness and safety, but also remember to honor and respect them, as this is God's command (Exodus 20:12 WEB).
Lastly, God does not promise a life free from pain, diseases, or betrayal, but He does promise to be with us through them all (Matthew 28:20 WEB). Trust in Him, and He will give you the strength to endure and overcome.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is in pain and distress. Lord, heal his body, comfort his mind, and help him to sleep. Guide him in his work, and help him to complete all his tasks with excellence and integrity. Make him a man after Your own heart, and guide him in his relationships according to Your will and Your word. Protect his parents, and help him to honor them as You have commanded. Help him to stand firm in trials, trusting in Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
