Dead Lord, I’m dealing with anxiety and I’m hanging on by a thread and I want to enjoy living. I ask you to remove this and help me through this tough time.

We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep struggle, lifting your heartache and weariness to the One who holds all things together. Your cry for help has not gone unheard—our Heavenly Father sees you, loves you, and longs to carry this burden for you. The anxiety you’re facing is real, but so is the peace and strength that Jesus offers to those who trust in Him. We are deeply concerned, however, that you addressed this prayer to the "Dead Lord." Friend, this is a dangerous and deceptive lie from the enemy. Jesus Christ is *not* dead—He is alive forevermore! He conquered death and the grave, and because He lives, we too can have life in Him. The Bible declares in **Revelation 1:18**, *"I am the living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore! I have the keys of Death and of Hades."* If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, this is the most urgent matter before you. Without Him, there is no true hope, no lasting peace, and no access to the Father. **John 14:6** tells us, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*. Salvation comes through repenting of your sins and placing your faith in Jesus Christ alone. If you have not done this, we plead with you to surrender your life to Him today. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (**Acts 4:12**).
For those who are in Christ, anxiety is not your portion—it is a tool the enemy uses to steal your joy and faith. But God has given us weapons to fight back. **Philippians 4:6-7** commands 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."* You are not meant to hang on by a thread—you are meant to be held by the hands of the Almighty. **1 Peter 5:7** reminds us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* This is not a suggestion; it is an invitation to release what you cannot control into the hands of the One who can.
We also urge you to examine your life for any unconfessed sin, ungodly influences, or areas where you may be relying on your own strength rather than the Lord’s. Anxiety can often be a signal that we are trying to carry burdens we were never meant to bear. **Psalm 55:22** says, *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."* Are you spending time in God’s Word daily? Are you filling your mind with truth, or are you consuming things that feed fear and despair? **Romans 12:2** tells us, *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."* If you are not rooted in Scripture, you will be easily shaken by the storms of life.
Additionally, we encourage you to seek godly community. Isolation often magnifies anxiety, but fellowship with believers can bring encouragement and accountability. **Hebrews 10:24-25** says, *"Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."* If you are not part of a Bible-believing church, we strongly urge you to find one where you can be discipled and supported.
Finally, if your anxiety is so severe that you feel you are in danger, please reach out to a trusted believer, pastor, or counselor *immediately*. God often uses others to minister to us in our time of need. There is no shame in seeking help—it is wise and biblical to do so (**Proverbs 11:14**).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this precious soul who is struggling under the weight of anxiety and despair. Lord, we rebuke the lie that You are dead—for You are the Living God, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. We pray that if this person does not know You as Savior, You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Convict them of their need for Jesus, and draw them to repentance and faith in Him alone. Let them experience the new birth that comes only through Your Son.
For the one who does know You, Father, we ask that You would flood their heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Break the chains of anxiety that have bound them and replace their fear with faith. Remind them that You are their Shepherd, and they shall not want (**Psalm 23:1**). When they feel weak, be their strength (**2 Corinthians 12:9**). When they feel overwhelmed, be their refuge (**Psalm 46:1**). Lord, expose any areas of sin, unbelief, or worldly influence that may be contributing to this struggle. Give them the courage to surrender it all to You.
We pray for godly community to surround them—believers who will lift them up, pray with them, and point them to Your Word. If they need professional help, lead them to counselors who are grounded in Your truth. Father, restore their joy in You. Help them to delight in Your presence and to trust in Your goodness, even in the midst of the storm.
We declare that the enemy has no authority over this life. **2 Timothy 1:7** tells us that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. We claim that promise now. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and renew their mind with Your truth. Let them rise up in victory, knowing that the battle belongs to You.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Living Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, friend, feeling the weight of anxiety and the struggle to find joy in each day. We understand, and we want you to know that you're not alone. Jesus sees you, He loves you, and He's right there with you, ready to carry this burden.
First, let's set the record straight about Jesus. He's not dead; He's very much alive! He conquered death and the grave, and because He lives, we too can have life in Him. In Revelation 1:18, Jesus says, "I am the Living One. I was dead, and now I am alive for ever and ever!" So, let's cling to that truth and cast aside any lies that try to tell us otherwise.
Now, about this anxiety. It's a tough opponent, but remember, you're not fighting alone. God has given us weapons to fight back: prayer, petition, thanksgiving, and trust in Him. Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." So, let's flood our hearts and minds with prayer and thanksgiving, and watch as His peace guards our hearts and minds.
We also want to encourage you to examine your life. Are there any unconfessed sins, ungodly influences, or areas where you might be relying on your own strength instead of God's? Anxiety can often be a signal that we're trying to carry burdens we were never meant to bear. Psalm 55:22 says, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." So, let's cast our burdens on the Lord and trust that He will sustain us.
Are you spending time in God's Word daily? Are you filling your mind with truth, or are you consuming things that feed fear and despair? Romans 12:2 tells us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." If we're not rooted in Scripture, we'll be easily shaken by life's storms.
Lastly, let's not forget the power of community. Isolation can magnify anxiety, but fellowship with believers can bring encouragement and accountability. Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us, "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." So, let's seek out godly community and encourage one another.
Now, let's pray. Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our friend struggling with anxiety and despair. Lord, we rebuke the lie that You are dead, for You are the Living God, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. We pray that if our friend does not know You as Savior, You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Convict them of their need for Jesus and draw them to repentance and faith in Him alone. Let them experience the new birth that comes only through Your Son. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
