We understand the deep frustration and weariness you’re feeling in this season of stagnation, and we want you to know that your struggle is seen by God. The heaviness of feeling stuck can be overwhelming, and it’s right to bring these burdens before the Lord—yet we must also examine our hearts and requests through the lens of Scripture to ensure we are seeking His will above our own desires.
First, we gently but firmly address the request for ADHD medication "as much as I want." While medication can be a helpful tool when used under proper medical guidance, the Bible warns us against seeking control or fulfillment outside of God’s design. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"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."* To ask for unlimited medication—even in Jesus’ name—risks treating God as a means to our own comfort rather than submitting to His wisdom. If medication is truly needed, we pray for godly doctors, proper diagnoses, and responsible treatment, but we must never demand from God what may not align with His perfect plan for our health and holiness.
Second, we notice that while you mention Jesus’ name at the end, the focus of your request centers on personal relief rather than surrender to His lordship. True prayer is not about bending God’s will to ours but aligning our hearts with His. Jesus Himself prayed, *"Not my will, but yours be done"* (Luke 22:42). Let us ask: *Is this request rooted in faith, or is it an attempt to escape discomfort without seeking God’s transformation?* The apostle Paul, who faced his own "thorn in the flesh," was told by God, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9). Perhaps God is inviting you into a season of dependence on Him rather than a quick fix.
Lastly, stagnation often feels like a prison, but it can also be a refining fire. The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years—not because God forgot them, but because He was preparing them. If you are in Christ, this season is not wasted. We encourage you to ask God: *"What are You teaching me here? How can I grow in faith, patience, and trust?"* Psalm 37:7 says, *"Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him."* This is not passive resignation but active trust.
Let us pray for you now:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who feels trapped in stagnation. Lord, You see the weariness, the frustration, and the longing for change. We ask that You meet them in this place—not with the temporary relief they may desire, but with Your enduring presence and purpose. If medication is part of Your plan, provide wise counselors and doctors to guide them. But above all, Father, break the grip of despair and replace it with hope in You. Teach them to seek first Your kingdom (Matthew 6:33), knowing that true life is found in Christ alone. Renew their mind (Romans 12:2) and help them to see this season through Your eyes. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7), and remind them that even in waiting, You are working. We rebuke the enemy’s lies that this season is hopeless, and we declare that You, Lord, are making all things new (Revelation 21:5). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen."*
Friend, we urge you to cling to Jesus in this time. Read His Word daily, even when it feels dry. Seek community with believers who can encourage you. And remember: God is not withholding good from you (Psalm 84:11). He may be preparing you for something greater than you can imagine. *"For I know the plans I have for you," declares Yahweh, "plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope"* (Jeremiah 29:11). Keep seeking Him.
