Pray for my healing from chronic stress

[Syloongeorren]

Hi,
I come to you to ask you to pray for my healing. Due to workplace bullying by my boss, I developed chronic stress and insomnia, which has caused me to rapidly age 20 years in under 2 months. I am not over-exaggerating; I am 47 years old and had perfect, flawless skin, but the stress and anxiety produced the stress hormone cortisol, which stopped all my collagen and elastic from being produced and caused all my smooth, flawless skin to immediately sag and go all wrinkled all over my body. My face got affected even worse, causing all the fat pads to disappear instantly, making my once full face go gaunt and hollow. All the skin instantly sagged on my face, causing drooping eyelids, multiple under-eye bags, deep wrinkles that look like scars. I have developed hanging jowls and a triple chin even though I am not overweight and was extremely fit before the bullying started. I always ate correctly, didn’t smoke, or drink much alcohol. I have spoken to many dermatologists and plastic surgeons, and they all say such rapid changes in appearance and skin are highly unusual, especially over a 2-month period. They say I’ve basically aged 15 years in under 8 weeks. This has caused me to develop severe depression and anxiety. I am unable to leave my home because I’m embarrassed about how I now look. I haven’t been outside for 6 months now, apart from doctor's appointments. I look like a drug addict, and I’m not. My family can’t stand to be around me because I cry all day every day. It may not seem such a major problem to you, but it makes me feel so disgusting on the inside because I know I should never have looked this way. Why am I being punished for the diabolical treatment I faced from my boss when I didn’t put a foot wrong? I’m now having financial difficulties because I can’t work even though I’ve worked my whole life. I had gotten into a good position before the bullying and was ready to buy my own home, but all my money is being drained from my account, and I worked so hard for it. I have overcome depression before when I was 31; my girlfriend of 8 years became pregnant, and it was the happiest day of my life. Unfortunately, a few months into the pregnancy, she had a miscarriage and lost our child. She then ran off with a stranger she just met and moved to NZ, leaving me heartbroken. I managed to eventually overcome this because inside I still felt good about myself; I still had confidence in who I was, but this latest incident has taken away the one thing I had that made me able to overcome things. I honestly do not feel like the same person, and I’m sorry to say I’ve reached the lowest point in my life and I’m looking for the right time to take my own life. I could never understand how people could do that, but I fully understand now. ###.

 

[Articles]

We are deeply grieved to hear of the immense suffering you have endured, and we want you to know that your pain is seen and known by our Heavenly Father. Your body, mind, and spirit have been under relentless attack, and we recognize the depth of your despair. But we must speak truth into this darkness: **you are not being punished by God.** Satan is the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he has used the cruelty of others and the brokenness of this world to wage war against you. Yet Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and He is your hope—even now.

First, we must address something critical: you mentioned reaching a point where you are considering taking your own life. **This is not God’s will for you.** Your life is precious to Him, and He has a purpose for you that the enemy seeks to cut short. Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary suffering, and it would rob you of the redemption and restoration God longs to bring. The Bible tells us, *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). You belong to Him, and He is not done writing your story.

We also notice that your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, and this is vital. There is **no other name under heaven by which we must be saved** (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Christ, there is no true healing, no lasting peace, and no eternal hope. If you *have* trusted in Him, then we encourage you to cry out to Him by name—He is your Shepherd, your Healer, and your Deliverer.

Now, let us speak to the wounds you carry. The betrayal and loss you experienced with your former girlfriend and child were devastating, and the workplace bullying has compounded that trauma in ways that feel unbearable. But God sees every tear you’ve cried (Psalm 56:8), and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). The rapid physical changes you’ve described are a testament to the severity of the stress your body has endured, but **God is the God of restoration.** He can renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31), heal your body (Jeremiah 30:17), and restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). While doctors may call your condition unusual, nothing is impossible for Him (Luke 1:37).

Your identity is not found in your appearance, your career, or even the cruelty of others. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your worth is found in Christ alone. The enemy wants you to believe you are unlovable, but God says, *"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you"* (Jeremiah 31:3). The shame you feel is a lie from the pit of hell. Jesus bore your shame on the cross so that you might walk in freedom (Hebrews 12:2).

As for your financial struggles, we remind you of Matthew 6:31-33: *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Trust Him to provide. He has not abandoned you.

We also urge you to take practical steps:
1. **Seek godly counsel.** Isolation fuels despair. Find a Bible-believing church or Christian counselor who can walk with you through this valley.
2. **Flee from bitterness.** Forgiveness is not excusing what was done to you—it is releasing the poison from *your* soul. Unforgiveness will only deepen your bondage (Hebrews 12:15).
3. **Renew your mind with Scripture.** Meditate on Philippians 4:6-8: *"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. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things."*
4. **Reject the lie that your life is over.** God specializes in resurrecting what seems dead (Ezekiel 37:1-14). Your story is not finished.

Now, let us pray for you:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who is crushed under the weight of suffering. Lord, You see the depths of their pain—the betrayal, the bullying, the physical and emotional toll, the financial strain, and the despair that has driven them to the edge. But You, O God, are the lifter of their head (Psalm 3:3). We rebuke the spirit of suicide and declare that **no weapon formed against them shall prosper** (Isaiah 54:17). Satan, you have no authority here. We command every lie, every tormenting thought, and every spirit of fear and despair to flee in Jesus’ name.

Lord, we ask for supernatural healing—body, soul, and spirit. Restore their skin, their strength, and their sleep. Renew their mind and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Father, You are the God who turns ashes into beauty (Isaiah 61:3). What the enemy meant for evil, You will use for good (Genesis 50:20). Break the chains of depression and anxiety. Let them feel Your presence so tangibly that they know they are not alone.

We pray for divine provision—open doors for employment, wisdom in finances, and restoration of what has been stolen. Surround them with Your people who will speak life and truth into their spirit. Give them the courage to step outside again, to face the world with their head held high, not in their own strength, but in Yours.

Most of all, Lord, reveal Your love to them in a way they’ve never known. Let them encounter Jesus so deeply that every lie is shattered by His truth. Remind them that their life has purpose, that their pain is not in vain, and that You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5).

We bind every spirit of rejection, shame, and hopelessness. We loose the spirit of adoption, that they may know they are Your beloved child (Romans 8:15). Fill them with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10). In the name of Jesus, we declare **they will live and not die** (Psalm 118:17), and they will testify of Your goodness in the land of the living.

Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust You to move mightily. In Jesus’ powerful name, Amen."*

Finally, we implore you: **Do not give up.** The night is darkest just before the dawn. God is working, even when you cannot see it. Cling to Him. Reach out to us again—we are here to stand with you in prayer. You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are loved with an everlasting love. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Hold on to Him. He is holding on to you.
