pray for my height and that God restores what was stolen as consequences
Greetings, I've been very short all my life, I tried to cope in many bad ways, for as long as I can remember, it weighs heavily on me every day and night, I can't take it anymore I feel like I am on the brink of suicide, I've been emasculated, infantilized numerous times, all of those humiliations have crushed my spirits bit by bit it's hard to see many things that men need in their lives that'll never be mine because of my condition, it's hard to see other men thrive while I'm always left behind and seem to have gotten the 'shorter' end of the stick, I try very hard to not be envious of my healthy peers that can just live their lives without having to worry about that, I humanely can't wish it upon anyone. I've often been reassured by hypocrites that have secretly looked down on me and considered me lesser because of it. all of those bitter experiences changed me for the worse.

We hear the deep pain and despair in your words, and our hearts ache with you. You are not alone in this struggle, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting your burdens to the Lord who sees, knows, and cares for you more than you can imagine. First, we must address the weight of what you’ve shared—your thoughts of suicide are a cry for help, and we urge you to seek immediate support from trusted believers, counselors, or a pastor who can walk with you through this darkness. The enemy would love to steal your hope, but we rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your life has purpose and value beyond measure.

Your height is not a reflection of your worth, though we understand how deeply this has affected you. We pray that God would strengthen your body according to His will, but even more, that He would renew your mind and spirit. The world often measures a man by outward appearances, but God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). The emasculation and humiliation you’ve endured are not from Him, and we declare that He will restore what has been broken. He is the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). We pray for healing from the bitterness and resentment that has taken root, asking the Holy Spirit to soften your heart and replace those feelings with His peace and truth.

As for relationships, we must speak plainly: the longing for companionship and marriage is God-given, but it must be pursued in a way that honors Him. If you’ve sought validation or intimacy outside of His design—whether through sinful relationships, lust, or compromise—we encourage you to repent and turn to Him for restoration. Fornication and sexual sin grieve the Lord and only deepen wounds, but His grace is sufficient to cleanse and renew (1 John 1:9). We pray that God would lead you to a godly spouse, a woman who will see your heart and value you as Christ values the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Until then, we encourage you to focus on your relationship with Him, allowing His love to fill the voids that others cannot.

You mentioned feeling like you’ve gotten the "shorter end of the stick," and we acknowledge the very real pain of unmet desires. But we also declare that God is a God of justice and restoration. He promises to repay what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and we believe He will redeem every humiliation, every tear, and every lost opportunity for His glory. Do not compare your journey to others—God’s plan for you is unique and purposeful. We pray that He would open doors for you to experience the fullness of life He intends, whether through marriage, ministry, or other avenues of fulfillment.

Most importantly, we must ask: Have you surrendered your life to Jesus Christ? It is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the hope of eternal life (John 14:6). If you have not, we urge you to confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. Without Him, there is no true healing or restoration. If you have, we pray that you would draw nearer to Him, abiding in His Word and allowing His truth to transform your mind (Romans 12:2).

Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother. We ask that You would meet him in his despair and lift him out of this pit. Heal his body, Lord, if it is Your will, but even more, heal his heart. Break the chains of bitterness, envy, and self-loathing, and replace them with Your peace and joy. Restore what has been stolen from him—his dignity, his hope, his sense of purpose. Surround him with godly men who will encourage and uplift him, and prepare him for the blessings You have in store. Father, if there is unconfessed sin in his life, reveal it to him and lead him to repentance. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit and remind him daily of his worth in Christ. We pray for a godly spouse for him, a woman who will love and cherish him as You do. Above all, draw him closer to You, Lord. Let him know that his identity is not in his height or his circumstances, but in You alone. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

You are not forgotten. You are not worthless. You are seen, known, and deeply loved by the Creator of the universe. Cling to Him, and let His truth be the foundation of your life. We will continue to stand with you in prayer.

We're here with you, friend. We understand that your struggle feels overwhelming, but remember, you're not alone. We're lifting you up in prayer, asking God to wrap His loving arms around you, to comfort you, and to fill you with His peace and hope.

We want to encourage you, brother, that your worth is not defined by your height or the opinions of others. You are a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made in His image (Psalm 139:14). God sees you, He knows your pain, and He loves you more than you can imagine.

We pray that God would strengthen you, both physically and spiritually. We ask that He would heal your heart, helping you to let go of the bitterness and resentment that you've been carrying. We pray that He would fill you with His love, His joy, and His peace.

We also lift up your relationships to God. We ask that He would guide you in His way, helping you to honor Him in all your relationships. We pray that He would lead you to a godly spouse, a woman who will love and cherish you as God does.

And finally, we pray that you would find your identity and security in Jesus Christ. He is the one who loves you unconditionally, who accepts you just as you are, and who has a purpose and a plan for your life.

You are not forgotten, you are not worthless, and you are deeply loved. Keep holding on, friend. We're here with you, and we'll continue to lift you up in prayer.

If you are already a grown man of 20 years or older you will not grow in height any more. This is the hard truth, and I am well aware of how worldly people treat men who are shorter than 5'10". God COULD make you taller than you are by supernatural power, but is that His will? Being envious of other people's successes and happiness and becoming sorrowful because of it is a deadly sin that can destroy the soul (Envy is one of the 7 deadly sins). I have had to learn this myself, and I am 5'10" tall despite this i have had lack of 'worldly success' as well. Our true life in Christ isn't measured in this way, but rather by how we love God and others by the means we are given (read Matthew ch 25). I recommend bringing your sadness and disappointments to God and making it known to Him in prayer and ask to know His will regarding your life. Also take into consideration what Jesus says to us in the Gospel "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." This is also a difficult truth and saying, and here is another said by the Apostle Paul "is there anything you have which you didn't receive?" I wouldn't keep asking for physical height but rather for growth in faith, hope, love, and all of the virtues to grow in love of God and neighbor.

I will be praying for you God bless you.
