Please keep me and my family in your prayers I have a bad mental breakdown when we running low with food and I think I have a eating disorder and we need prayers I know this sounds ungrateful I really appreciate we have a roof over our head but the water is dirty and there's no microwave in the other room for my mom and siblings and hope to find a apartment permanently so we don't have to go through this again and to continue to repent and get closer to God no matter what they do give us some hygiene stuffs and food the church I'm very grateful just would been easier for my family if we was in a place with clean water something that looks like a apartment where we can live in peace with God forever and never let anything that's holding us back in our lives again and nonstop prayers.

 

[Articles]

We hear your cry for help and stand with you in prayer, lifting every burden to the throne of grace. The battle you describe for purity of mind is real, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy through impure images and thoughts. But we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The content you were exposed to, glorifying sinful relationships, fornication, and even incest, is an abomination before God. The Bible is clear: "But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints" (Ephesians 5:3). You are not alone in this struggle, and we rebuke the shame and condemnation the enemy tries to heap upon you. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). You have already taken the first step by turning away from this sin since January 2025, and that is evidence of the Holy Spirit working in you.

We pray for you now, asking the Lord to cleanse your mind with the blood of Jesus and renew your thoughts daily. "Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10). The mornings may feel heavy, but we declare that the joy of the Lord will be your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). When those images try to resurface, we encourage you to immediately cast them down and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Replace those thoughts with Scripture, meditate on Philippians 4:8: "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." Fill your mind with worship music, prayer, and godly content. The enemy wants you to isolate yourself in shame, but we urge you to stay connected to believers who can pray for you and hold you accountable.

We also lift up your financial struggles and the weight of providing for your family. The Lord knows your needs before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8), and He promises to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We pray for a work-from-home job that aligns with your skills and honors God, one that does not require an ID if that is a barrier for you. Trust that the Lord can open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that comes with financial lack, and we declare that God will provide for you in ways you cannot imagine. The offer you received for your drawings was a potential blessing, but we understand your desire to depend solely on God. We pray that He will open even greater doors for you to use your talents for His glory and provision. "Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this" (Psalm 37:5).

For your mother and siblings, we pray for deliverance from every addiction and stronghold. The weed smoking is a bondage that the Lord can break. "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Psalm 107:20). We pray for your mother’s heart to be softened to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and for her to turn to Jesus for freedom. For your siblings, we pray for protection over their minds and hearts, that they would not follow the same paths of bondage. We also lift up your mental health, especially the eating disorder and breakdowns during times of scarcity. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who have a crushed spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray for healing and restoration in your mind and body, and for the Lord to provide a permanent, safe home for your family with clean water and peace.

We pray now in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved and can come boldly before the throne of grace:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy for our brother in Christ. We thank You for his honesty and his desire to walk in purity and holiness. Lord, we ask that You cleanse his mind of every impure image and thought. Wash him with the blood of Jesus and renew his mind daily with Your Word. Strengthen him in the mornings when the battle is fiercest, and fill him with Your joy and peace. We rebuke every attack of the enemy and declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.

Father, we lift up his financial needs to You. Open doors for a work-from-home job that honors You and provides for his family. Give him wisdom and favor as he seeks employment. We pray for provision in every area, food, hygiene, and a safe, permanent home with clean water. Meet every need according to Your riches in glory.

For his mother and siblings, we pray for deliverance from addiction and bondage. Soften their hearts to Your conviction and draw them closer to You. Heal their minds and bodies, and restore their relationships with You and one another. Lord, we ask for healing in our brother’s mental health. Break the chains of the eating disorder and anxiety, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

We declare that this family will walk in the freedom and abundance You have for them. They will not be held back by the past or present struggles, but will rise up in the power of Your Spirit. Thank You for hearing our prayer, Lord. We trust in Your faithfulness and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You are not forgotten, and you are not alone. The Lord sees your tears and hears your cries. Keep pressing into Him, even when it feels hard. "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up" (Galatians 6:9). Surround yourself with godly influences, whether through church, online communities, or Christian friends, and allow them to speak life into you. Memorize Scripture to fight the battles in your mind, and spend time in prayer and worship daily. The Lord is training you, as you said, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). We will continue to stand with you in prayer.

We hear how heavy this battle feels, the intrusive thoughts that circle back and the mornings that start with your mind already tired. That wears on a person, and we are sorry you’re carrying it. You are not weak for feeling this way. You are someone who has been walking away from something harmful for over a year, and every day you keep turning from it is a genuine victory, even when it doesn’t feel like one.

You mentioned not always knowing how to pray, and we want you to know that is more common than you think, especially when your brain feels fuzzy or under attack. Sometimes prayer can just be a few honest words: “Jesus, help me right now.” He honors that. Mornings sound like your hardest time. What if you set one small anchor, before your feet hit the floor, speak His name out loud, just once? Not a long prayer. Just the first word of the day. That simple act can be a defiant line in the sand against the thoughts that try to own your morning.

The drawing offer you mentioned stood out. You turned it down because you want to depend on God alone, and we honor that deep desire. But sometimes God’s provision comes through the abilities He gave you and the doors He opens. A person paying you for honest creative work is not you depending on them instead of God, it is you stewarding the talent He planted in you. That could still be a healthy avenue for a work-from-home arrangement, using what you already love doing.

On the practical side, the dirty water in your home is a serious weight, and we are praying about it with you. When the church already helps with food and hygiene supplies, is there an elder or deacon there you can trust with the full picture of what your family is facing? They may not fix everything overnight, but they need to know so they can walk with you. And because you mentioned the struggle with food and the sense that an eating disorder might be present, we would gently encourage you, alongside prayer, to tell a doctor or a pastor about that specific concern so you are not battling it alone.

We are praying for you now.

Lord Jesus, we lift up this dear sister. The thoughts that plague her mind, quiet them. Break the cycle that feels relentless, and let morning become a time of peace instead of dread. Provide clean water for her family and open a safe door for stable work. Guard her mother and siblings, meet their material needs, and draw each of them toward wholeness. Strengthen her to keep turning toward You, trusting that even a small, shaky prayer is heard. In Your name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

It is a mercy that you feel the foulness of these intruding thoughts, for there are many who are past feeling and whose conscience is seared as with a hot iron. The very fact that you hate them, that you cry out against them, is some token that the Spirit of God is still striving within you. But you must not parley with these images, nor suffer them to abide for an instant. The mind is a palace and Christ is its rightful King; let no thief enter and set up his vile pictures there. Did not Job make a covenant with his eyes? And must not you make a covenant with your memory and your fancy? When the evil thought first knocks, cry out, “Lead us not into temptation!” and slam the door. For it is not merely the act, it is the thought; it is not the deed simply, it is the very imagination, that is a sin. Our Lord has taught us that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath already committed adultery in his heart. How much more then, when the mind has once been defiled with that which is both unnatural and unlawful, must every recollected image be instantly slain with the sword of the Spirit!

You speak of having watched and allowed these things, and now the devil shoots his fiery darts into your soul unbidden in the morning watch. This is the bitter fruit of sin: it leaves a stain that is not soon washed out. But there is a fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin. You confess that you deserve a clean mind, and indeed you do not deserve it, none of us deserve anything but stripes, yet our gracious God is ready to forgive and to renew. His thoughts are not your thoughts; you may look upon your sin as a trifle, but the Judge of all the earth thinks far otherwise. Yet even so, His thoughts toward you are thoughts of love, and how precious are they! He knows the sum of them, and from everlasting He has devised a way of deliverance for such as you. Only cling to the cross, and the sting of death which lurks in this carnal lust shall be drawn out. For lust, when it hath conceived, bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. You have tasted the bitterness; do not return to it as a dog to its vomit.

Your poverty, the foul water, the want of a home, all these are trials, and they may also become temptations if you let them breed discontent and unbelief. But remember that the same trial may be both a trial from God’s side and a temptation from Satan’s side. Trust your heavenly Father for daily bread; He who feeds the ravens will not starve His children. Yet I rejoice that you desire a work-from-home employment, for honest labour is a hedge against many sins. The idle mind is the devil’s workshop. But even in your need, do not cast away your confidence. It is good to depend on God alone; He will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. As for the eating disorder, that too is a burden He can lift. Commit it to Him who understands the frame of dust. Your mother’s bondage to the weed, your own mental weakness, all these are cases for prayer, prayer, unceasing prayer. But know this: you cannot pray in your own strength. The Spirit helpeth our infirmities. When you cannot form a word, groan; and He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit.

Beware of idleness and of feeding upon that common literature which spots the soul. If you would be spotless, you must beware of the vanities and pleasures of this world, the thoughts and the tendencies of this present evil age. Fill the mind with Scripture, with the precious thoughts of God, and there will be no room for the foul intruders. When the birds of evil come flying over your head, you cannot prevent them; but you can prevent them from building a nest in your hair. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. And when you awake, let your first thought be, “I am still with Thee.” The morning season is often the hardest for those who are cast down; therefore ere your feet touch the floor, lift your heart to heaven and say, “Lord, keep me this day without sin. Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from the evil one.”

Do not despair over your slowness in learning to pray. The disciples also had to ask, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Open your Bible, and let the psalms be your tutor. Read them aloud, and make them your own cry. And do not neglect the assembling of yourselves together with the saints. You speak of the church’s help; be often there, for the fellowship of believers is a means of grace. And look to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. His eyes have an overcoming power; as we look to Him, He overcomes our stubborn wills and makes us clean. He has overcome the world, and He can overcome these evil memories. Cast yourself wholly upon Him, and He will restore unto you the joy of His salvation.

For your family and for yourself I will earnestly pray, and I charge you to continue instant in prayer. The trial may be long, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. The weakness of the morning shall give way to the strength of noonday if you lean upon your Beloved. I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
