Praying to become hikikomori and self-isolation from the world.

[Dexter2020]

Praying to become hikikomori and self-isolation from the world. No need to associate with anyone. Just be in my own world and self-isolation in a room for withdrawal of up to 6 months or a year. I need not socialize or spend money in Singapore and just be myself since the world has forgotten me and the so called Jesus and his nonsense now everything is hopeless so the only situation to this is self isolate from the rest of the world and even stepping out of the house and taking public transport can be overwhelming and cost too much money so I have to save up, and I have resorted to calling grab food, and doing everything virtual. Since virtual can bring me so much happiness and I only need to stay in my own room and comfort zone and need not attend church f2f and read the bible and I could be myself in my virtual world no one can hurt me anymore.

We come before you with heavy hearts after reading this request, for we see deep pain, bitterness, and a spirit of despair that has taken hold. Beloved, we must speak truth in love—this path of isolation you seek is not God’s will for your life. The enemy has twisted your pain into a lie that withdrawal is the answer, but Christ calls us to something far greater: *abundant life in Him* (John 10:10). You speak of Jesus as "nonsense," yet it is only through His name that true peace, hope, and restoration are found. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and without Him, all efforts to find fulfillment—even in solitude—will leave you empty.

You say the world has forgotten you, but hear this truth: *God has not forgotten you.* He knows every tear you’ve cried, every wound that has driven you to retreat. In Psalm 139:7-10, David declares, *"Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning, and live in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me."* Even in your darkest isolation, He is with you—but His desire is not for you to stay there. He calls you *out* of the shadows into His light (1 Peter 2:9).

Your pain is real, and we do not dismiss it. The overwhelm of social interaction, the financial strain, the fear of being hurt—these are heavy burdens. But isolation is not the remedy; it is a prison. Proverbs 18:1 warns, *"A man who isolates himself pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment."* God designed us for community (Hebrews 10:24-25), not because the world is safe, but because *He is our refuge* (Psalm 46:1). You speak of virtual happiness, but screens cannot replace the touch of a friend’s hand, the encouragement of a brother or sister in Christ, or the joy of worshipping *together* with the body of believers (Psalm 133:1). Even the early church, persecuted and scattered, did not retreat into solitude—they *gathered* (Acts 2:42-47).

We must also address the bitterness toward Jesus. You call His truth "nonsense," yet it is the very truth that sets us free (John 8:32). If you have been hurt by the church or by those who claim His name, we grieve with you—for wolves in sheep’s clothing have caused many to stumble (Matthew 7:15). But do not let the failures of man blind you to the love of Christ, who *never* fails (2 Timothy 2:13). He bore your pain on the cross so you would not have to bear it alone. He offers living water so you’ll never thirst again (John 4:14)—not the temporary comfort of a virtual world, but *eternal* satisfaction in Him.

As for finances, we understand the fear of lack, but remember: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). Trusting Him does not mean reckless spending, but neither does it mean hoarding in fear. He calls us to be good stewards (Luke 16:10-12), not slaves to anxiety.

Lastly, we rebuke the spirit of hopelessness that has taken root. Hopelessness is a lie from the pit of hell. Romans 15:13 declares, *"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit."* Your feelings are valid, but they are not your master. Christ is.

**Let us pray:**

Heavenly Father, we lift this beloved soul to You, broken and weary, seeking refuge in isolation instead of in Your arms. Lord, break the chains of bitterness, fear, and despair that have bound them. Soften their heart toward You, Jesus, and remind them that You are *good*—that Your plans for them are for *welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope* (Jeremiah 29:11).

Father, we rebuke the spirit of hopelessness and the lie that withdrawal is the answer. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is *Comforter, Counselor, and Guide* (John 14:26). Surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and lead them to a community of believers who will walk with them in love and truth.

Lord, heal the wounds that have made trust so hard. If they have been hurt by Your people, forgive us, Father, for we have failed them. But let them not turn from You—*the only One who will never leave nor forsake them* (Deuteronomy 31:6). Restore their joy in Your presence. Give them courage to step out, one small step at a time, knowing You go before them.

We pray for provision—financial, emotional, and spiritual. Teach them to trust You with their needs, and break the grip of fear over their finances. Let them experience Your faithfulness in tangible ways.

Most of all, Father, *draw them back to Yourself*. Let them encounter Your love so powerfully that isolation loses its appeal. Remind them that You are their *strong tower* (Proverbs 18:10), their *shepherd* (Psalm 23), and their *ever-present help* (Psalm 46:1).

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. *Amen.*

---
Beloved, we urge you: *Do not give up.* The enemy wants you alone, but God is calling you *home*—to His heart and to His people. Start small. Open your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you. Reach out to *one* trusted believer, even if just by message. Take a single step outside, breathing in the air God created, and thank Him for it. You are *not* forgotten. You are *loved*. And in Christ, there is *always* hope. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Let Him save you. Let Him heal you. You are worth fighting for.

We understand your struggle, dear friend. We've been there too, feeling overwhelmed by the world, the noise, the expectations. It's easy to retreat into a shell, to wish for a quiet room where we can just be ourselves. But remember, God didn't create us to live in isolation. He created us for community, for connection, for love.

We're not dismissing your pain, your fear, your bitterness. They're real, and they're valid. But we want to remind you of something: God is real too. He's not distant, not forgotten. He's right here, right now, with you. In your quiet room, in your virtual world, He's there. He sees you, He hears you, He feels your pain.

You've mentioned Jesus, but it seems there's some hurt there. We're sorry for that. We're sorry for the times the church has failed you, for the times people have let you down. But please, don't let that harden your heart against Jesus. He's not the problem; He's the solution. He's the one who can heal your wounds, who can fill that void you're feeling.

We're not saying it's easy. Stepping out, socializing, it's scary. But remember, God is with you. He's your refuge, your strength, your shield. He's got you, every step of the way.

And as for finances, trust Him. He sees your needs, He knows your struggles. He's got a plan, and it's a good one. He won't let you down.

So, let's take this one step at a time, together. Let's pray, let's hope, let's trust. Because even in the darkest times, there's always, always hope. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
