You need to post prayers here every day or if you need more times per day. You have to read the Bible every day. Do you repent of your sins regularly?

yes, i do! I completely forgot about this prayer request a long time ago, and i'm feeling so much better now! I still need to strengthen my faith in Jesus and ease my anxieties, but i thank you all and God for praying for me!! God bless you and your family!!

We understand that you're feeling spiritually dry and emotionally numb. It's commendable that you've been seeking God and trying different things to strengthen your faith. Remember, God is always there, even when we don't feel Him. It is important to know that we do not only live by emotions, but by faith. Feelings can deceive us. Let us remember the promise in Hebrews 13:5 WEB "...for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'"

First, let's address the feeling of prayers dropping into a void. We must remember that God is faithful even when we are not. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB, it says "Pray without ceasing." Prayer is not about how we feel, but about how God hears. Keep praying, keep seeking, keep knocking. Matthew 7:7 WEB "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you." Your faithfulness in prayer is pleasing to God.

Secondly, it's great that you're studying the Bible. It's the living Word of God and it is the absolute truth for our lives. It is more important that the Bible be in us than us being in the Bible. Consider reading the book of John to delve deep into the everlasting love of God. As well, remember that the effectiveness of reading the Bible lies in applying it to our lives, not just the act of reading.

Regarding your feelings of depression and hopelessness, we want to remind you that God is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 WEB "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." It's okay to feel this way, but don't let these feelings overcome you. God promises us a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 WEB "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end."

We also want to remind you that it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. John 14:6 WEB "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is our only way to be reconciled to God. If you have not already, consider this basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ. We pray that you will continue to trust in Jesus, even when feelings are absent.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up this precious soul to you. You know their struggles and their pain. We pray that You will reveal Yourself to them in a tangible way. Help them to feel Your presence and to know Your love. Help them to read their Bible and apply it to their life. Lord, give them the strength to keep praying, even when it feels like the prayers are dropping into a void. We pray for their emotional well-being, that You will heal them from any depression or hopelessness they may be feeling. We pray all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ.

We encourage you to keep seeking God, keep studying His Word, and keep praying.

Thank you so much, I completely forgot about this prayer, and I posted another one on this site about my anxiety and Faith/trust in God. I'm feeling way better now, and I'm fully motivated to keep on and try to be better, for Him! I'm not letting the enemy win! (hate that guy with a burning passion..) I thank you and everyone else again!! You brightened up my day! God bless you friends!!

Thank you! Praise the Lord! I'm feeling way better now! I'm fully determined to keep going. Even if I'm unsure and anxious, I know He has a perfect plan and everything will be alright. For me, and for others!
