Why has God turned his back on me? I have prayed for help and for more faith but God is not listening. I lost my jobs and cannot find another. I have bills to pay and I need to buy food for my daughter and I have no money. I don't know what to do. I fall deeper into depression until the only light I see in the darkness is my child. If it wasn't for her, I would go ahead and end my life. Why will God not help me? Why does he ignore me? I don't know what to do to get him to listen, to get him to love me again. Why would he leave me? I don't understand. This life is just too hard. I can't seem to focus on anything else but this sickening depression, despair, anxiety and worry. I don't know how to come out of this darkness. I've prayed. Family and friends have prayed. Still, God is not listening. I feel the need to turn my back on him.
 
Let’s Pray: God I ask in Jesus’ name, walk through my home. Take away all my worries, fears, and doubts that You will come through for me. Come through for me Lord Jesus as You have promised in Your Word.

Bless me with the desires of my heart. Supply all my needs.

Deliver me from all fears, anxieties, and being or becoming overwhelmed. Let all the fruits of the Holy Spirit be in operation in my life (love, joy, peace, faith, patience, goodness, gentleness, kindness, and self-control). Let the mind that is in Christ Jesus be in me. Let Your presence, wisdom, understanding, strength, courage, protection, healing and deliverance power rest upon me.

Bless me. Increase my finances. Bless me with wisdom to become a wise steward over all that You have or will bless us with. But most importantly, let my lifestyle be shaped by the Word of God. Teach me how to love, honor, respect, praise, and worship You with my life. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer do the same for all those I love, care about, and the writer of this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I know how it is to become depressed and discouraged; I have many health problems and also financial problems. Last night because of my pain and fatigue I was looking at a book called the One-Minute Pocket Bible For Men; there is also one for women. Under the title prosperity they quoted the following scriptures: Psalm 1:1-3, Job 36:11, Psalm 35:25b, John 3:2 and Deuteronomy 6:17,18b. They used The New King James Version but any version would probably be alright. I can't even imagine how it you must feel going through this with your daughter; keep reminding yourself that the bad times don't last forever. Know that God loves you and your daughter; keep your faith, keep praying and know that others are praying for you. I will pray for you too. God bless you and your daughter.
 
Carol825, you are holding on to your worries and anxieties that is why God is not able to help you out. How can he work on your worries if you are not handing it over to him? Surrender all your worries to him. While doing so tell him to do his will in you and that you trust him completely and that you will worry no more. After surrendering to him, let go your worries. Go about your daily life with positive attitude knowing well that your worries have now reached safe hands and it will be taken utmost care of. Believe me, you will see God's grace and mercy manifest in your life with no much delay. Jesus is nothing but love. He stretches out his hands to every human being and asks us to handover our worries to him but we cling on to our worries. When we trust in Jesus, he will take care of you like a father who is proud that his child trusts him!

Lord Jesus, I intercede for ###. She is going through a very terrible phase in her life. You can see her suffering father. I take all her worries from her and hand it over into your open palms my Lord. I completely trust in your mercy and therefore humbly ask you to do your will in ###. I know that your will is the sweetest and the best solution for every problem. Please touch her now Lord and let her cup overflow with your grace and mercy. I truly believe that as I am praying here and now you have started working on ###. Thank you Papa for hearing my prayer as always. Love you Papa.
 
Is anything too hard for God? Oh, no, He is able to do abundantly above all we have ever dreamed or asked. Just trust Him to lead You even if it is not in the way you had it planned. He knows what He is doing if you will just trust HIM. Glory to His Name! Trust in the Lord. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Col.3:1-2
 
Wow! Y'all are amazing. Thank you so much for the prayers! Guess what?!?! I got the job! Hahaha! Thank You, sweet Lord! God is so great! I have been lifted out of the deepest darkness of depression back towards the light. Not only do I have this wonderful new job so I can catch up on bills and buy food for my family, and can now even possibly buy Christmas presents but I have started a book on depression and God as a catharsis to help myself and now a tool to help others. God is so great. I can be happy and successful and it's ok to be successful. One of my biggest fears is of success. I'm going to work through it and do it anyway. I want you to know that more than anything, these prayers from you guys helped me the most with my depression. The words you said about actually letting go and handing it over to God is what I needed to do. I was holding onto my fear for dear life. I was not giving it to him. I was hanging on to the worry and the anger and the uncertainty and so lacked faith. Once I made the decision to let go (which is super hard for me) and give it to him, it was an immediate release! After that, the depression started decreasing, my heart started to feel lighter (it had been so weighted down and heavy with all this stress) and POOF! I got the job! I will never forget this! Thank you all! And thank You, Jesus! And thank You, God! (hugs) I know now that God never turned his back on me. He was there every second. He was simply waiting for me to actually give it to him so he could do something with it. ;)
