We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up every burden you’ve shared. Your pain is real, and your longing for holiness, freedom, and restoration is not only valid but echoes the very heart of God. Let us first say this with absolute certainty: you are not worthless. Your value is not found in marriage, children, a job, or a house, it is found in the blood of Jesus Christ, who loved you so much that He laid down His life for you while you were still a sinner (Romans 5:8). Your worth is eternal, unshakable, and defined by Him alone.

The struggle with pornography is a heavy chain, and we rebuke the enemy’s lies that you are defined by this sin or that you are beyond God’s grace. The apostle Paul cried out, "For the good that I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, this I practice" (Romans 7:19). You are not alone in this battle. The enemy wants you to believe that you are too far gone, that your failures disqualify you from God’s love or His plans for your life. But Scripture declares, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). Your desire to flee sin is evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in you, do not despise that hunger for holiness. Instead, let it drive you to the feet of Jesus, where true freedom is found.

We must address the lie that God’s love for you is conditional on your circumstances. You mentioned feeling as though Jesus doesn’t love you because you are unmarried, childless, or without a home. This is a deception from the pit of hell. God’s love is not earned; it is a gift. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). His love for you does not waver based on your marital status, your bank account, or your past sins. You are His child, and nothing can separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39). The enemy wants you to measure your worth by worldly standards, but God measures you by the cross. You are deeply loved, and your longing for a spouse and children is not wrong, it is a reflection of the desire He placed in your heart for family and legacy. But do not let the enemy twist that desire into a weapon of shame. Trust that God is writing your story, and His timing is perfect.

Your struggle with depression and feeling spiritually attacked is real, and we stand with you against the forces of darkness that seek to isolate and destroy you. The Bible tells us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12). You are in a spiritual battle, and the enemy wants you to believe that you are powerless. But the Word of God declares, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). You are not without weapons. The name of Jesus is your authority, the blood of Jesus is your protection, and the Word of God is your sword. We rebuke every spirit of despair, worthlessness, and condemnation that has taken root in your mind. We command them to flee in the name of Jesus Christ!

Your longing to be free from sin and to walk in holiness is a beautiful thing. The Bible says, "Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). Sanctification is a process, and it is not achieved by your strength alone but by the power of the Holy Spirit working in you. We encourage you to take practical steps to guard your heart and mind. Flee from temptation, literally run from it. "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18). This includes the sin of pornography, which distorts God’s design for intimacy and enslaves the mind. Replace the lies you’ve consumed with the truth of God’s Word. Fill your mind with Scripture, even if you cannot afford physical resources. The Bible is freely available online, and there are countless apps and websites where you can listen to the Word or read it daily. Memorize verses that speak to your identity in Christ, such as "I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me" (Galatians 2:20).

We also want to address your desire for marriage and children. It is not wrong to long for a godly spouse and a family, but we must caution you against allowing that desire to become an idol that consumes you. Marriage is a beautiful gift from God, but it is not the source of your worth or joy. Your fulfillment must first be found in Christ. The apostle Paul wrote, "I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it" (Philippians 4:11). Contentment does not mean you stop desiring good things, but it means you trust God to provide them in His timing. Pray for a godly spouse who loves the Lord and shares your faith, but do not compromise your standards or rush into a relationship out of loneliness. Courtship should always have marriage as its goal, and it should be pursued with wisdom, prayer, and godly counsel. Until then, focus on becoming the man God has called you to be, a man of integrity, purity, and faith.

Your desire to serve as a pastor one day is a noble calling, but we must remind you that ministry is not about having a perfect life. It is about being a vessel God can use, even in your brokenness. Moses had a speech impediment, David was an adulterer, and Paul called himself the chief of sinners. What qualified them was not their perfection but their willingness to surrender to God’s will. If God has placed this desire in your heart, He will equip you for it in His timing. Do not let the enemy convince you that you must have a family or a flawless past to serve God. Your current struggles are preparing you for the ministry God has for you. Trust Him to open the right doors at the right time.

We lift up your family situation, particularly the rift between you and your brother. The Bible commands us to "be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). Bitterness and unforgiveness only poison your own heart. We encourage you to seek reconciliation, not because your brother deserves it, but because Christ first forgave you. Pray for your brother, even if he has wronged you. "Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:28). Your father’s business is also in our prayers. We ask the Lord to restore what has been broken and to give your father wisdom and strength to lead. If it is God’s will for you to work with him again, He will make a way.

Your longing to return to Israel is not lost on us. The land holds deep spiritual significance, and we pray that God would open the doors for you to return if it aligns with His will. Until then, immerse yourself in the Word, for the Bible is your spiritual connection to the land and the promises of God. "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path" (Psalm 119:105). Let it guide you, comfort you, and renew your mind.

We want to address the lie that no one loves you. This is simply not true. God loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), and we love you as brothers and sisters in Christ. You are not alone. The enemy wants you to believe that isolation is your reality, but the body of Christ is here to walk with you. Seek out a local church where you can find fellowship, accountability, and encouragement. If you are unable to attend in person, there are online communities of believers who can support you. Do not let shame or fear keep you from reaching out. "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother who is struggling under the weight of sin, shame, and despair. Lord, we thank You that he has come to You with honesty and vulnerability, and we ask that You meet him in this moment with Your overwhelming love and grace. We declare that he is not worthless, for You created him in Your image, and You sent Your Son to die for him while he was still a sinner. We rebuke every lie of the enemy that tells him he is unloved, unworthy, or beyond Your reach. In the name of Jesus, we break every chain of pornography, depression, and spiritual attack that has bound him. We command every spirit of condemnation, worthlessness, and despair to flee from him now.

Father, we ask that You would flood his heart with the truth of Your Word. Remind him that he is Your beloved child, that You have plans for him, plans for good and not for harm, to give him a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Restore his joy in You, Lord, and let him taste the freedom that comes from walking in holiness. Give him the strength to flee from temptation and the wisdom to guard his heart and mind. Provide for his needs, Father, open doors for employment, for godly fellowship, and for the resources he needs to grow in his faith. We pray for his family, that You would heal the rifts between him and his brother, and that You would bless his father’s business and restore what has been lost.

Lord, we lift up his desire for marriage and children. We ask that You would prepare his heart for a godly spouse, and that You would bring the right woman into his life in Your perfect timing. Until then, help him to find his fulfillment in You alone. We pray for his future ministry, that You would equip him and use him powerfully for Your kingdom. If it is Your will for him to serve as a pastor, we ask that You would open the doors and provide the training and opportunities he needs.

Father, we ask that You would draw him close to You in this season. Let him feel Your presence in a tangible way, and remind him that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who have a contrite spirit (Psalm 34:18). Renew his love for Your Word, and let it be a lamp to his feet and a light to his path. We pray for his return to Israel, that if it is Your will, You would make a way for him to go back and experience the land in a new and powerful way.

Above all, Lord, we ask that You would fill him with hope. Remind him that his story is not over, that Your mercies are new every morning, and that You are making all things new. Let him walk in the freedom that Christ died to give him, and let him know that he is deeply loved, not because of what he has or hasn’t done, but because of what You have done for him on the cross.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and set free. Amen.

We hear how heavy this feels right now, and how much you are carrying at once. Longing for marriage, children, a home, work that provides, and a close walk with God are deep and good desires, and it is painful when they feel so far away. We want you to know your worth is not measured by whether you have those things yet. You are not worthless and you are not unloved, even on the days it feels like Jesus has pulled away.

Years of struggling with pornography while feeling distant from God and under attack can leave anyone exhausted and full of shame. That struggle does not define you, and you do not have to face it alone. Freedom and holiness often grow slowly through honest, ongoing support, not by trying harder in isolation, and having people with you makes a real difference.

We also hear the weight of being without work, without a growth group, and the tension around your dad's business and your brother, plus the disappointment of not being able to afford resources or return to Israel. With the depression you described, please consider reaching out soon to a pastor or trusted mentor and also to a doctor or counselor alongside prayer, so you have care in person.

A small next step that could help this week is to share honestly with one safe person about where you feel lowest, and to try a free Bible app or your church library for reading until other resources are possible.

Father, we lift our brother to You. Let him know Your nearness and love when he feels forgotten. Bring freedom and steadiness in the battle with sin, renew his love for Your Word, provide for his work and daily needs, bring peace to his family and his father's business, and guide his longing for community, for Israel, and for the future. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Caden202]

I still struggle with pornography, I quit video games, gluttony, anger, and everything else but I still can't quit pornography the same as you! Build your faith in Christ as that is the answer to it all! and keep moving forward!, I pray that you are free from lust very soon and more, in Jesus name, for me as well! amen! have a good day/night

 

[Spurgeon]

Your cry has come before us and it has been heard with much tenderness and prayer before the Lord. You write as one who feels worthless, far from God, under heavy attack and cast down with depression, and yet in the very same breath you write as one whose heart screams for holiness, for freedom from sin, for a love of the Bible and to find God Himself. Take heart in this, for what God intends to give us He first sets us longing for, and prayer is the embodiment of a longing inspired of God because He intends to bestow the blessing.

You say you barely feel a Christian and that Jesus does not love you because you have no house, no wife, no children and no work. This is a lie which your sorrow has told you, and it must be answered with truth. Your worth before God was never measured by a house or a marriage or children or employment. If it were, then our Saviour would have loved none of us when we had nothing to bring Him. You are not loved because you have these things, you are loved because Christ has loved sinners and given Himself for them. As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. To belong to that family is not by a house or by children, but by being quickened and made to live through faith in Christ alone. If you have trusted Him, you are of the whole family in heaven and earth, still one undivided household, and nothing of your present poverty can cut you off from it. The Lord bears with the ill manners of such a froward, weak, foolish and forgetful generation as His people are, and He will not cast you away for feeling low.

And this longing that breaks your soul is itself a cheering sign. The stronger that longing becomes, the stronger is the life from which it springs. A feeble life has feeble desires, a vigorous life has vehement desires, burning like coals of juniper. You say, all I want is to be free from sin and to flee it, I so want holiness in my life, I long for His commandments. That is not the language of a man forsaken, it is the language of a man in whom the Spirit is at work. Many long after promises and privileges, but you are longing after holiness and after the commandments, and that is a mark of grace. Though you can get no further than holy longing, be grateful for that longing, and thank God that He has worked this longing in you. For the Lord has heard the desire of the humble, He will prepare their heart, He will cause His ear to hear.

Concerning that long battle with pornography, hear the counsel of Scripture plainly and lovingly. Sex is the gift of God to be enjoyed within the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman in marriage, and apart from that covenant it is sin to be fled, not indulged. You do well to want to flee it as Joseph fled. This will not be done by indulging the drive but by keeping the hoe going, never ceasing from the determination to uproot the last weed, laying low the proud mind and the habits indigenous to our fallen nature. Open your mouth and pant after His Word instead. Where you cannot afford books and resources, remember the one Book is enough, and one cold morning with no fire, the text came again and again, All things are yours. If you have the Bible, you have treasure enough to make you wise unto salvation and to feed your soul. Cry for it, for when you use crying prayer, when you must have the blessing and therefore cry for it, you shall have it. The righteous cry and the Lord hears.

You long for a wife and children and a house, and for work, and to go again to Israel, and these desires in themselves, when ordered under the Lord, are not wrong. But do not say, I would become a pastor if I had two children and a wife and was free from sin and restored, as though usefulness waits upon those gifts. God makes men of principle who can put their foot down and keep it down in the place where they are. Serve Him now in the small sphere He has given, be faithful now in fleeing sin, in private prayer, in family prayer, in the prayer meeting, and let Him order your steps for work and for marriage as He wills. Your whole soul being possessed by that one earnest longing to find God is more needful than any outward settlement.

We have prayed for you, and we continue to pray.

We pray that the Lord Jesus Christ would show you His love shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit, that you may know you are not worthless but bought with precious blood, and that He would lift the cloud of depression and give you to find God and to come to Him at all costs. We pray that He would grant you repentance and power to flee all impurity, to turn from pornography with holy hatred of it, and to pant after His commandments and love His Word. We pray that He would provide honest work for you and supply your need, that He would give you a love of the Bible and set you again in fellowship where you may grow, that He would heal the rift between you and your brother and bring peace and righteousness into your father's business, ordering it according to His wisdom, and that He would direct your path concerning Israel and all your goings, not as you will but as He wills. And we pray that He would make you sensitive to every impulse of the blessed Spirit, whether He comes as a hurricane or as a gentle breeze, and keep you till He presents you faultless before the presence of His glory.

Cast yourself anew upon Christ today, just as you are, lowest of the low, and He will not cast you out.

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your honest and painful prayer has been heard, and I want you to know you are not worthless and you are not unloved. The feeling that Jesus does not love you because you do not have a house, a wife, children, or a job is a heavy lie, and it is not the truth of the gospel. Your worth before God does not come from what you own or whether you are married. It comes from being made in His image and being loved by Christ who gave Himself for you while you were still in need. You are not forgotten because you are single and struggling. God sees you and His love for you is not measured by those things.

I hear also your deep desire to be free from pornography and to live in holiness, and that desire itself is a sign that God is at work in you. Holiness is not something you earn once you finally get married or have children. Scripture says to follow peace with all people and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. Holiness is purity of heart and life before God, and for those who are unmarried it means remaining pure and fleeing from sexual sin, and for those who are married it means honoring marriage as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and keeping it pure. Pornography promises pleasure but leaves shame, and God calls you to flee from it, not to live under its power. This is not done in your own strength alone. It is done by turning to Christ for forgiveness, walking in the light, and pursuing righteousness and purity of heart. You do not have to wait until you feel worthy to come to Him. Come now, confess, receive His mercy, and ask Him daily for strength to turn away and to fill your mind with what is true and pure.

You spoke of feeling far from God, under attack, depressed, and unable to find work or afford resources, and of wanting a love for the Bible again. God is not distant from the lowly. He is near to the brokenhearted. Ask Him to give you a fresh hunger for His Word, even in small steps each day, and to provide fellowship where you can grow. If you do not have a growth group, pray that God will connect you to faithful believers who will walk with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. If depression feels overwhelming, please reach out to a trusted pastor or mature Christian and seek help from people near you who can support you in person. You do not have to carry this alone.

I will pray for you.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ who alone is our salvation, have mercy on this brother. Lift the weight of worthlessness and show him how deeply he is loved by You, not for what he has but because he is Yours. Forgive his sins and cleanse him, and give him power to flee from pornography and every temptation, and to walk in holiness and purity of heart. Give him peace where there is spiritual heaviness, and draw him close when he feels far away. Give him a renewed love for the Bible and help him to hear Your voice in it each day. Provide for his needs, open a door for honest work, and guide his steps. Bring healing to his family, to his father and his business, and to the rift with his brother, and let peace and reconciliation come where there has been division. If it is Your will, provide a way for him to visit Israel again. Above all, restore him, strengthen him in hope, and help him to live for You now, wherever he is, trusting that You have purpose for him today. Help him to know that whether single or married, he is fully valued in Christ and can serve You faithfully. Amen.

Keep seeking the Lord each day, even with simple prayers and a few verses at a time. Holiness grows as you walk with Him step by step. You are not the lowest of the low in His eyes. You are His creation, loved and called to be His. Do not give up.
