Dear God: Help me become a person worthy of you…
Dear God:
I’m sitting here Lord crying out for you to hear my heart and respond to me Lord. I don’t know what is wrong with me Lord, but your the only one that can help me. I’m suffering so much inside, there is so much pain inside of me Lord and I don’t know how to let go of it Lord. I don’t know how I developed so much sadness inside of my soul but Lord please help me, please help me Lord because I can not do this on my own strength.
I know that the only one that can help save myself is you Lord, and I am so scared to show you the darkness inside of me Lord but I need your salvation. I need your mercy, love, and grace Lord to make it through this moment in my life.
Show me the way Lord, or help me find it inside of myself Lord, because I cannot keep doing this Lord. I cannot keep being that silhouette of a person. I want to feel that peace of walking alongside you. My chest feels like it is going to explode with all the emotions running inside of me Lord. Please stay by my side Lord and show me the light. Show me the path I am supposed to walk on.
Do you see my tears Lord? I feel selfish crying before you but Lord your the only one that can see my tears and love me still. Your the only one that can see my sadness and not judge me for it. Your the only one that sees the depths of my heart and still acknowledges me for it. Lord please, please I beg of you to help me help myself Lord. I don’t want to be like this anymore.
I don’t want to be miserable in my own skin. I don’t want to keep crying over these same things. I want to be strong, I want to be wise, and I want to love myself for who I am and not who people think I am. Lord, please help me get past this pain. It hurts so much inside, it hurts so much inside that I feel like I cannot breathe, I feel like I am dying inside of my body. Everyday, I little part of me is crumbling from this world,
Lord, I am so tired. I am so unbearably tired of everything and everyone. I am so tired that all I want to is close my eyes and let sleep take over me. All I want to feel is peace but I am filled with sorrow. I don’t know what is the definite reason for my sorrow but I feel so disatisfied with everything. I feel like my soul is incomplete, and that something is missing in my life. Lord, your that something, your that something that I desperately need to be my shield.
Lord, hold me in the palm of your hands and shield me from the darkness that tries to take over me. Lord, please hold onto me forever and let me walk alongside you until we meet in heaven.
My heart is heavy, with unsaid sorrows. But you know them all, see them all, and feel what I feel. As my Father in Heaven please have mercy upon my soul and guide me through this lifetime. Give me strength Lord, for I am weak. You said to call on you at our most desperate times and you will answer us. I am calling your Lord with all my heart at my point of desperation.
I want to just give up and let it all go. Let go of my dreams, my goals, my thoughts. I just want it to stop. I want it all to stop, the fear, the sadness, the pain. I want it to stop Lord and I don’t know how to stop it by myself. Lord I am weary from this all and I need to you to hold me in your arms and heal me. I am so desperate for you Lord.
I think that I am holding on to all this baggage because I don’t know how to lay my burdens before you and just let you take over and heal me.
I am asking you know Lord to take me in your arms and heal me from the inside to the outside. From the top of my head, to the bottom of my soul heal all of me Lord. Cover me in your beauty and surround me with your spirit. Lord take me in your arms and give me your warmth. The warmth I desperately need is your warmth. Lord I am calling out to you because I can no longer rely on my own strength. I need you to be my shield, my guardian, my protector. Please Lord, I need you.
I am sorry that I keep trying to do everything on my own. I know that I cannot do anything without you Lord. I do not want to do anything without you Lord, and I am sorry for taking so long to fully come to you. My heart is laid before you Lord, take it and place it in your palms Lord.
Pray for me. love me. take me as your child and hold me. I am tired Lord, the kind of tired that will not leave me without your help Lord. Fill me up, and let me overflow with your love. Thank you Lord, for loving one such as me.
I lay myself bare before you Lord, and I ask you to take all of me, the good and the bad and the in between and heal me Lord. My heart needs you inside of it, mend me Lord and make me a reflection of you.
Lord, bring people into my life that will see my need, and will help me get to where I need to go. Lord, for all those people out there who are like me. Who are hurt, in pain and who need you to stand in the gap for them. Take them Lord and help them get through it as you will help me get through it.
Let me be the person that I can call you my Father and be worthy of it. Thank you Lord for loving me and I ask you Lord to forgive me for my sins and for staying by my side. Lord show me my path, and help me walk along it. Clear my mind of foolish thoughts, and give me the courage to seek what I need and want. Bring people into my life who will love me for me, and take me as I am.

Your prayer describes the state of my heart. I feel empty and lonely. I am walking with no definite direction. I need help. I need God’s help. I pray every day for His guidance but He doesnt respond. I sometimes wonder whether there is another human being who needs God’s guidance and grace as much as I do. But now I know am not alone. Lets pray for each other. My hope is that God has seen our misery, heard our cry and is determined to help us sooner than later.
Dear Peter:
I think sometimes it is not as if He doesn’t respond to us, but maybe it is more that we do not recognize the response he lays before us. Everyday, since I wrote this I read it, and feel strength that I do not want to be that person.
I pray that God reveal himself to you whether through dreams, signs, or just from the inside of your soul. Let his presence be a shield unto you and give you the courage to fight the loneliness and seek solace from the misery that you feel.
I know your heart, because it is like mine. Some days are better, some are worse. I still wake up thinking I don’t want to deal with what the day will bring. When your at your most desperate remember my prayer, and remember that the change you seek in your life starts with you.
God be your shield!!
Dear God
I need so much No matter how hard i try i can’t get it right lord, im calling out to you lord I am tired of the devil trying to take over my body lord, Can you please hear my care of yourmercury and forgiveness
God be with you All..
Hi,
I have read what you all have writen and I can tell you that I understand. There are times when I too feel so overwhelmed by the pain, I feel so lost and broken, but today I am leaving you a reply here, hoping to encourage you and perhaps provide a few answers or some direction.
I don’t know if you have even heard of these books, if you don’t alrady have them, I would recommend that you get them, if you can, I truly believe that they will help you a lot: 1) The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren; 2) Destined to Reign by Joseph Prince 3) Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer; 4) Bait of Satan by John Bevere.
What we think will determine how we feel, Proverbs 23:7 says, ‘For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.’
Be mindful of what you are thinking about! What you think will manifest in your life, there is no way you can keep thinking negative thoughts and feel good.
Please understand one thing, the battle that we fight is not a battle against flesh and bone, it is against spiritual wickedness, you can’t see what you are fighting but God does give you armour to be able to fight, it’s called the Armour of God, you can find this in Ephesians 6:10-24 you need to put this one daily to be able to withstand the evil attack on your life, the enemy never tires of attaching you, understand that his objective is to ‘steal, kill and destroy’ (see John 10:10). What exactly does he want to ‘steal, kill and destroy’? It’s your joy! He has no right to this, you can rebuke him and he MUST obey you, God has given you authority over him! Luke 10:19
No matter what we do, we will NEVER be able to do enough to be worthy of God’s love, our works will never redeem us – Jesus is the answer, He made a way for us when he died on the cross. John 14:6 says ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’
If you want to know what God thinks of you, please read Psalm 139.
Sometimes the problem is that we are carring around so much guilt, condemnation and unforgiveness – FORGIVE YOURSELF!!! I know this is easier said than done but Psalm 103:12 says that God has removed our sin as far as the East is from the West. Also look at 1 John 9.
If you were to take a brand new, crisp $100 bill and scrunch it up in your hand and then straighten it out again, would the note have lost any value? If you were then to put some dirt on it, would it have lost any value? No, it would still be worth $100. So too, no matter what you have done – you have and will NEVER loose your value in Christ! God loves you, he is incapable of doing anything else because GOD IS LOVE!!!
This is a line from a song from one of my favourite bands (Delirious?), it says… ‘God didn’t screw up when he made you, He’s a father who loves to parade you.’
The other thing you can do is plead the Precious Blood of Jesus to cover you. It is VERY powerful and offers you protection again the attacks of the enemy.
If you have access to the internet, I would like to encourage you to go to You Tube and search for the following:
1) Love letter from God – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEfJpJ1lhQc
Final suggestions: 1) If you aren’t already in a good Bible based church, I would highly suggest you join one, 2) read the Bible – how can you fight the enemy when you don’t know the word of God, 3) if you can access resources – books, broadcasts, podcasts (if you have an iPod, iTunes has a section where you can download religious podcasts).
My recommendations would be to get resources and podcasts of the following people:
Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Kerry Shook, John Bevere, Lisa Bevere, Brian Houston, Hillsong Church, John Hagee, Joel Osteen, J.John, Chistine Caine, Ray Bevan, Mel Fletcher, TD Jakes, Louie Giglio, Marilyn Hickey… To name but a few, there are so many awesome teachers and resources, but these will point you in the right direction.
I hope you are encouraged!
God Bless,
Elle
Elle, I wanted to comment on your postings. When I was reading, it was as if I had written it. Same mind set. I had to take a second look at the passage when I saw it was signed by Elle. I am weirder out by how much I see myself in your posting! Elle2
THANK YOU for taking the time to write those verses and suggestions to me. I am grateful for them, and will use your suggestions. I know that the Lord is my shield and my protector, I think I just need to always remember that and make myself as close to him as possible.
Dear God,
Please help me. I don’t know how to handle this anymore. I dont know what to do. Help! I dont want to do something stupid, but all these problems are driving me that direction. Today is my birthday and it doesn’t feel like it. Lord, please hear my prayers. Please let everything get better for me, soon. I dont know how much longer I can hold on. I LOVE YOU. AMEN.
Rosie, hunny, I don’t know what you are going through, but if you haven’t already read the response I left above please have a look at it. I would also recommend that you have a look at this link, it may help answer some of your questions. http://www.bible-knowledge.com/trials-tribulations.html
As for the ‘doing something stupid’ part, just keep on reaching out for help and if you can’t reach out to people, reach out to God. Heaven might be silent in answering your prayer but God is not deaf, he has heard your cries. Just keep on reaching out to Him, YOU WILL get through this! In the Bible it says that ‘it came to pass’, nowhere does it say that ‘it came to stay…’, so too, what you are going through will come to pass.
Love & blessings,
Elle
God is beautiful.
and so are you.
I understand how you feel, I have prayed for 3 years, I have noone in my life, and sadly god hasn’t helped, I’m at the point of starting to lose my mind, he helps so many others find love/spouses etc…and I’m forgotten I have reached my breaking point, I tried so hard to hold on and belive but everyone has their breaking point, I will do what I have to to find love on my own if that dosn’t please god well so be it, he knows I have needs and he ignors my prayers to have them met.
I am trying hard to control my sobs so that I will not wake anyone…This prayer should be coming from the depths of my soul….You said every word that I am feeling
It is a good day, if I don’t cry. I pray to God, with respect and love and so very much want to hear from Him. Just once let me know He is there. Everyday I say a prayer, read a verse and just talk to God. I want God to talk “with” me. Fill my heart with love again. Lynn
whatever you prayed, the same I did and do. I desperately need HIS help as he is the only one who can understand me.I don’t know what I should do,only HE can help me in letting me out of my sorrows. I need someone who can understand me as I am unable to understand myself.And that someone is “GOD” my everything.I felt very much relieved when i read your prayer and I want to give you “THANKS” for praying for persons like me. Please do reply me.I need GOD’s help badly. Aarambhika
Hello Aorambika. God is there to give you the tools to get past those sorrows. But you have to be the one to pick them up and use them.
It is hard to pick up those tools, but you have to open your eyes and your mind to the goodness in your life. There must be at least one thing in your life that gives you some kind of happiness and peace. Use that to motivate you to find more happy moments.
Surround yourself with people who will love you and nurture you to become an even more wonderful person.
Don’t ever give up. Sometimes we fall so that we know how to rise and what it is like to have fallen. You must believe in yourself and that God is and always will be with you.
HI
Thanks for the reply.I need it.I want to share a problem of mine with you so that can able to cope up with. I am a student and for me,the most important thing is studying.I had interest in studies till 12th standard.But now what has happened to me I don’t know. Now-a-days it is very important for me. But i have lost all my interest in it. May be GOD is angry with me. I don’t know. It is said “whatever happens it is for our good” as it is the GOD’s decision for us.I fully agree this. But now I am losing my hope .I know HE is my dad and HE will always do good to me.Please tell me what to do. Aarambhika
I am a bit confused about what the problem is but let me say this I also lost interest in school this year…and I learned a hard lesson about motivation and stress. You have to find that balance with life and with school and your own dreams and goals.
I want you to think about what you TRULY want in this life, school-wise, life-wise, inner-wise. Write it all down, and then read it out loud to yourself. Pray with your whole heart for what you want and find that inner determination to go after what you want.
I went through this year sinking so deep into the darkness..but you know what that darkness has no answers it only blinds you from the light.
I AM DEEPLY DEPRESSED AND HAVE AN ILLNESS i CANNOT NAME. A P PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION REVEALED COGNITIVE, LEARNING AND SEVERE MEMMORY DISFUNCTION. THE DOCTOR SAYS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE I SUSTAINED A HEAD TRAUMA DURING MY LIFE. MY INTELLIGANCE LEVELS ARE ABOVE AVERAGE AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE 4 COLLEGE DEGREES AND TWO CAREERS, BUT MY MIND DOES NOT FUNCTION WELL. I HAVE LOST THE LAST 3 JOBS, NOT BECAUSE OF NEGATIVE CHARACTER TRAITS OR WORK QUALITY, BUT BECAUSE I GET CONFUSED LOST, I AM SLOW AND LOST AT TIMES. I AM RESPONIBLE AND HONEST, BUT MY MIND IS IN TURMOIL. I AM NOT WELL. MY BODY IS INCREDIBLY STRONG AND FIT. I AM ALSO, AS PER THE PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION AND THE FEELINGS INSIDE ME SEVERELY DEPRESSED. I HAVE A LEVEL OF DEPRESSION THAT CAUSES MOST PEOPLE TO GO INTO THE HOSPITAL. I CAN’T I HAVE SEEN THE DARKNESS THAT RESIDES IN THE HALLWAYS OF THOSE INSTITUTIONS, I DO NOT TRUST THE MEAN SPIRITED AND IN IS NO FANTASY OR DELUSION THAT THESE PEOPLE EXIST. I WOULD RATHER DIE. ONLY MY PRAYERS REMAIN. I AQM UNEMPLOYED AND BEING DIVORCED MY MY WIFE. WE ARE 4 MONTHS BEHIND IN RENT AND IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. I HAVE MANY BILLS INCLUDING THOSE FROM THE IRS AND DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY. I AM LOST AND FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE. MY PRAYERS TO GOD ARE ALL THAT REMAIN. I AM ASKING GOD TO KEEP ME ALIVE AND HELP ME GET WELL. I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE. THIS MAY APPEAR SELFISH AND STEEPED IN SELF PITY, BUT I KNOW THAT I WOULD RATHER BE HAPPY/ I AM AN ADENTUROUS PERSON. I LOVE THE EARTH, ANIMALS PEOPLE, WOMEN AND ADVENTURE, BUT I CANNOT SUSTAIN MYSELF AGAINST THE DEMONS OF PAIN AND DEPRESSION. I MUST TAKE SOME KIND OFM SIGNIFICANT ACTION, THOUGH I’M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS. GOD, YOU ALONE CAN GUIDE ME AND HEAL ME. MAKE ME AWARE OF THE NEXT STEP I MUST TAKE AND HELP ME TO NOT FEEL ALONE. I KNOW THAT I AM A KIND AND COMPASSIONATE PERSON TO OTHERS, BUT NOT MYSELF. I NEED YOU TO SHOW ME HOW TO LOVE MYSELF GOD. PLEASE SHOW ME AND IN DOING SO SAVE ME BY TEACHING ME HOW TO SAVE MYSELF. I WILL DO IT GOD, BUT PLEASE GUIDE ME …PLEASE…
From your posting, it sounds like a safe guess that you have already accepted Christ as your Lord. And that you sre asking in with all sincerity and humilty to come into your wife and allow the holy spirit to guide you.
If you were to allow yourself a moment to just stop… and to quietly listen… and quietly consider what it is it that the Lord has in mind for you, I can guarantee you that it is something that involves your past experiences in life… that it involves your naturally born and innate talents, gifts and skills…. and most likely… it is going to involve you redirecting your focus away from yourself and your own problems and struggles (not to say that they are trivial or will disappear overnight)…. and to find yourself focused on something to do with helping someone(s)….
A good starting point might be to visit a site like Compassion International (or Compassion Canada). http://www.compassion.ca or http://www.compassion.com
Ask yourself this…. as bad as your own situation may be… is it still possible that there are others who are worse off than you in other ways…. and are you capable of making some sort impactful, life changing difference in the life of someone other than yourself who may need the help of someone exactly like you… today?
The Lord led me to type a question into google. I was just typing the question into space and really expected nothing back.I came across your threads. I was about to leave it because I didn’t want to obey him or get involved with people (you know people can be so cruel). I was immediately sent back and will leave you this message. The lord does hear your prayers. He loves you so much it is beyond our understanding. He will answer all your questions if you just ask and wait by clearing your mind. Try darkening your room at night just before going to sleep or early in the morning just before you get up. Lie still for he is motion at rest. He will come to you through the holy spirit in a voice that is yours but is not yours. For the way that God communicates with man is in an oxymoronic manner. He is the least and the most the first and the last the beginning and the end motion at rest and on and on. The oxymoron is His fingerprint because it just is. So if you do this you will become better and better at it. Soon you will know all that there is to know. He will give you all His mysteries as he promised he would. Whatever question you have you will be told. You will even get information about what will be as you become closer and closer and listen without interupting. Carry a pen and notebook with you for answers will come to you during showers and in the car. The answers to what you ask are often substantiated during that day from the mouths of people who may not even realize what they said or a book that opens to the answer –again. It is great and makes your special situation that has led you to Him very enjoyable and interesting. He as Jesus mentioned about Himself wants to tell you everything but few humans are thirsty. Daniel was told because he asked. I feel so sorrowful for many of your positions. I was there but made the leap. Go to my website Seaofglass1.com and see what the God that loves you is doing. I am ready to submit three more scrolls of information and have nearly 100,000 pictures. He is sending information in the light and in the dreams and visions (read Joel).Especially now for even non believers can see all that is happening and how so much was described in Revelations. Connect to Him he wants to connect to you. I know He wanted me to tell you this. I am not one to normally share my findings because I am not a good witness to people and I wish selfishlessly to keep my findings to myself and keep His communications to me alone if it was possible. But this is impossible and it is so human that I am embaressed to admit it. I must do what they say or I really get harrassed.Believe me you have to do what He (the three) wish. This is the price for having the connection. I believe He wants me to share with you this knowledge. Oh yes when you become one with the three you will be fulfilled beyond your wildest of dreams and know so much. However you must be strong for the world is blind and many wish to remain blind and they will do all they can not to see. Like Ostriches I suppose. So learn the word and tell the three everyday how you love them and you will be protected from the evil one who controls the earth at this time. I become so tired when I tell others of my findings and my connection with God. It is like giving birth painful tiring but rewarding.I hope you listen and sooth your souls. Thomas
What shall I say?..my situation is rather similar. I am findng this prayer several months after you published it. God led me to it cause I have numerous questions too. I have always tried to live my life by my own strength…but without much success!. I now realise that I have to keep on asking God for strength so I can live a fulfilling life! my prayer is that peace has found you since you publshed this!. I Pray to achieve peace and revelation in my life too. So Help me God and others who are in similar Situations.AMEN

I’m glad you feel better, and I pray that you keep feeling better and better!
I AM MARRIED TO THE MOST VERBALLY ABUSIVE MAN WHOM I HAVE ALLOWED TO DESTROY WHO I ONCE WAS. I AM LOST AND HAVEN’T A CLUE HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAVE LOST MY WONDERFUL JOB AND MY HEALTH BECAUSE I GAVE ALL THAT WAS INSIDE ME TO TRY AND MAKE OUR MARRIAGE WORK. I AM DEAD INSIDE…
Dear Reader,
I go through a terrible time now,Saturday when everything seem so dark again i askedGod where are you me and my family so desperatly need you.Today Monday i got a SMS they want to reposess my house i am 3 months in areas, i have a small company, All i am asking, No hand outs Please O MIGHTY GOD OUR FATHER WHICH ARE IN HEAVEN JUST OPEN THE DOORS FOR US I WILL WORK 24 HOURS A DAY. Who ever sees this please pray for us , i have faith i work hard,and i know maybe He is now testing me to the limit.
So i ask God please come to our rescue as You are the only one that can help.
May all that pray for us be blessed.
Amen
Dear Bert, I have read your posting tonight and hope time has rescued you & your family. Have a great day.
Reading some of the above entries have broken my heart. I have also dealt with depression, and felt like I couldn’t go on. I have found that the best way to begin working myself out of the pits is to praise God…not waiting until things are better…but praising Him in the middle of the darkness. He is there and waiting to respond to you. Don’t ever give up; God loves you and has a plan for your life. Tell Him all about everything that you are feeling, and give it all over to Him…expecting that He will work it out. And don’t forget to keep praising Him for everything.
I AM ANGRY AT GOD I FEEL AS THOUGH HE HAS LEFT ME. I CAN’T EVEN CRY ANYMORE THE PRAYER ABOVE DESCRIBE WHAT I FEEL BUT I READ IT WITH A LITTLE GLIMMER LESS THEN A FLICKER OF HOPE.
I JUST WANT TO DIE THATS ALL
Please don’t give up …..
I didn’t, I’m still walking and moving forward.
I feel for you my friend..I thought I was alone.. My questions of “Why’s?” never stop. Let’s pray for each other. Your blog help me…Thank you..
I will pray for you…I wrote this blog in my darkest hour and have grown a lot since then towards the light.
i want you to know that I cried reading the prayer. Please hang on…Try to focus on the little things that we see..one day at a time.. for every breath.. let’s think that there is a purpose..let’s be patient and wait….
I got teary eyed reading this..I’ve hit a rough patch myself.. and reading the post described my feelings.. I’m sorry about your pain, but in this will I be confident, the Lord is there and he is mighty to save. I feel that it is so hard to believe, when given my moments.. but I can’t lose hope.. He will save and protect me.
Hi, my name is Chris. I am 23 years old and I live near Dallas Texas.
Like someone here said I just googled a question not knowing what I will find (if anything). When I came upon your message I almost left without reading on, but I didn’t. I feel as if god led me to it so that some of my questions will be answered because I to feel much like you have written.
“how can I redeem myself and join jesus”
That is what I googled.
My questions are many and I’m not sure what I am supposed to do. I have always been a fool and ignorant towards god. It seems like I only prey for forgiveness when I am afraid. I feel ashamed for acting this way. I mocked believers because it was what everyone else seems to do. I fallowed the trend so many people fallow now and that is to pretend that there is no god… even though deep inside I could feel he was there watching me sin and for that I am ashamed of myself.
When I was scared for my health or the state of the world only then I would come to god and prey to him. Like I used him when it was convenient for me. Also I noticed I would do this when I wasn’t getting what I wanted. If a girl I loved left me I cursed god for making me this way. I was stupid. So ignorant.
Now I see what I’ve been doing and I don’t ever want to do that again! I want to serve god because I want to deserve to be with him. I am always afraid of death and scared of things in the world. Why? I know now it’s because I wasn’t being level with god. I knew he was there and I wasn’t doing anything for him. I felt if I died I would surly go to hell. That is why I was afraid of death.
Now I am trying to listen for god and learn how I can work for him. How I can redeem myself to be worthy of the lord. I still feel the fear I have always had sometimes, but I know that is the devil trying to make me fear. Fear huh? It’s no fun to live in fear I’m sure you all know. But it was the same fear that made me realize that I need god in my life because I hated to be afraid and it saddened me to be scared all of the time of death.
When people would talk about Revelations and the 2nd coming of our lord I would be afraid. It sounded like a horror movie to me! I thought how can these people talk like it’s a good thing for so many people to suffer? How can this be good at all? I don’t want to feel like that!!! I want to be happy if I learn Jesus is coming! I don’t want to fear it I want to be brave and feel as if I am finally going home finally after all of this time!
I have not read the Bible and I have not gone to church for many years, I’m going to start because I feel there are many answers I am seeking in there and I know I have much to learn! I don’t want to fall to my old ways again, I can feel inside me that Jesus is near and will be here soon and I want to serve with him in heaven!
Prey for me to stay with it and to keep Jesus in my heart. Prey for me to be brave and stand up for God and to not be afraid of what is coming, but to look forward to it with happiness and joy! I wish so much to feel like I deserve to stand with god and to earn my place in paradise! Prey that god forgives me of the sins for which I am ashamed. Prey for me that I will always trust in god and I know that one day soon I will meet you all in heaven. Thank you.
-Chris Grisham
Chris we all fall…but we don’t all rise again. You are taking that first step to make yourself a better person for this earth and for the God who loves us. I wrote this entry in a dark period of my life, but I have moved past it, with my own willpower and God’s support. It won’t be easy, but no good change comes in a day. It takes effort, time, and patience with oneself. God is always listening to us and his time is the right time!
Agreed. Thanks.
This is good, I have never felt a real need to prey for others, but I am with each of your comments as I read them. Thank you for helping me by posting this.
dear god i am in awe of you. i know you speak to us in dreams and i am quite a dreamer but i cant seem to understandwhat you are telling me some times and i feel lost because i dont know what you want. i am trying the best i know how to follow you and search you but it seems as though i cant understand what you are saying to me.
Dear lord,
Am facing a big problem in my academic life,,pls help me overcome it asap. Pls pray 4 me frnds…
God is above all circumstance.I will pray for those in need. May he bless and keep you always.
i am the worse sinner in the world. G-d has given me so much and…i throw it all back at Him. He allowed me to travel to Israel last year and, i had so much strength when i got home. but, i have now lost everything i gained and there is nothing inside me anymore. i am confused… how could i possibly be saved if i do these things continuously? i feel like Jesus and the Holy Spirit have left me because of the things i continue to do. i try to stop sinning, but the dark side is so strong where i live. there seems like no way out for me. i beg and pray for the Holy Spirit to return to me, but…i fear i am lost and now G-d refuses to help me. i think i have destroyed the relationship i once had with Jesus and i can no longer get it back. i am alone in a place where none of my family live…stuck in a job that is certainly not what a Christian would do if they, me, really loved Jesus Christ, and i do…i really honestly do. i beg him to use me in this world, but…i am falling deeper and deeper in sin again and there seems no way out for me. i feel doomed. and it just doesn’t seem fair. why does G-d not want me? i want Him to help me out of this pit. i am willing to give my life to Him, but i am alone in this darkness and there seems to be no way out. i am so afraid He will condemn me and there is nothing that i can do about it. i feel like i want to die so i won’t hurt Him anymore…more than i already have. if He is not going to help me, there is no point in continuing in this miserable life i have created. how can i ask…once again…like i do most every night…to return to me and help me and mean it this time? how can i have what other Christian’s have and control my sins? what have i done to deserve this misery? i did not ask to be borne. i feel neglected and rejected by G-d, and i know this is an aweful thing to say, but why won’t He help someone who truly wants His help? why does He not listen to my prayers and see my tears? i have falled so far away from Him, it is now hard to cry anymore. i have never felt so alone in my life, and there seems to be no end in sight…
God, please heal us all. We have a common problem, issues we try to analyze and cant even begin to grasp. We want to know what’s wrong, we want to heal, and we are afraid to depend on you and criticize ourselves because we know we shoudl obey your Word, but cant seem to apply it for ourselves. At least that is one of my issues.
we want to own your Word in our hearts, God. Please help speedily. Please heal us. You said where two or more are gathered, there you are. We need to experience you, God. We need to be happy again. We need to have our hearts and minds conformed to Christ. Please give us all of these good things and everything you have for us. Please fill and sustain us with your Holy Spirit. Please infuse your love in our hearts, and give us confidence that we have it. Make us to focus on you, God, and your glory…not on the battle, not on rebuking. Just on you and your love. Secure our identity in Christ, Lord. We are hurting so badly that your Word is not seeping in as it should. we are sorry for every wrong choice we have made, and do NOT want to get in your way. Give us willing spirits and obedience. Empower us to claim our promised land in this world, and look forward with joy to the next. Please heal us, Lord. In Jesus’s Name, Amen. Thank you, Lord. We believe, please root out our unbelief and make us solid in Christ.
Hi all,
I have read all your posts and I just cried because I didn’t think there was anyone who understands just how I feel inside. I have wonderful parents and a supportive brother but and I am grateful for them because otherwise I would have lost my mind.
I was engaged to a man that I loved so much. We had problems and we worked them out over the years that we dated. After we got engaged I fell pregnant and he disappeared. Without a word. My son is 7 months old today. He gets sick a lot and I try to be there for him in all ways but its just difficult. What I don’t understand is that I prayed for this relationship from the very start. I asked God to protect me from this man if he would be my downfall. And when we sorted out our issues I thought God was answering my prayers.
In my culture its looked down upon to have a child before marriage and now I have no friends or anyone with whom to share my pain.
I know I made some poor choices in my life and I think that maybe God is punishing me for them. I look at my life and I just feel so sad and my heart fills heavy. I have prayed for God to restore my relationship if it is His will and if not, to give me direction but I cant feel or hear Him. I have lost the will to pray and I just exist. I used to wake up every day praying that this would be the day God talked to me, but I gave up hope when I realized that everyday would be the same and would bring the same disappointment.
I live for my son now. I give him all of me. I never want him to lack anything because his father deserted him. But I am so empty so sad inside. Please pray for me. I am at breaking point and I am questioning if God is really there.
God in not punishing you, and you don’t need friends or a man that would desert you in your darkness hour. Your child is a gift to you, and believe me when I say I understand how you are feeling. In my culture it is not acceptable either, but that doesn’t mean you or your child is not loved. You have every right to be hurt, but remember your child needs you to be there for him and they will give you their love in return.
I will pray for you, and God is there with you, you just might not see him the way you expect. Look at your son and you will find your answers. You have to be the best you can be not only for yourself but for your son. You have to wake up this morning and take it step by step, day by day, and you will see changes. I pray for God to heal your heart and give you the strength to move past your past towards a brighter future. We all sin, make mistakes, and the like but that doesn’t make you a bad person or unworthy. Keep fighting and holding on.
the pain is terrible on the outside and inside . it is a burden I have to carry I deserve it but I am so so so tired….i don’t want to try to be strong anymore when im dying on the inside please god help me
Pls I need Gods favour,in so many.I am always suspecting my boyfriend all the time,nd I work wit my instinct too,I need a job seriously,I need fianical help from.cos he said we shuld ask,it will be given,knck,it shall open,seek,and u shall find. I hav faith in god a lot,is just dat am thinking too much.thnk u.
Hi, I just typed a question in google, asking God that I need to connect to him and saw your page. It took me a minute for the whole thing to sink in. I want you to know that God loves you a lot. Sometimes you think there are a whole lot of problems in your life but believe me, He is looking after you and these problems help you later on. The moment you feel that you cannot handle it any longer, just let go and surrender yourself in your prayers to GOD. Cheer up, there are always people who care and love you. Reach out to them and it will make you feel better. Remember GOD gives help in the form of people, books or any medium that touches our heart. You will know it. Just keep yourself open to all that touches your life. Your life is precious and YOU are wonderful. Lots of love
And I forgot to mention, we all go through these trials and tribulations at some point in our lives. All of us do, believe me. We need to choose the way we wish to respond to the situations. Think casually and choose to overcome the problems. Tell yourself that you are getting out of the feeling of sadness. Tell yourself that you will choose to do the things that makes you feel better, lighter and happier. Do that everyday. It is like an exercise, but it works. Trust me.
thank you, i really needed words like yours today. I will choose happiness over sadness everyday:)!
i stumbled on your post today. reading you felt like i was reading myself, and i am truly touched by your words. this was written some time ago, so i deeply pray that you have found your solace under His wing. this night is very hard on me, in particular. i’ve been looking up different key words in google in regards to god’s help. what’s moving is to know that my feelings toward god are justified this my sorrow and need. i sometimes wonder if i would feel more at peace if i did not know god, in the sense that my heart would not feel this type of longing for something that seems so transparant at times. anyhow, thanks for sharing your heart with us, it was very moving for me…
-amy
the person I am now has changed since i wrote that entry. I have found my peace, but at the same time I am still searching for more. Faith is transparent, so it is hard to grasp. If you have it in you, then you don’t need any other confirmation. Just believe, let go, and trust that God always has your back…because he always does.
GOD please help me in any thing am doing show me the right way in life, i want success in any thing am doing, Ho my GOD i need your forgiveness forgive me in any thing am doing i know am a sinner so GOD please forgive me, let me live with happiness in all my life with my family GOD please wash away all the sorrow in my life and all the sorrow in all my families life (amen) thank you GOD

He is looking out for all of us, so hold onto him and let him lead you.
I read this and I felt as if I wrote it. I am 23 years old and I don’t remember if I was ever genuinely happy. I feel as if I’m all alone in this world and that bad things only happen to me. Dear God, all I want is to be happy please give me a chance.

dear god, please help to keep my faith during these very difficult times. I know you are there and I know you have a plan sometimes I have such a hard time understanding why you make it so hard for me. Please help Jeff find a job so we can be financially whole. I don’t mind hard work but that doesn’t seem to be enough right now.
Dear God, please here the prayer of Chubby and help her Jeff find a job in this crazy economy. Make a way where no way seems able. I pray that you give Chubby comfort and warmth and help hm/her to know that you are ALWAYS there, not to make things hard but to make them easier. Amen Chubby read Jeremiah 29:11.
after reading the very 1st letter…i saw myself….i feel the same way….lost on my road to peace & happiness. Ashamed of some of the things I’ve done and suffer guilt on daily basis. Life has beat me down 4 so long(partly my fault, maybe all) but i lost my faith along the way yrs. ago, became a skeptic to all organized religions and just plain abandoned my faith.Now there is such a void in my life 4 so long that i can only imagine it’s the lack of my lord in my ♥ and as much as i want it back, i just cant figure out how to do it. I find mysel in serious trouble currently and feel tacky about coming to him now 4 help…feel selfish.But i need my faith back in a desperate way…thank you 4 sharing all these letters….a little comforting to know i’m not alone.
You are not alone, and it is never too late to let him in. He will take you in no matter what you’ve done, where you’ve been, or the past you have. Repent and let him in.
Hi.. I am also feeling the same thing that has written there. I am Hindu. I am very alone GOD. Please help me. Show me the way where I should go.
After spending a few minutes crying from the depths of my soul, I tried to reach out to God to take some of the pain. I grabbed my phone and wrote “dear God save me.”. Your passage came up and I began to read what so many others have already said, my own feelings of pain and sorrow. While I certainly find no joy in others feeling similar, I have felt a certain sense of peace within me knowing I have not been alone in my darkest hour, although I suppose at the time that was not your motivation in publishing your cry for help. I write now to simply thank u for taking the time to memorialize your feeling and sending them out into the cosmos so that people like me could stumble across them three years later & discover the sense of hope that has been created in the 63 comments that followed.
Elle I hope that only did it make you feel less alone, but that we gave you hope that things will get better. They will. Three years later life is so much better. The sorrow and pain I felt back then has faded into nothingness and the same will happen to you. Just breathe and hold on. Life will always bring moments of darkness but the light inside of you is stronger that it could ever hope to be. Stay strong, and give time a chance to heal your wounds.
Dear Lord, God Almighty, Please help me and Kelvin to get out of our financial problem. We surrender our Financial problem into your hands Lord for you to take care of it for us. We ask this all thru Jesus name, amen!
dear God, please help everyone I’ve encountered in my life. i pray that all of us whom are in school pass the big test coming up that determines whether or not we pass to the next grade. God please save us all, in God’s name I pray, amen.
I have lived a very sinful life yet have always been a believer of Jesus Christ ! Only in my last few years have I realized just how much I have sought him and prayed to him but only when the chips were down. How wonderful to know he is always there in any situation ! Praise the Lord for always being there !
Our Lord and our God had always cared for us, regardless of our color or our status in soceity. Some rich ones believes they made it themselves, some poor ones believes God is punishing them, some sad ones thinks God is foresaking them, but one thing is sure, God is with us all the time. It is us, we ourselves that thinks otherwise. O most Almighty, most poweful and most loving God thank you Lord, praise you Lord, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Thank you for listening to our prayers.
