Please pray for me that I will be delivered to God soon because I am trying so hard and changing so much for Him,I am literally changing my whole lifestyle for Him and I rise for a day just so that I can be shot down by my own thoughts for the next week.I can't control my thoughts,my feelings,or the pain I suffer.It may seem exaggerative but I feel so weak.I just can't stay at peace wherever I go.I can only find a small measure of rest alone in solitude.At the same time I am so low because I have no one in my life that can understand what I am going through or that I can lean on.Yes.God is with me but I can't hear him talk back to me or feel his embrace.God knows my true intentions and I am really trying to be close to Him so I don't understand why He seems so far away.Please pray that I will be delivered from the curse I have.Thank you

Hi Hopeful. We will keep you

Hi Hopeful. We will keep you in prayer on the Viral Prayer Network. Consider joining us in the mornings. We will be praying there for you either way!

A scripture verse that spoke often and spoke loudly to me as I was a young man being tossed between the desire to please God and my sin, is found in Psalm 199.

Psa 119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
Psa 119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
Psa 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psa 119:12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
Psa 119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
Psa 119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
Psa 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
Psa 119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

Don't worry about the thoughts you can't control. Work on the ones you CAN control. The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. "Though father and mother shall forsake me, yet the Lord shall take me up!"

You are a baby in the Lord (which is where we ALL start). Do not be discouraged my friend. You and I and the devil know that you should be running the race, not crawling it.... HOWEVER.... we learn to crawl as the first step to learning to RUN. Do not be discouraged by what you cannot do yet, be encouraged that as you continue to seek Him in His Word, that you will indeed be built up and prevail. "Though the righteous fall seven times, the Lord shall lift him up!" You shall fall less and less as the days and weeks go by. God is FOR you Hopeful, not against you. I have had days, months and years like you are describing, yet here I am today because I did not give up in the midst of my imperfect life. I am not perfect, but I am certainly more anchored in the Lord than ever, with much room to grow!

Bless you brother!
Tim
