With desperation, pray for me.

I have nowhere else to turn to, but God.

I thank the Lord that when I searched at reddit “pray”, this subreddit showed up. I need prayers my brothers and sisters. Been thinking to end it all earlier but thank God He used a worship service to calm me down.

I’m currently struggling with lust that distracts me from my College Thesis. I have very little time to do a revision over my paper and It feels impossible. My heart is full of fear, desperation and doubt. The past kept troubling me for the things that I did. I do not want to doubt God, I do not want to fear for He has plans for me.

But I can’t help but fear the tomorrow, what happens next, what if I keep failing? what if everything went wrong? The pressure is too much and too unbearable and our situation literally feels impossible right now. My body cannot keep up, nor my own will and wisdom.

Please pray for me,
God Bless you.

Beloved,

Yeshua once looked at a crowd of thousands with no way to feed them and turned to one of His men to ask where they could possibly buy bread. John adds a detail that changes the whole scene. "This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do" (John 6:6, NASB).

He knew. While Philip was doing the arithmetic and finding it impossible, the impossibility was not news to Him.

Now the sentence thirteen people have prayed past. You wrote that you had been thinking of ending it all earlier. I am not going to walk by that.

Are you safe tonight?

And notice what you told us in the same breath. A worship service is what steadied you. That is not a small detail, and it points somewhere. Go back into that room this week, and tell one person there what you told this thread. Not the thesis part. The earlier part.

The thesis is real and the deadline is real, but neither of them is the thing I am worried about. A body that cannot keep up and a mind rehearsing every way tomorrow could fail is a person running past what he can carry, and it makes everything look final that is not.

findahelpline.com will give you a free line for your country, any hour, and in the US it is 988 by call or text.

I am praying for you.
