[jaymitch]

Please pray for me. I’ve been struggling for quite some time with bad thoughts. I just don’t understand why God thought it was a good idea to create me. Sometimes I feel as if it were better if I were never brought into reality

[moirreym]

Please pray for me everyone. It's summer and I'm trapped at home with my alcoholic father having to endure his yelling and hitting and oppressive atmosphere. I can't sleep well due to my anxiety and I can't even find the strength to leave my room to eat out of fear he'll begin berating me for something. Every day it gets tougher and I don't know how long I can do this without one day hurting myself. It's so hard to even pray to Jesus about it because thinking of my Heavenly Father reminds me of my earthly one and I can't help but break down and cry. I need prayer so bad.

[AbnerLopez-tc]

Pray for me I bAttle against sexual sin against my body

[chocolatefudge]

I'm so disgusted with myself today. My place is filthy. I live like a rat. I fail my exams. I don't practice sport. I have no discipline. I'm lazy. I just don't come forward in life.

Edit: to everybody. Thank you so much for your support. The love that we show each other can really make up for everything.

[morningstar]

I ask for prayer in my struggle. I’m 53 and destroyed my life through sin of lying, manipulation and emotionally hurting people I love; to the point that I have lost everything and everyone. I am alone, having to start a new job at my age, on the brink of homelessness with debt and bad credit. I feel like an utter failure in my life. I also battle with pornography and addiction to masturbation, which I shameful to my Lord Jesus Christ, and kills my heart. Please remember me in prayers. Please.

[MilanMatijevic-lpyb]

Lord Jesus Christ son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

[BeingJenniRae]

As someone who struggles against a lifelong habit (since childhood) of internally "beating myself up" with excessive, and sometimes debilitating, guilt and shame at every kind of mistake, this is among the most helpful messages I've ever heard.

[monstertrainer]

Can someone please pray for me? I'm living in a nightmare, since 2022 I'm not myself. I'm afraid of walking around on street, fear of panic attacks. I just want my normal life back, drive a car, travel with my fiancée, I traveled a lot and now I'm afraid of flying, I'm afraid of everything to be honest because of my panic attacks. God bless us and have mercy, I just want my normal life back.

[johnnylego]

Please pray for me, have chronic debilitating illness and pain that is unrelenting, I’ve been going through this for many many years. If someone can pray for me, it would mean the world. Thankyou. 💜✝️🙏

[roshinvarghese]

Im so so depressed. I know all my bad choices is due to my sins. Please pray for me

[Faithmaxxing]

In our darkest moments, He is there when no one else is. You’re never alone when you walk with God. 🖤

[yuzuguran]

I am filled with so much anxiety and terror because of financial misfortune. Please pray for me. I need to support myself and my child.

[JamesGoetzke]

I'm almost 63. I'm Catholic and was away from the church for many years. Over the last 20 years I immersed myself in the word of God on a daily basis. By the grace of God I am freed from the demon of pornography. It was a problem much of my life since I was young. I noticed some comments reflected such addiction. Well do not give up. Now that addiction I had is a distant memory that I will always be ashamed of yet I know that Jesus freed me from what was a daily temptation. Praise Jesus. Such behavior is but an uncomfortable memory. So never give up. Even Saints were tempted perhaps more than anyone. Pray daily my friends. Avoid the pitfalls of Hell at all costs. Your body will pass and decay. Your soul is the most important thing you have. Heaven or Hell awaits everyone of us.

[Witness]

Brothers and sisters.

Please pray for me. For about 15 years I have been struggling with debilitating sickness that's made my life unberable. I am in my mid 30s and would love to still have strength to serve my Savior and Lord.

Jesus is my Healer. Thank you all 🙏🏻

Please also pray that God grants me strength to go through this valley with humility and thankfulness.

Please also pray that the fire of Holy Spirit would be with me.

P.S. My name is Andrey

[JohnOliverTeves-upwy]

I realized this now, It's not you against the world and everyone, It's always you against yourself

[StraightShot]

"For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity." Proverbs 24:16. I've always heard an encouragement in these words.

[dominicwinterberger]

I am not orthodox, but I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and of great love.

[sebastianwaseskuk]

Please pray for me, I’ve damaged myself through my sins through drugs, alcohol, lust, pride and i battle mental illness and suicidal thoughts. I don’t deserve the life I was given I was blessed and fumbled all my gifts

[JanesMaw]

I am soon to be 76. I am Roman Catholic. My grandsons have turned to the Russian Orthodox faith. One is a monk in St. Sabos Monastery in Michigan. The other is in the process of receiving chrismation. Since their becoming Russian Orthodox, their grandfather and I have supported their decision and have learned much. Your teaching today was received by me in a very timely manner. If we were younger, we would have considered orthodoxy. God bless you, Father.
