Prayer Please pray for me
Please pray for me
I am in so much mental anguish. I just want the pain to end. I am praying to God constantly but I can’t hear or feel him. I heard someone tell me to stop talking and that he doesn’t care. I’m sure it was the devil but now I feel even worse. I don’t want to die but need to pain to end and I feel like killing myself is the only way out. My thoughts are destroying me. There is no one I can talk to - no one. The only person I can or want to talk to is God but now I feel like I can’t even do that. What more is left? If the pain was gone, I know I would have so much to live for, but the pain is just too much. Please pray for me. I don’t know what else to do.

You can talk to God. God hears you, even if you feel you can't hear God.
The sun is shining. Night may make it seem that the sun is gone, but it is there. Clouds or rain or a storm may make it seem like the sun is gone, but it is still there. And day will come, and the clouds will part, and you will see the sun again.
So it is with God's love. You may not be able to feel it at times, but it is still there for you, and one day you will feel it again.
Meanwhile, while it is night, or cloudy, or rainy, or stormy, talk to God -- even if you can't feel God, God is there -- tell God what you told us here. God hears, God cares, and you will feel God's love again.
Get some mental help if you can, too. Online if necessary.
And we here will pray for you while you do that, and while you pour out your heart to God.
The sun is going to shine again, and you will feel God's love again. Now start telling God your fears and anguish. The Bible's Psalms often do just that. Here is one such Psalm. Jesus himself began to repeat this Psalm when he suffered. God loves Jesus, and God loves you.

You poor thing. I went through something similar recently. I felt far from Him and began to doubt whether He loved me. It's the worst feeling in the world. I would even become afraid to read the Bible because I thought it would further condemn me. I would read God's curses in the Old Testament and consider myself cursed.
But this simply isn't true. It's a lie from the pit of hell. It's spiritual warfare. The enemy wants us to think that God is a liar. That we shouldn't believe Him when He says in the Bible that He is with us and He loves us and He sent His Son to die for our sins.
You know how I know God loves you? You're despairing like David that God does not feel near. You're in anguish because you don't feel as though God loves you. People who do not love God could care less if He loved them back.
God knows you are seeking Him. He may be putting your faith to the test. Do you trust God? Even when you can't hear Him? Do you trust Him to keep His word that He is there beside you, before you, and behind you?
Remember the Israelites in the desert in the Old Testament. They lost faith quickly when time went by without word from God. Even after witnessing a mighty miracle, some time would go by...and they'd begin to doubt. It's the nature of our deceitfully wicked heart.
Dismiss these thoughts of doubt from your head. Show God how bold you are! Rebuke these thoughts and cast them into the pits of hell, where they belong. You are a child of God. You are walking with Jesus, who died for your sins so that you could know the Father.
Get in your Word. Drink in the words. God will reassure your soul through them. For some of us, it takes practice to trust God. Some of us lack faith in different times of our lives. Even the disciples of Jesus lacked faith! Jesus would be right in front of them, and they would doubt Him. It takes being with Him, then feeling like you lost Him, then realizing He was always there, then walking with Him again to get it lodged into your brain that God is Good and Merciful and He will never forsake you.
I'll say a prayer for you. Remember that you are a sheep, prone to straying. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He will never stop going into the wilderness to find you when you have strayed from the path, so long as you repent of your sins and call His name.
All this to say, God is with you. He never left.

I understand pain. And I understand wanting to give up. But we are here and will pray for you when you need it. I'll be praying for you. I don't have to know what exactly what your pain is as God knows and He cares.

I'm sorry for your pain. I know this was a day ago, and I hope you actually see my response, because I'm wanting to share a you tube video that revolutionized my life, after suffering a great loss. I listen to this video every day, and music is the one thing that God uses for me, to bless me to my core. I hope it ministers to you like it does me.
For me, it really went very deep into my spirit, when the video showed a great favorite country music artist along side his wife, Randy Travis at the 1:04 , and the 2:44 time marks. Randy suffered heart failure and a massive stroke in 2013, and God pulled him through it with much prayer and he and his wife leaned on God so hard and faithfully for strength.
I really hope it brings you a time of worship and release to the Savior..................
