Feel like my weakness is keeping me away from Gods favor

johanzo88 · Sep 2, 2015

Hi everyone,

I hope that I can get some assistance via the power of prayer in regards to my life.

I've felt like I've hit a brick wall in my life right now and I seem to be messing up every time I get back up on my feet. Recently I have been heart broken and felt like the whole world came crashing down. This heartbreak made me think of all the failures in my life and made me feel so so down. Its been a few months since the heart break but I still feel so sad, I've lost my smile and the will to move on. I've thought about ending my life but everytime i think about it, I just think about my family and I forget about it.

I'm so grateful to God for all the things hes done for me and I love him oh so much. But I am so weak right now, I have prayed and prayed and prayed over my weaknesses but I just cant shake this bad feeling in my heart. There are times where I feel like I'm strong and I go on and have great conversations with God, my prayers feel powerful but then I turn around and fall short and I feel so so guilty and also feel like that I dont deserve to ask God for forgiveness.
Now I know God is forgiving and he loves me so much but I can't seem to shake my guilt, my pain and my sadness. Everyday I wake up sad and it hurts. This pain reminds me of everything wrong in my life and how I am not where i want to be.

I'm 27 years old and I havent really achieved what I've wanted to achieve and I'm not even close. I have a good job, a loving family, amazing friends and yeah I am thankful for that, and i know a lot of people would trade places with me but I feel like I'm meant for something more. I dont feel like i'm worth anything to the world and I'm not good enough to the people I want to be with.

I've prayed to God to help me change my mindset and to help me with my weaknesses and I believe he is, but I keep thinking about how my life isnt what I thought itll be after years of prayer and etc. I'm not blaming God at all but I blame myself because I keep messing up and it overwhelms my mind and cant seem to shake it. I am so weak.

So today, I'm here to ask my christian brothers and sisters for your help. I believe that God is trying to help me but I can't seem to help myself. Can I ask everyone for there prayers over my life, can I ask that you pray to help me get through whatever I'm going through, whatever this thing is. I am weak on my own but I know with my christian brothers and sisters with God can make me stronger. So I ask for your prayers that I am able to achieve things that only God can help me achieve, my goals and my dreams that only God can fulfill. Prayers that I am restored with a peace of mind and heart that I get over this heartbreak and pain and to change my mindset towards my own life.

Thank you all for reading, I love you all. God bless.

I find the psalms help me, there is always a place for help to be found in the living word of God,
Psalm 103 say it, sing it, and live it...Bless the Lord O my soul!

Been there, done that. The "mind of man" often gets in the way of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Your faith shines through in your post; that means the Holy Spirit is obviously talking to you. You are being prayed for!

Praying for you! You are tying in your past mistakes and failures into your self esteem. Your achievements and your failures do not make you who you are. God loves you and your family and friends love you for your being. The Lord loves it when you seek him, seek the kingdom of God first and there you will find his eternal peace and happiness. You can walk securely in life because you know you are loved and you did not have to accomplish anything to get this great love, that's the power of his grace. I would say allow yourself to be a vessel for God, ask God how he can use you to minister to others and be a blessing to others. It's easy to be a blessing, Jesus said those that give a cup of water in his name will receive a prophet's reward. When you give your testimony about your life and explain that despite all of the ups and downs that you still love Jesus, your words will be testifying on behalf of God, that person will be able to relate to your story and would want to know more about the type of love and peace that Jesus's provides. I hope this helps, don't underestimate the power of your words God bless you!

None of us can come to God on any kind of a worthy basis except through the blood of Christ. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. You need to focus on Christ's blood that covers you and makes you worthy to come to the Father, not on your worthiness, or lack thereof. The devil is the accuser of the believers. He's the one that wants you to focus on your failings rather than on what Christ has done for you. Here are some verses to consider every time the devil tries to make you feel unworthy to come to God: Matt 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (not YOUR righteousness, HIS); 1 Corinthians 1:2 "He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours." (God made you holy); Ephesians 4:24 "and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth." (your new self in Christ has been created in righteousness and holiness); Romans 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." (If you believe, you get Christ's righteousness); Hebrews 4: 14-16 "14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time." It's when we're the weakest that we need grace and need to go to God in prayer the most. Christ already died for you, He's not gong to reject you because you stumble and struggle.

First of all, I'm praying for healing, comfort, strength and peace. Second of all, our own emotions and understanding of matters often cloud our own thinking.

"No one will be able to defeat you all your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forget you.” (Joshua 1:5 NCV)

When you feel down, lean on God and that means that He will hold you up. When we cast our worries on Him, He will surely help us through and open the right doors for us.

I'm sorry that you're in so much pain right now. Have you considered seeing a Christian counselor to help you with what you're going through?

You mentioned that you feel you don't deserve to ask God for forgiveness when you mess up. Please don't beat yourself up - we're all weak and we all make many wrong choices throughout life. Satan absolutely loves to makes us feel guilty. It's one of his favorite ways to try and pull us away from God. We don't need to earn God's love in order to deserve forgiveness (we could never earn God's love, anyway - we're all much too flawed). We already have God's unconditional love, and nothing can take that away from us. When Satan condemns you, remind yourself that God gave us His grace, and that it is God's gift to us which we receive through faith alone - we don't have to "earn" it. When we make a wrong choice, God will always forgive us when we ask for His forgiveness (and there's no limit whatsoever on how many times we can ask for, and receive, God's forgiveness.)

Regarding your self-perception that you aren't even close to achieving what you want to achieve in life, and that you feel you're not worth anything to the world, not good enough, etc. - it seems like Satan is hard at work here, too: Satan wants us to feel bad about ourselves. For years, I had a negative self-perception, and I believed all of the lies Satan was telling me about myself. But now whenever Satan tries to give me thoughts of self-condemnation, I think instead about how God sees me - He looks past my shortcomings and failures in life, and sees me through His perfect eyes of love. God knows that we're all far from perfect, and He loves us anyway. If God can love us, in spite of all our flaws, then we can learn to love ourselves, too.

Praying for God's peace, blessings, strength, guidance, and emotional and spiritual healing for you.

I want to die i've had enough and I pray i pray and i pray, with all the trust in him but i cant help myself. I pray to God to kill me cuz no other prayer is working. i'm done. Years upon years nothing has ever worked out. I have felt a emptiness and lonliness for years why would things change now? Cuz people are telling me to wait? I am tired of this torture and now i dont pray for my dreams cuz i give up..i pray god to end my life, if 27 years i cant amount to anything after praying for so long then just end it cuz obviously these prayers are not for me. So my dream is not to be a radio personality, its not to manage a gym its not to have wife and kids and its not to publish my books. My dream now is for God to take my life. I cant kill myself so i pray that God does it. That is my new prayer. Im sick and tired of life.

Are you still here?

Johanzo.. I truly hope that since you've posted your last message on this thread, that you are still striving to persevere. Let me tell you something, brother..He wants you to persevere. Don't let the enemy's lies bring you down. God wants to heal your heart, brother.. and to help you move forward into better things He has planned for you. When you fully and completely trust in His Words.. you stand on the solid rock of His truth. Please don't let the enemy separate you further from God and to lose your trust in Him. All the enemy wants is for you to feel condemned, guilty, ashamed, worthless, like there's no hope.. but let me tell you something.. as someone who is a survivor of suicidal tendencies.. my life has since changed because I decided that I couldn't bear the burdens anymore on my own..I needed His help. The weight of all of that was too much. That's why He wants us to cast our burdens and care onto Him because He cares for us and wants to carry us and not have us go through all the weight of the pain, hurt, etc on our own.

I encourage you to watch this video [the top one, not the bottom one]:
This is something that may help strengthen your belief, your faith, and hope like it has for mine many times.
I intentionally skipped it to the time in the video that I wanted you to view it from [should start at 52:22]. I've probably watched this about 8 times already.. it's super powerful and far from boring ♥ I highly recommend it

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
