I am feeling so far down right now, it’s so bad that I don’t have any energy to go to work. I just want to stay in bed all day. I awoke to no paycheck (long story) and I am now feeling like a failure to my family to keep us going. I don’t know how to. I’m just wanting to hunker down and stay in my bed all day. No energy to work or clean or anything like that. I just can’t do this anymore.

You aren't alone. God understands how you feel. You and I aren't the first to feel this way:

Psalm 44:5 NIV

"Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God."

And part of the reason we feel this way?

Proverbs 13:12 NIV

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."

There is the diagnosis and the cure - Jesus Himself.
I just want to stay in bed all day.
Jesus still does miracles, even when we confine ourselves to bed because we have created a prison within our own minds:

Isaiah 61:1 NIV

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners..."

I awoke to no paycheck (long story) and I am now feeling like a failure to my family to keep us going. I don’t know how to.
Trust Him to provide for your family. He promises to do so for all who believe and daily seek Him first. His name is Jehovah Jireh (the Lord will provide):

Matthew 6:33 NIV

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.:
I’m just wanting to hunker down and stay in my bed all day. No energy to work or clean or anything like that. I just can’t do this anymore.
Yes, you can. He gives us strength when we can't carry on, if we only trust Him and get up and dedicate each day to receive His strength, will, and energy to carry on.

I know it sure doesn't feel so good, but I do believe God has you in a good place. He let me come to the point where I couldn't carry on - to lead me to the end of myself and get serious about seeking Him daily through Scripture reading and prayer. Every day now is a joy to live and serve Him. I believe He will do that for you because He loves you no less than me.

Carry on! God bless!

I will pray for you. Remember, we live in a fallen world, it is not your fault. God can provide. If worst comes to worse, you can go to the local food bank, or ask the church for sustenance.

My wife says do what you can do and trust the rest to God. So if you can not do it then trust it to God. Give it to Him., let it be His problem if there is nothing else you can do.

Praying now!

Lord God I lift up somebodysangel to You right now and I pray for Your intervention in her current situation and for complete healing and deliverance from all symptoms of mental illness, I take authority over any symtoms of depression and I command them to go right now in the name of Jesus! I pray for supernatural strength for somebodysangel to endure her current situation and I pray that You would deliver her from her situation! I also pray for supernatural strength and energy in her physical body! Than You God!

Praying the Lord will bring you peace of mind and the strength to move forward. Not sure about your job circumstances .... but make yourself get out there and seek employment ... usually when one door shuts a window opens. Never give up!

Lord please show this person the way forward .... Amen.

Thank you. I am working it’s just I don’t have the energy to go in and do my job. And it’s a job I normally love.

Sometimes it takes two people praying together in unity. Where two or more is gathered in His name.
