I have lost all hope in life. Please pray for me and the decisions I need to make. I am so tired.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13).

I have lost all hope in life. Please pray for me and the decisions I need to make. I am so tired.
Psa 27:13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

Psa 31:22 As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before Your eyes"; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried to You.

Psa 42:11 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

Isa 26:4 "Trust in the LORD forever, For in GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock.

Isa 40:28-31 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

I know no words to say that I know will make you feel better at the moment but I know things will get better maybe not today but it will... just keep going...


I'll pray for you 🙏🏻 ❤


MATTHEW 11

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

God says the key is perseverance (Mt 24:13). This is literally a war of attrition. With the benefit of knowing who wins in the end. Hang in there!

"I pray of a spiritual reprieve to come upon your life.
What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.
Through this spiritual connection, we allow our thoughts and behaviors to be directed by our own
conception of a power greater than ourselves rather than our own selfish and flawed decision-making."
'Amen'
'Praise God'

"The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often winged staff. It is often used as a symbol of medicine, especially in the United States, despite its ancient and consistent associations with trade, liars, thieves, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy, and wisdom". Wikipedia

Ima just guessing here, but maybe God doesn't like one of His identifying with liars and thieves or fake ancient gods?

Or using that as a symbol, when that symbol should be a Cross?

The serpent on the pole is symbolic of the cross,

And as Moses liftedup the serpent in the wilderness,even so must the Son of man be lifted up: Jn.3:14

It's amazing how our Lord cared about sinners, but was mistakingly thought of as one himself.

Sorry to hear you feel hopeless Iwascaduceus. All of the great people of faith feel hopeless at times, but I pray you know they remembered our Lord was their hope. He still is to us. No matter how bad or impossible things go, he never leaves or forsakes us.
May God bless you.

My heart breaks for you and am happy to pray for you.
For the first 5 years of being a Christian I suffered with depression.
Christianity is so contrary to the world. And until one gets some good discipleship we have a propensity to do things the same way we have always done them. We do things in our own strength and that seem best to us. This is, however, antithetical to biblical teaching.
What made us successful in the world makes us unsuccessful in the kingdom of God. Here we are to employ the power of God and His understanding.
Everything is turned upside down and it's confusing and difficult.
And if someone will not recognize the condition and come alongside and help everything becomes exacerbated.
As others have suggested it will get better. And if I can be of any assistance just let me know.
