Everyone who I prayed for a better relationship in their future, without fail, found a worse one. Even people I probably wouldn't have seen or contacted again, I always end up finding out that their life just kept getting progressively worse.
100% of any real life relationship success stories I'm aware of, are the people I didn't know to pray for because I didn't know they were "missing" anything in life.
🤣 pessimistic much? Seriously that really sucks if you believe that, and clearly you do. So this is how I would go about it moving forward.
You are putting too much faith in yourself. I get really anxious when I do this, like your message here.
When you pray think about who God is and not what you can do. Personally I use verses from the Bible to use while praying. It's actually genius bc God can't lie and so his word you repeat must hold true. And so it holds him responsible for abiding by his word, while also increasing your faith. Particularly when he answers your prayer which is amazing.
I keep a prayer journal, which is just a pocket Bible. I highlight the verse I like for prayer and tab it. Different colors mean different things. I only use my favorites which give the highest faith in God. I enjoy it this way and it helps keep me on track. I have people on my front page and cross off when prayer was answered, which right now is a lot. If I get anxious I pull it out and remind myself God's word.
I always start with this one:
Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning i bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3
I also like... "As soon as I pray you answer me. You encourage me by giving me strength. " psalm 138:3
" you can pray for anything, and if you have faith, your will receive it." Matthew 22:22
Health- use a lot for prayers for people.
O Lord my God I cried out to you for help and you restored my health. Psalm.30:2
I will give you back your health, and heal your wounds. Jeremiah 31:17
