I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Paranoid Personality Disorder. These conditions have made it challenging for me to secure steady employment and a reliable income, particularly because I struggle with privacy and boundaries with my coworkers. For several years, living with my mother and sister has intensified my mental stress, resulting in a difficult living situation. In my search for support, I turned to an unhealthy relationship with someone who overstepped my boundaries, causing emotional distress, even as I depended on him for financial help and a place to stay away from my relatives. Currently, this individual is trying to pursue a romantic relationship with me, expressing that he is working on his internal healing, seeking therapy, and listening to me in his efforts to improve. We've had many conversations in which he says I am now considered family to him. He attempts to comfort me and provide more attention, acknowledging the hurt he has caused. He reminds me that if I agree to be his partner, I must accept him as he is at this moment. He genuinely wants to change and grow closer to God and has begun to pray. During my time living with him, he has been steadily praying and striving for spiritual growth. He mentioned that I remind him of his faith, his church upbringing, and his deceased relatives who lived righteous lives and guided him toward holiness. I feel conflicted and am praying for God's guidance regarding the challenges in my life. Soon, I will have to return to my relatives' cramped apartment, where sharing a bathroom has been difficult. The holiday season and my birthdays have often brought me sadness over the years. I am seeking God's assistance to improve various aspects of my life and achieve better health. Unfortunately, I lack a supportive faith-based community and reliable transportation to attend church, which limits my ability to seek encouragement from a pastor and connect with others for stability. I would deeply appreciate your prayers during this challenging time. Thank you.

I'm battling thoughts of wanting to end my life. The pain I’ve been struggling to manage feels overwhelming, and it's hard to deal with it every day. I pray and read the Bible for comfort. I'm living with a man I’m supposed to leave soon, despite having spent years at his home to escape the difficult living situation with my family. I don’t want to leave his place, yet we aren’t married, which is deeply painful considering he's often expressed his desire for us to become husband and wife. We've shared moments of intimacy that have made this even harder. I feel guilty for allowing him to pressure me into things that weren't right for me. My chest is heavy with pain, and I can barely walk due to the emotional toll it has taken on my body. I just want to collapse on the floor and not move. I'm deeply depressed, and my spirit feels drained. Sometimes, a part of me wishes to end my suffering. I find myself calling out to Jesus for help. The man wants to be close to me and is trying to build a relationship, but I crave something deeper. I’m aware that we often clash and that he’s not the godly partner I need. Over the years I’ve grown attached to him, having spent a long time with him this year. I haven't had close, healthy relationships with family or friends for many years, and this ongoing depression about my stagnant life weighs heavily on me. I no longer want to bear this pain. Loneliness, anxiety, and depression are constant companions right now. I know that God and Jesus love me, but I’m still experiencing panic attacks, and the pain in my heart is immense. I struggle to walk, burdened by this low spirit. My soul is aching. The man tries to comfort me and promises to support me, but it’s incredibly painful to be living in a beautiful home within a safe neighborhood with someone who isn’t my husband. Each morning I wake up here brings more hurt. Please don’t judge me; I’m truly suffering and sometimes feel like I’m ready to give up.

Daniel's Greatest Love Of His Life

Dear God,

Thank you for everything that you are doing and making sure that I'm taken care of.

I would like to say that it had been 5 years since my lovely Daniel had brought my wishbone ring. It's worn on my right wedding finger, close to my heart and keep it safe.

I wish to have the money to pay for my engagement ring, what Daniel has planned for me.

I really wish that you could grant me my wishes.

Thank you.

Dear God,

Please bring my future and forever husband the gift of joy and happiness today! Let his heart be light and care-free. Don’t let the troubles of life or this world bring him down. Let him enjoy life to its fullest today and everyday! Let his laugh be heard and his smiles be seen. Let him be a shining joy to all around him. I pray that his family would encourage him and build him up so that he may do the same for others. Let the clouds of depression and worry see his joy and pass over him. Bring him peace and comfort so that he can experience the fullness of Your goodness.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the gift You have given me in my destined spouse. My vision is so often clouded by their failures and weaknesses that I forget to treasure who they are to me. Forgive me for taking them for granted. You’ve entrusted me with the privilege of caring for my spouse’s heart in a way no one else can, and I thank You for that honour. Fill me again with Your love for my spouse.

I ask You to bless me with special vision to see my spouse as You see them. Let me value them in the same way You do. Forgive me for trying to make my spouse into the person I want them to be. Help me to see the work You are doing in their life, and to support that work in any way I can. Let me rejoice in every step my spouse takes in becoming the person You have created them to be.

Give me an understanding and open heart to truly hear what my spouse wishes to communicate. When faced with a conflict let me reserve judgement until I fully understand. Give me the courage and wisdom to stick around through difficult conversations, and to always work toward not what is best for me, but what is best for our marriage.

Let me see frustrations and conflict between us as opportunities to understand better, and to offer my own character to You for any necessary changes. Show me who You need me to be in this season of our marriage. I give You permission to change me into the person You need me to be to my spouse. Use me in my spouse’s life in any way you can. I invite you God, to have full sway in my own heart and in my spouse’s heart.

Since Christmas is a very stressful period for people. Some people tend to argue and fight, I want to prepare myself and Daniel to continue loving and worshipping God together. This prayer will benefit us to be brought closer together and always cherish one another.

I trust your divine intervention that you will make it a wonderful Christmas for us both. That we will get to spend many more Christmases together happily in love and married, until the end.

Don't forget it's not about the presents under the tree but the people around it. Since everlasting true love until the end means alot to me. True love is truly my present, and I hope we will get married soon. Along with living together as future & forever husband and wife.

Thank you.
