I'm a very insecure and sensitive person. I get upset easily over the slightest things and start throwing fits of anger. I'm a very weak person who constantly needs help all the time since I struggle with doing things right; I'm so hasty and impulsive(I wish I wouldn't be), my brain has impaired logic and rationality. I've tried taking this to the Lord but I fail. My family members can be so insensitive and not understanding when I try to tell them that their words or the way they carry out those words through their tone hurt. All of these things and personal past experiences trigger or distort things and then I start throwing immature and ungodly fits of rage. Will you please pray I would grow up and stop with all this. Please and thank you.

I know seeking God through all this through prayer, worship, service, and Bible study help. And I try to, but I really struggle.

You have to get to the cause of all of this. Some portions of this may be your personality, but if your personality becomes too amplified it can take good traits and make them work against you.
Much of what you say about yourself is how i was when i was younger, and how i can still be.
One thing that helped me was discovering what kind of personality i had. Once i learned, and realized many others had similar issues as i did, it made things easier. Made me feel like i wasn't defective, but that i misunderstood myself, and that others often misunderstood me as well. But how could i expect others to understand things i didn't? But learning all of this makes it easier for you to learn to accept yourself.
Once you learn this, then you can start separating negative learned traits from your natural traits that have just become too dominate.
It sounds likely you have depression, as well. And that can play a big part in being hyersensitive, lashing out and distorted views of yourself and the world.
Prayer is useful and effective and should be a part of your working through this, but often time God expects us to put in our own efforts, which He can then bolster, instead of just doing things for us. So learning the right steps and facts and moving forward with prayer is your best bet.
If you have any questions or want to talk more feel free to message me. Or i'll try to remember to check back (but i often forget where i post haha).

I will pray for you.

Praise God that you acknowledge some of your tendencies. But be sure to let God acknowledge tendencies of His own, too.
This goes for what others did that we feel responsible for, too!

Believe me, I try EVERY SINGLE DAY to slow my impaired brain down only to somehow make things more difficult, why? I wish I knew the reason....it's not like I do this intentionally. If God wired me this way because that was the best way to humble me and so that I would suffer greatly in general for His name, it's working (1 Peter 4:19, 2 Corinthians 12: 5-10). I wish it wouldn't have to be this way but I don't get to decide that. [h=1][/h]The hard part I'm having praising Him for all this. It's one thing to praise him with my words, but it's another to do so with my heart(especially when it's so angry and sad and putrid in general(Jeremiah 17:9)). If I'm missing the whole point of your post, forgive me and please enlighten me more if you can.

Brainwashed at 5...impaired brain here, too. I learned to stuff it stoically. Not as good as one might think. I 'behaved" in irrational manners. God has helped me overcome many of those. I have a resume of 'overcomings'. I"m proud of them, but I know it wasn't of my own strength that I achieved that. God is good. I love Him so very much. Stay close to Him and He will help you through this battle. If you ever need a friend, there are several here to talk to.

Dearest Father,

CG is fighting this battle and today comes to the 'elders' for advice and prayer, thereby following biblical protocol. I join in the prayer for the healing and intervention to keep Satan from stealing and destroying this dear child of yours. Bless her in this Christmas season with comfort and hope and love from your dear gift, your beautiful son. Let her know she is not less than, but more of a precious person in your sight. Amen
