Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
…my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. Let not the water flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me…
(Psalms 69)


In serious need of a miracle. SOS. Calling for rescue from the empty cesspit of this life so static stark suffocating me and all that is left crucified hung upside down in this cratered graveyard garbage bin where i rest without peace unstrung and calcified at an impasse super isolated alone unemployed hopeless dead inside life is wasting away every moment of consciousness torture never felt this walled in, buried alive choking on thin foul air inside this coffin existence i am basically already a corpse gasping last breaths sequestered in this silent leper’s den of solitude a faceless cadaver wasting away cut open and gutted wallowing deep down inside the shallow grave where I die imprisoned in the hollow tomb of my mind festering unnoticed in the blur of every day another braindead motionless abortive slaughtering of hours without a blood trail all evaporating my blood coagulated inside the carcass in which i am caught up strangled and entangled, stultified without a trace of the light seeping in. frigid indifferent black hole of nothingness devouring me without end and ripping me to ragdoll shreds as the deadening darkness grows longer deeper wider crowding over me, shutting me out i scream out all the life left limp crawling coughing out the last droplets of myself liquefied in livid mutant tears and blood gone corpse cold and ossified every last spurt down to every last sip sucked out i’m sprawled out under a shroud dried out by this deadly disease that is clawing out the last remnants of my mind blinded and beaten down, stiffened stifled at this unending standstill, stranded at the very end of this dead-end. trapped with no way out no clue how to get the **** out of this torture chamber the discolored pallor of the dead canvas into which my life has spattered and shriveled into utter insignificance, a chaos of graffiti jotted across the blank defaced canvas where i rot bleeding out from the gashes all over till i am erased from this life a hapless waste till there is nothing left i am vacant, forlorn, vanquished, better off never being born. doomed to permasolitude. i wish i would fall asleep to never arise again drift off into the shapeless black deadness of eternal slumber. unemployed stagnating i struggle to keep my head up above the sludge flooding this airtight arid dungeon space i am dwindling half-vanished forgotten. null and void. this tomb of my life is where i have lingered listless swallowing the poison of the quicksand as i sink screaming without a voice left without a reason left to resist the death depleting me deleting every last inkling of this barren existence drinking the last drops of my fetid husk of flesh flailing and then comatose im dying from the ocean of pain under which ive been crippled from the toxins on which ive overdosed.

Lord I am not worthy to receive You, but only say the words and I shall be healed.

OK! Now that you have graphically expressed just how desperate you, (and everyone else!), is in their need for Christ, the question is have you accepted Him?

The passage you refer to, that catholics have changed a bit is this:

[h=3]Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant[/h][SUP]5 [/SUP]Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, [SUP]6 [/SUP]saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
[SUP]8 [/SUP]The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! [SUP]11 [/SUP]And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. [SUP]12 [/SUP]But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” [SUP]13 [/SUP]Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.


So if you have accepted the Lord, believing who He is and what He has done, then STOP focusing on YOU! Get up every day, and actively look for ways to spread the love and hope of Jesus Christ. When we focus on Jesus, and others, especially brothers and sisters in need, and HELP them in all possible ways, the deadness and unworthiness will not enter your mind.

Holy Father, please reveal yourself to this young man in unmistakable ways. Let him know just how much he is loved, and valuable he is. In Jesus Name I pray.

sorry... its not that i forgot on this one. i wrote it as stream of consciousness originally n my online journal. it happens sometimes, outpouring of all this painful expression, like i'm just trying to work it out of my system and dont even focus on anything about the form. it's easier to write like this, being completely unmindful about the punctuation and such when i'm caught up in this hurricane of torment and wanting to just unleash it through my words with uninterrupted venting. but certainly when it comes to my normal 'prose' i will be diligent about proper punctuation and paragraphs. i'm an english teacher after all (albeit a currently unemployed one)-- but being an english teacher is a state of mind and i should be setting a finer example. like right now im not even capitalizing because im just too lazy to and i wanted to send u my clarification asap. I actually anticipated that this kind of writing could be a nuisance and wondered if i should even share it here. but anyways, thanks for reading my work and sorry it was such the enormous scattered mess that it is. such is my mind right now. :)

John 12:25
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 Corinthians 4:11
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place; [SUP]12 [/SUP]And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: [SUP]13 [/SUP]Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off scouring of all things unto this day. [SUP]14 [/SUP]I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you."

2 Corinthians 12:10
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.


Matthew 5:3
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Luke 6:20
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets. 24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. 25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.

Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Philippians 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith


1 Thessalonians 3:7
Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.


***

That feeling that you don't belong in this world? It's because you don't belong to this world. The fact that you suffer in it says you must be doing something right. God says to persevere. Paul said he would. Shall we do any less?

As I was reading your gut wrenching plea to God I had no idea how I would respond...I felt speechless and unable to help. But then I thought of Psalm 139, which has had a tremendous impact on my life both in the good times and downright horrific times...like during my painful divorce and when my Dad died tragically and unexpectedly last year. I don't know what in your life is causing you to feel so absolutely sorrowful (to put it lightly), but I pray that Psalm 139 will give you the love, comfort and hope that it has brought to me during my absolute best and absolute worst of days. I pray the love of Christ will cover you from head to toe in His grace and mercy.

Psalm 139 - a psalm of David

1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!


7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave,[a] you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.


13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.


17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
18 I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!


19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
20 They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
21 O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.


23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
…my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. Let not the water flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me…
(Psalms 69)

Okay, a simple "HELP me, Jesus!" would have been just fine. :)

For your miracle of salvation, simply pray:

"Father in Heaven, I call upon the Name of Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, the only Savior, please SAVE ME! I confess and repent of all my sins. Wash me in the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God that takes away my sin. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth and teach me Your Ways. I want to know You and walk in Your Ways. Please have mercy and receive me. Help me to love You. Help me to know You. I ask all of this in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Savior and my Friend. Amen."

Here's a little poem/song for you:

Oh my soul longs for You
Lost and confused
Not sure what to do

Oh my soul cries out to You
Lord come, restore my soul

Lost soul, I have good news
The Lord above loves you
He has heard your cry
And will answer you!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Oh my soul longs for You
Broken and bruised
In pieces and used

Oh my soul cries out to You
Lord come, restore my soul

Let Me cleanse you from your sin
Then, I will call you friend
Lost and broken
Confused and bruised
Never again
For side by side we will walk
Heart to heart we will talk
You will learn My Ways
And know that I love you

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Oh, my soul has been restored!!

I love this chapter of the Psalms, thank you for highlighting this for me. A powerful meditation that resonates with me. In fact i have been reading many of the Psalms these days since there are lots of passages that read like a near verbatim echo of my own heart’s constant supplication to God. I appreciate this a lot, God bless you.

Thank you for this. I want to say more later in response when i have time, but this is all very helpful. Yes I recall the verses about the centurian and thanks for drawing my attention to these passages. I use that Catholic prayer a lot these days. Indeed i must get out of my own head and resist the self-focus that is clouded in darkness. I pray for God to channel my energy outward with love and goodness, to direct my unfaltering focus toward Him.

Part of that Psalm was read during the show I watched last night :):):)
