My friend Jonathan is really scaring me. I've been talking to him and he barely goes a day without talking about the pain he feels or how the world would be better without him. Whenever he's felt a high pain he's actually said his goodbyes to me. It's terrifying me and only God can save him. I ask, please PLEASE pray for him. If he's not touched by God then there's no hope for him. But I know God loves him and that He can save him so he needs prayer. Please do.

I will pray for your friend Jonathon. I promise. And I'm wondering here if perhaps you shouldn't mention what Jonathon's going through to your parents....or even his parents. I know you might feel like you are betraying a friend but in reality, you could be truly helping him. It would help greatly if Jonathon had an adult he could talk to and get his feelings out. Maybe even a school counsellor. There is no shame in going through a depression and it appears as though Jonathon is. Depression is simply anger and fear "turned inwards". I'll pray for him now and you consider what I've suggested. May God protect and guide both of you.

I will ask The Father to help in this situation and ask the Spirit of God to help him and let him know he has a plan for him and no matter how he feels God knows him and loves him.

My friend this is a Demonic Spirit attacking him. I know, I have been through it. We have to pray AGAINST this power. Satan cannot prevail if we agree in prayer against this evil Spirit. It is Satan that comes to kill and destroy, even to steal our very souls from God. There are certain weapons a believer has that can prevent this attack. We WILL pray against this to the glory of God. May Jesus keep you and Jonathan.

I agree with Ramon that we have to stand together in prayer. I pray that God will deliever him from the evil one. I also pray that He will give you the right words to say to your friend to help him out. (luke 12:12)

Honestly, I've tried about every way I could. I'm NOT trying to get God to do my dirty work. I've told him of God, told him I was here, tried to save him myself, I tried to tell him that he's not worthless, I've tried to tell him that I love him as a brother and that it'd kill me if he did anything, I've told him about everything and I've tried to do even more. I've prayed time and time again, tried to rally friends together to show him love, tried several more things, about everything short of showing him God Himself. So all I can do now is trust in prayer, that's why I'm putting this up so please just do that.

Dear Brother, I pray that God will cast all evil, doubting, negative spirits from Jonathon, forgive him for his sins, grant him the gift of faith, heal him physically, mentally, spiritually, and grant him peace, tranquility, joy, and the knowledge that God is only a prayer away, in Jesus name, Amen. Perhaps if you share these verses with him and offer to pray with him it will help:
"Oh Lord, how long must I call for help before you listen?
I shout to You in vain; there is no answer. Help Murder! I cry, but no one comes to save. Must I forever see this sin and sadness all around me?

Wherever I look, there is oppression and bribery and men who love to argue and to fight. The law is not enforced and there is no justice given in the courts, for the wicked far outnumber the righteous, and bribes and trickery prevail."

"The Lord replied; Look and be amazed! You will be astounded at what I am about to do! For I am going to do something in your own lifetime that you will have to see to believe." Habakkuk 1: 3-5 Does it not feel right
?
Does it not feel like something tremendous is about to happen? It is in the air! Are you ready?

Dear Lord Jesus, please forgive me for my sins, cast all negative, fearful, doubting spirits far from me, heal me physically, mentally, spiritually, grant me the gift of faith,
wisdom, peace, tranquility, joy, and the certainty that you will never leave me, fill me now with your Holy Spirit, lead and guide my future path in life, these things I ask in Jesus name, Amen

Dear brothers and sisters, speak to our Father often, read His word a bit everyday, go out and find your brothers and sisters of The Almighty God !!! Remember, Salvation is not a feeling, God is with us always. It is only feelings that change. God will return joy to your life, stay close to Him !!!

May God pour out His richest blessings upon you and yours !!! Have a great day in Jesus.

Love in Jesus Christ
