I am the one that is depended upon to make things right when they go wrong, to say that everything will be ok, and I am completely overwhelmed. I can't make the sun shine or turn back time. My boyfriend needs me to help him (I won't go into details) but I don't know how. I know as a Christian I am supposed to cast worries upon God and trust that he will guide me, but I'm finding it so difficult right now and I don't know what to do. Things aren't all sunshine and roses. What do you do when the one you love is crying to you over the phone, asking for help and you don't know what you can do or if there's anything you can do? And right now we are in different towns so I can't even be there with him. I can't stop worrying and it feels like everything is hopeless. I'm so exhausted from worrying all the time and I want it to stop. Some times I'm ok and I try to keep telling myself everything will be ok. Then other times I feel as if I'm only disillusioning myself, and I start to cry. I need prayer and so does my boyfriend. Please pray for us.

In every season, there is not a time where God is not needed. It may be difficult to trust Him, but it is also one of the best times to do that. If all you can do is pray, pray. Faith grows greatly under the difficult moments in our life, because it's being put to the test, if you are leaning on Christ. If you can trust God in the good times, shouldn't we do the same in tribulations and testings? We aren't perfect, but this is your time to grow, witness, and show your faith in Him.

Remember a flower must first grow through dirt.

. "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." (Romans 12:15) it's ok to not know what to do. Sometimes all we have to do is be there with them letting them know we're there. I don't know if that helps at all. Praying for you both

What kind of help does he need? Why do you believe you can't provide it? Sorry I don't mean to pry but the most effective prayers are the direct ones. Yes Lord God I do join with the others here in praying for wisdom and discenrment and rest for you. According to your faith may it be so. But confession of the specifics is what frees us, and sets things in motion. And it is in the binding and silencing of specific demons that we bind and silence their influence. I pray for you, and your boyfriend, that both your demons be stilled. That you both are given support and direction. That God's Will prevail over the situation. Amen

Father, give this person strength in you and the joy of the Lord in Jesus name. I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given to me — the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
