I don't normally make prayer requests but, lately I've been feeling my Mental illness a lot lately and I'm starting to grow weary of living. I'm going to schedule an appointment with my psychiatrist soon, so hopefully that happens and I can get someone to talk too. So I need some prayer's please. Jesus is feeling especially distant and I desperately need him back in my life.

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
My brother went to Church,and enjoyed it,but then complained he did not feel the Spirit anymore,lost some of his spirit and zest for going to Church,and said he was mad at God,but it was a result of him becoming worldly,and getting back in to sin.
Our sin will cause us not to feel the way God wants us to feel,and we think what is wrong,but it is because we are worldly,and wanting some sins in our life,and under that condition we will not feel the Spirit,and God cannot promise us a sound mind.
Sin can make us ashamed,and feel not that mentally great,but we might bear through it to enjoy that sin,but it might pile on us and cause unstability,which the Bible a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.If we try to live for Christ who is good,but want some sin,we have a conflict going on that can cause us to feel mentally unbalanced,for we are in a fix between the two.
Not saying this is you,but God gives a sound mind,and when our mind does not feel sound,then what is wrong,which the only thing it can be is worldliness in our life.
Also we can bring it on ourselves with our worrying,and woe is me attitude,when God said cast your cares about upon Me,for I care for you.
This can happen when we live for God that our self gets in the way,whether we allow worldliness in our life,or we worry about things and boggle our mind.
Its these dumb Trade bills. It's something I can't control and I know I shouldn't worry about it but my brain forces me to anyway :/ It's extremely stressful
Ive been there, and i will pray for you..., just understand that Jesus will never leave you.. if you want you could message me, im pretty chill and i don't judge
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles. Depression is a very complex issue that deserves personal and in-depth attention. It’s good you’re seeking help. I just said a prayer for you, asking God to draw you closer to Himself and to comfort you with His strength and peace. Hope everything goes well with you. Sending hugs & prayers your way!
Monnkai, Some words of encouragement for You....Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
2 Corinthians 4:17
Treasures in Jars of Clay…16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17For our light and temporary afflictionis producing for us an eternal glory that far out weighs our troubles. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.…
John 10:10Jesus the Good Shepherd
…9I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness. 11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.…

Hi Monnkai,
Cast all your cares on Him; He cares for you!
Prayers are going forth.
Even Jesus prays for you and so does the Holy Spirit.
Can't get any better than that!
I wouldn't fret over dumb trade bills. Trump is going to end all of that nonsense. Why should this concern you anyway?
He might feel distant but he's right there with you. Are you praying constantly like Paul told us to (1 Thess 5:17)?
If it wasn't trade bills something else would be worrying me. I'm sick of constantly being in a panic about things I can't do anything about.

I am so sorry to hear that you’re struggling with depression, Monnkai. The kinds of emotions you described are often hard to deal with. I think it would be a good idea if you can also seek help from a good Christian counselor who can assist and pray with you. I will certainly be praying for you. I trust that you will be encouraged by the Lord’s presence and His promise to always be by your side. Stay strong, okay?
Thank you! That means a lot! I have the exact counselor in mind. I'm so fortunate to have stumbled upon this site several years ago. People on here have been nothing but helpful.
Dear Jesus, heal Monnkai from depression. Monnkay,the following verse helps me a bit go through my own worsened depression these days:
11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the*Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.*12Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.*13You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.*Jeremiah

Hi, MonnKai.
First off, you are not alone. Many of us suffer from anxiety and depression. And even if it feels like Jesus is a long way away, remember that he said that He would never leave us, but that he is with us to the end of the age. We simply cannot base our reality on our feelings. They lie to us constantly. Jesus is beside you and in you. Trust him.
I understand being overly wrapped up in politics and the goings on in this world. It is enough to drive anyone batty. I frequently have to remind myself that I am not of this world. I am just passing through. While here, my job is to be a light that shines in the darkness for Jesus. Besides, even if we don't understand all that is going on, God is still the King of the Universe. His will will be done.
So turn of the TV, or however else you get the news, and cast your cares on Him, for He does care for you.
