God, you said, “I'll never leave you; I will never forsake you. ”-Hebrews 13: 5

Hello Dear Heavenly Father, it is me, your son Willie

I come to you today in desperate need. I've been suffering, and I don't know what to do. Evil attacks me in this world. I don't even know what to say, but I know that you're my only hope. This is my cry for help. Lord, hear my cries.

I feel abandoned, misunderstood, lost in a world where I have no value. I put on a happy face trying to stay focused; I even ask for your guidance if it is your will for me to be an elder in the church, knowing that I have many problems and limit the range of motion of things that I can physically accomplish.

I feel as if I have strayed too far from you, even though I know your Word says that "you will never leave me or forsake me." (Hebrews 13: 5) I invited your son Jesus to live in my heart. Still, I let the sufferings of my medical problems, PTSD, hard times standing and walking, night terrors scare me off or scare me easily. I am always on guard against danger; sometimes, I thought of Self-destructive behavior, I find myself having trouble concentrating, irritability, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior.

Frustrated dealing with the veteran's affairs office and the ongoing chaos, this world turns me off. My mind has been wandering all over the place, and I wish people were concerned about the mental health issues our veterans and first responders are good at as much as they focus on athletes and movie stars.

I don't know how much longer I can deal with these things. I want to feel your presence with me. Trust you to give the answer to my problems and the antidote to my pain. Lord, please help!

 I renew my trust in you as you guide the paths of my life. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my cry for help and for caring about me.

In the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, Amen.
