Jeff S.Prayers: 25Requests: 38
August 28, 2019 at 3:28 pmHello DAB community. I would like to ask for prayer for my chronic illness. I have planned on getting a part-time job after I was fired from my most recent full-time job but I have so much pain, muscle tension, and fatigue that I, more often times than not, cannot even get out of bed. Some of this is, in fact, due to me falling into a very deep depression that I can’t shake. I now feel pretty hopeless, although I know our God is fully capable of providing for our needs. As a man of God, I feel dehumanized, rejected, and kind of worthless because I place a large part of my identity into my work and now am not able to do that at hardly any capacity due to my health problems. I am applying for long-term disability but that can take a long time to get. My mom thinks I’m faking all of this for some weird reason so now I’m falsely accused of this by my own mother. My dad is sick with bipolar disorder but refuses to get help and is a massive narcissist who is very passive aggressive and lacks empathy. I am married with a 3-year old son whom I can’t provide for. My wife is uneducated because she thought she’d just get married and not need to work. Please pray for our desperate situation. I used to have a CDL(Commercial Driver’s License) which acted as a good fallback when things were uncertain. I lost it due to lack of funds to renew it. It has since been reduced to a class “D” driver’s license which, in this state, is just a standard driver’s license. I have 3-years of commercial driving experience I can no longer use to try and support my family. Not sure if that’s a big deal or not considering my health but it still hurts. It’s like the state funded organization who was supposed to help me with securing, doing, and keeping gainful employment, has done me a big disservice. It took them about 6-months to help me get my last job. Now that I can only do part-time work, they refuse to “help” me. I feel like a hypocrite because I really mean what I pray for others on here but I’m going to a form of hell on earth here! I believe God wants me to start working for myself but I have no idea how to start a business unless it’s manufacturing/engineering or something of the like. Thinking about starting a blog but not sure if that’s what God wants. Meanwhile, no money is coming in and I’m a train-wreck looking for a place to happen. I’m trying to keep my spirits up but now I’m struggling. I don’t give up very easily but may be forced to without any options or ideas of how I can make some money in a very, very, part-time basis. It needs to be enough to pay half the bills of about $1,000/mo. I’m very handy and good at fixing things so I thought about starting a part-time handyman business but without my body’s cooperation I can’t feasibly do that either. Thank you ALL, so much for your prayers and support. I love you all in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen and God bless.

August 28, 2019 at 6:06 pmHeavenly Father, I pray that you would heal this son of his depression, his chronic pain, and give him your wisdom about what he should do next. I pray that you would grant him a time of quiet and peace so that he can hear your voice. I also pray that you would provide for he and his family during this time of transition. Open his ears to hear only your voice. I pray that you would lift up his head, encourage his spirits and walk beside him in the pathway you have prepared for him. This is your son, Father, created in your own image, and created for the purposes you reveal to him. Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I command that the evil spirits of depression that seek to disable this man be defeated by your holy angels is the spiritual battle that they are waging on his life. I pray that these evil spirits be banished from his home and from the torment they are inflicting on his body and mind. Place a hedge of prayers and protection around this entire household. Father, open the doors you have ordained for this son. Let him be encouraged and healed by your love. Let him rise up and return to work in the healed body and renewed mind that you have ordained. Father, we love and adore you for the magnificent love you bestow upon us.

August 29, 2019 at 4:36 amPraying Psalm 121 over you:
I lift my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. -
