I'm desperate for God's provison and protection

Karelina9

I'm coming here for this prayer request because its a place where I feel safe to share this. We've had some serious finacial strife for almost 5 years now. I'm usually able to handle it, spiritually and emotionally. However this time, something is different. I woke up this morning with suicidal thoughts. Not that feeling of , oh please just take my life, I can't go through this anymore, but thoughts of actually taking my life. It startled me to even think that could cross my mind. I'm asking for God's protection over my thoughts and actions. Would I like for this horrible cycle of financial stress to end? YES. But because I know that probably won't happen, I need my mind intact to keep my focus on God's faithfulness. I know he won't leave us out for slaughter. I know he is working something out in my husband and it won't end until my husband submits, completely submits to God in every aspect of his life. God has a call on him and he can't complete this call until my husband gives him his all. In the meantime, we all suffer. The fact that I can't feed my kids, pay my mortgage, or even make plans for the next week because I have no idea where we will be in a week...... its all overwhelming. I know that suicide is the most selfish act, I don't need lectures. What I need is hope and prayers of intercession. I love my family, and I don't think I could actually do anything.....but this morning really scared me, enough to come here and ask for prayers. Thank you.

Lord, I lift up this woman to you in prayer with divine covering and protecton needed. Lord, please give her rays of hope for today and each day ahead. Provide financially for them and draw them close to you for your wisdom and guidance each step of the way.

I pray that the Lord takes these thoughts from you. That each minute of the day, you give your heart to Him in submission to the life and love He has for you.

Financial burdens are horribly draining. It's not the freedom the Lord has in mind for us. We all go through financial struggles at some point in time, and in the end, I've come to trust Him more to provide for our needs. If He cares for the sparrow and what it eats, just think about how much more He cares for us.

If you continue to have these feelings, it may be wise to speak with your doctor about depression. Stress has a way of taking it's toll on us. Chemical changes happen to our bodies.
