My life’s a mess

Porn addict (it’s a strong pull), unemployed and still unable to score a job. General sense of hopelessness and anxiety.

The rest just goes into more detail, but no need to read it all if you just wanna start praying for me

thank u

I have a great singing voice (people say they like it) but my terrible anxiety always stops me from posting my finished songs online. I feel like the parable of talents where the guy buried his talent :( I want to feel faith and not anxiety for once.

I have a long distance girlfriend who’s given me chance after chance but I’m always afraid she’s gonna give up on me because I can’t seem to get my life to move forward

I’m at the point where I don’t have a car and had to move back in with my parents. Though I’m grateful that my parents took me in, I am almost 40, which makes this very depressing.

I did some bad sins 6 years ago (paid for s*x), and I’m always afraid that this has spiritually cursed me because it’s ever since then that my life went totally stagnant and the terrible fear/anxiety started there. I wish I had never done that.

I need prayer. Someone to care enough to pray Mercy over my life.

Remember when you repent you are forgiven. Seems like you aren’t forgiving yourself. You are not your sin. You got this. Praying for you

Thank you for your comment and prayer. The past couple hours I’ve been watching sermons on God’s forgiveness. I feel like it’s washing away years of feeling unforgiven

I’m very happy to hear that. His love is endless. It’s just up to you to feel the acceptance. Anytime I slip up, I like to read psalm 51 out loud. It helps me mentally

Thank you. I am, actually! I’ve been reminding myself that I’m truly Forgiven by God. I feel a lot of hope, which is very different than how I used to feel
