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.

Matthew 6 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[g] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

1 Thessalonians 4 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,[d] that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
