    This is my last attempt to get help from God. Please pray to God that He will now please deliver me from out of the hands of my abusers, who use the power of God, that they got not FROM God, to destroy me.

    I have done all that I could for decades, in Christianity. I do not want to go toward evil, but if God will not help deliver me, I am no longer able to feel stupid in continuing to ask.

    I do not have any way out outside of the power of God, as God wills His power to be used by those who come against me

    Hi Anonymous,

    "Of myself I can do nothing" is to gain power(a paradox). Our function here should be deciding against what we want, in recognition that we don't know. So, say to the Holy Spirit: "Decide for me"; and it is done, for His decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this Light error of any kind becomes impossible.

    Father, Your Will be done. Thank you for your eternal love and patience. Your Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and nothing will prevail against It. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen"

    Hi Anonymous,

    Since I discovered this site, I've read a few comments similar to yours, having hate and disappointment towards God. The hopelessness and depression seems to be all that fills one's world. I, along with others, understand, even though the form of our difficulties vary. After many years exposure and intended dedication to Christianity, I arrived at the point of believing the strong possibility God did not exist, which brought on more depression. I hated nearly everything; particularly myself.

    Please be assured, no one can get the power of God and use it to destroy someone; simply because God is Love, and this Love only heals. You are confusing God with fear and hate, which never heals, thus we mistakenly tend to look for an outside source to find and experience love, where it will never be found. This outside source hates us and does not believe that love, NOT fear is really called upon by sin and always answers. It is suspicious at best, and vicious at worst. And you , my friend, are experiencing its viciousness. This need not be.

    You said, "I do not have any way outside of the power of God, ....." But, ALL power is of God; what is NOT of God (outside) has no power to do anything. God is within your mind and heart. In your desperation, based on my experiences, you are probably not in the position to make any decisions by yourself. Actually, none of us are.

    When you pray, try not to imagine preconceived ways in which the Holy Spirit may answer, because all knowledge lies behind every decision the Holy Spirit makes for us. Truly ask HIM and He will answer. The responsibility is His, and He alone is fit to assume it.To do so is His function. To refer the question to Him is ours. Would you want to be responsible for decisions about which we understand so little? Be glad we have a Teacher Who cannot make a mistake! His answers are always right. Would you say that of yours?

    to be continued...

    Hello Anonymous

    A man has to do everything they can do to get freed from such situations. Of course it is God who will eventually give a solution but this does not mean that you must stay passive and do nothing, surely something you can do. If those abusers are in your workplace you can inform your employer and ask for protection. If there is no help, then change job. If they are not in your workplace go and inform the police, the social security services or anybody who does that job in your place. If they are family members and you can not stand that any more again threaten them by saying that you go to the police and actually do that if needed. There are many legal ways to act, there is not any need to act on your own illegally, you will get yourself in a big big trouble if you do something illegal. Ask for help from friends, family members, the state anywhere you can get help from. They can give you good advice and support. God often ,apart from acting miracously, gives us a way to break through bad situations.

    You say that they use the power of God to abuse you, who? In a church? Why don't you then go away? Are you sure you don't imagine all that, maybe they are only in your mind? You need to talk to somebody.

    Let me bare my soul to you. If I go down to the deepest farthest pit of Hell.yet will I praise Him. It is I that has failed Him and am unworthy.

    If There be any good thing in me it is only because of the blood of Jesus that washes me clean and makes me righteous before Him. If there be any good thing in me It's because of Him. Our Wonderful Merciful Savior.

    I love You Jesus! I thank You and praise You! Not for anything You have done specifically, but for everything You have done AND just for who You are.

    You are WORTHY of all the HONOR and PRAISE! All that I can pour out upon You Heavenly Father from the very depths of my soul.

    I will pray for you dear Anonymous. I'm so sorry that you are in the position that you find yourself in!! I know that Joseph from the bible, had many years of waiting on the Lord and not knowing what was going to happen to him. Especially, his 10 years in prison after being falsely accused. I too, have had waiting periods and remember well, the pain in my heart - waiting on God to release me from a situation I was in. It was so hard! So, when I saw your prayer request, my heart went out to you!

    I pray freedom over your life. I pray peace within your soul regardless of your circumstance! I pray you receive a touch from God that speaks right into your soul; giving you hope and even joy, that surpasses human understanding. I pray you find the answers for which you seek. I pray hope into your mind, heart, body, and spirit; and that the hope of your salvation in Christ, may give you a true understanding of this life and a promise of what is to come. May the Lord bless you my friend!

    Worship moves the heart of God. He inhabits the praises of His people.

    You are in my prayers this morning.

    Cry out to Him in prayer and worship.

    See if He won't move Heaven and Earth for you!

    Dear Anonymous, greetings and Happy New Year. May I be blunt? What you have done in this post is make an ultimatum to God--either rescue me or else. Threatening God will not hasten his answer to your prayer of delivery. He does not work that way. If you are a born-again believer in His only begotten Son, you belong to Him. He makes demands of you, not the other way around.

    If you are under the blood, He will deliver you, for He did not send His only begotten Son to die for you and raise Him again only to abandon you. He promised to be with you always. I advise you to do three things in addition to what has already been said by others:

    1. Humble yourself before Him in the belief that He will lead you out of this trial, Ecclesiasticus 2:6 "Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him."

    2. Have faith that He will rescue you, Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

    3. WAIT on Him to act when it is His will to act. Accept his timeline. That is the best way, Isaiah 40:31

    "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

    God bless you!

    Psalms 22:3 Context

    1(To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

    May I suggest you just set aside 15 minutes a day for 1 week at the same time each day Aif positive to simply PRAISE, ADORE, and THANK The Lord for any and everything you can possibly think of BEFORE YOU GO?

    No complaining

    No past

    No future

    Just right now

    Praising Him.

    Don't ask for anything

    Except salvation

    Just praise and thank Him

    Love on Him

    Before you go

    You just need Jesus

    Tell Him that.

    I'm praying for you tonight.

    Psalms 22:3
