I hope this message finds you in good health.
I feel lost and I think I need help. Please post for me and hide my ID.
I'm in my middle 20's, it's not love related.
I've been a strong believer of prayer my whole life and loved things to do with God (reading the bible and sharing the word with people around) .
Ever since then, my belief that "prayer works", changed. I thought the protection of God was always upon those that fear Him like Psalms 34:7 suggests. I thought I had the protection of God with me til a knife pierced through my flesh.
Years have gone by, and I still feel like it happened yesterday. I have tried praying about it, was counselled but nothing changed. My mind keeps reliving it up and it makes me feel stressed. Bottom line, I no longer pray, my heart is in pain, things to do with God now irritates me. Sometimes I feel like God does not just exist, like we were just brainwashed to believe in such.
My mental health is not stable because of it and I wish to die every day.
To the Christians, help me, does prayer also works on mental health?
It's too much for me, I feel lost, I feel all alone. Nothing impresses me no more except the feeling of yearning for death to come.
