Lord,
Help me to take charge of my health. I have had difficulty with doing such. I am a binge eater and I know that I need help. The problem is, well the real problem is, I expect others to help me while I have great difficulty doing it myself. It has been a mere struggle. It is a lot of pressure because I wish to lose weight and keep it off. My worst fears have come true. My goals are to exercise, eat healthy, and keep the weight off. That has been a goal for a while now, but I wasn't sure what I should do and what my exact goals are. I ask that You would guide me and take away my anxiety, especially when it comes to this issue. I appreciate and give You thanks for the issue that You have given me. I ask for wisdom for I have knowledge that I wouldn't know what to do with. Thank You for that wisdom, Lord. Thank You for strengthening my faith and encouraging me.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

Law School
Lord,
Now I feel like I am reconsidering my option to go to law school. I don't have the qualifications or the job history to go to law school. Right now, I have no clue why I wanted to go. I feel so discouraged. I want to do more than get out of the house. I have no clue what I want to be, though I am a grown up. I thought that it would be a good idea but now I am not so sure. Lord, give me the guidance that I so need. I do want to go back to school. Now I have no idea what I want to do. I am discouraged also because I don't trust myself. I ask for encouragement and guidance. Now I also need a sense of direction in my life. Your help will be greatly appreciated as it always have been.
Sincerely,
Letters to God

I thank You, and I'm sorry..
Father,
I thank You for answering my prayers. You have healed me and given me hope in this world. Not only that, but You have also given me a sense of direction in my life. Thank You. I put my trust in You, something I should have done before. I am sorry. I apologize and I ask for Your forgiveness. Everything I said in my prayer was true. Everything that I am writing in my prayer is also true. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

My goals in life and what is needed to start over, so to speak.
Lord,
Thank You for the gift and love of music. I recall being a flute player when I was a child. I was decent, but since then, I never got to play it much again. I wish that I could still play. Nowadays, there isn't much I can do. I can barely make a mistake. I have nothing to do it seems. My days are the same, like groundhog day sort of speak.
I want to go back to graduate school to study law, business, or some other major. I know that I have much to offer. I am not so sure what to do with myself, but I know that at my age, there is so much I want to do. I know that it won't be easy, but I know I can do it. I have had jobs, but limited experience, I admit. I want to expand and have a career. I tried to be a teacher, a chef, and a business, but I have either failed or given up. The real issue is I don't have the money or a way to go. I don't know where to go or what to do. I want to do more than just clean house and stay isolated all day. I want to network, go to church and fellowship with other believers, and lots of other things. I haven't worked on or have done these things within the last ten years or so.
Because of You, I have learned to deal with anxiety. I know that I have a limited income and a skill set that needs updating, but I know that I can do well given the chance. I realize that I haven't laid much groundwork, but I will do that. I am a person who still doesn't know exactly what she wants to be when she grows up. I feel like at my age, I am still young, but I have felt like for years the world has passed me by since I have not gone to school. I want and ask for, doors to be opened to me. I believe that whenever I prayed this afternoon, You have listened. I ask for advice and guidance as well. I know that I need a resume and marketable skills. There is a lot that I don't know, and I realize that I need a plan. Lord, what should I do? I ask for wisdom also in this matter, and I thank You for Your wisdom, guidance, and continued since of direction in my life. Thank You and continue to give You thanks and praise for answering my prayer or rather, prayers.
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.

Having doubts and little faith
Lord Jesus,
I am having doubts that even though You and the Father are one, that You are my Lord and Savior. I have been having these doubts for years. As a matter of fact, I have doubts about a few things. I need to know about strengthening my faith. I ask for forgiveness, for I have little faith. I also lack wisdom. I thank You that You give wisdom liberally and I ask for it as well. I realize that I am struggling, but I have a hard time seeing that You are greater than. I also need to realize that with You, all things are possible. Lord, I also ask that You will help me to focus on what I have instead of what I don't have. Help me to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness and to not be anxious, worried, or afraid.
In Your name, Jesus,
Amen

Battles of my mind
Lord Jesus,
Your word says to be carnally minded is death. I am not sure if that it is what I have been. I realize that I will have to work extra hard to not be anxious and to be ever mindful of my actions. To top it off, sometimes being aware of my settings is not easy either. Lord, show me the difference between all of this and being carnally minded. Sometimes I have been led by my anxieties and fears. Other times, I know that You are speaking to me. I want to know that difference. Guide me into walking Your way free from all distractions. My mind is in great need of calming down. I realize that I can differentiate between reality and what is not real. It is has been however, difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood, and fact or fiction. That is what has been going on in my mind. Is this a medical or a spiritual issue? Regardless, I must fight for my sanity and most of all my soul? Help me to use those tools that You have given me. I sometimes feel weak and powerless and I have no clue. Lord Jesus, help me.
In Your name, Amen.

Motivations and having OCD
Lord Jesus,
I ask that You will help me to be a salt and light to the world. I know that I cannot save, only You can. You died on the cross for us all. Thank You. I ask for guidance in this manner. I would like to know how to be a witness to others. As a matter of fact, I am not sure what I need to do. One time, I even wanted to be a missionary. Like everything else, it didn't pan out. Maybe I wasn't cut to be a missionary. Maybe my reasoning was genuine. Whatever my goals, I want to do things for the right motives. I want to serve You, Jesus, all the days of my life. I don't trust myself at all because I don't want trust my motives. I am sorry for not praying to You earlier. I wish I had. I realize that I should have prayed about any impure motives that I have. Forgive me for all of my sins, including motives that were not genuine. I want to be a genuine person, a genuine Christian, and a genuine child of Yours. I put all of my trust and confidence in You.
I feel like the stress of living in this world is stressing me out, if that made any sense to me. Stress is something that I cannot live with at times. One thing that is causing me stress is uncertainty. I have OCD, as You obviously know. I wish that I didn't have this problem. This problem has made me question my motives. It also makes me question quite a few things. I have been having doubts that I am saved. It is as if I have to say the right words to be saved. I need assurance from You. There are times when I don't even know who I am as a believer. It is hard at times. It can be and it is scary. You are the God of Truth. I thank You that You and the Father are one. Who am I? If I were to die tomorrow, where will I end up? I sometimes worry about dying because of this, when things are severe. I think of the end times, especially during the moments when I become aware. Awareness, and You of course, have been wonderful for me. I ask You for help and healing in all things.
I give You thanks.
In Your name, Jesus, Amen.
