Please pray for me. A few years ago, I went through a period where my life was basically turned upside down by a group of people who ruined my reputation and did a number of things to sabotage my career and harm my mental health. Even though my life has been restored in many ways since then, I still feel hopeless. I used to have so much joy and hope about my life and now I feel as if I have nothing left to live for. Please pray for me. I don't want to be suicidal. But I feel like my life has been ruined. I have had a really hard time letting go of the things that they did to me and I am constantly being reminded of it every single day. It's as if I am being tormented by the pain that these individuals caused me. Please pray for my emotional and mental healing from the harm that that situation caused to my life. Please also pray that God will give me some kind of hope so that I can keep moving forward.

Many times, God uses human agents to help situations. It does not hurt to call, nor is it a denial of faith.

Sorry to hear you are going through this time and how people have hurt you. I will keep you in my prayers. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. God has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. I pray you will see God's deep love for you and to keep holding on.

I would agree with Mayflower here. My thoughts were that you just need to focus on God more and more every day, get closer to Him all the time, and let what He is doing in your life to rebuild it be what you are reminded of every single day instead.
God bless, and I will do some praying for you. Thank for letting our community help.

Adding my prayers. And do talk to some flesh-and-blood human beings, please.
You’re a beloved child of God, and I don’t want to lose you.

Precious friend, Avianna, I will pray for you. And, yes, there Is Hope. When I
came To JESUS CHRIST, And, found forgiveness, It Was Very Wonderful!
I found out that because Of What HE Did On The Precious CROSS FOR me, I
could forgive ALL who had abused me. (Ephesians 4:32). Please be Very Richly
Encouraged In The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And His Word Of Truth!
God's Simple Will!
Praying this Also will help in your troubles, and release you to "move forward":

Avianna....pray for the strength to forgive.....every time the memories of your experience surface and make the choice to forgive.
Yes, forgiveness is a choice.....feelings follow later down the track. I am telling you this from personal experience.
When you maintain resentment, hopelessness follows on its heels......when you maintain forgiveness, the offending power has the wind taken out of its sails.
Dear Avianna,
So sorry to hear how you are feeling, it’s only when we let the Lord in and allow him to heal us on an emotional level that we can be at peace with our past. I am so sorry that others have created a broken heart , but the Lord cares and draws near to those who are broken.
He can help you to deal with all you have been through, may you know his presence and peace in a new way so that , in time, you can work through the hurt in a way that helps you to walk through life without the weight it is causing you right now.
Many on here can testify to the Lord working within them, we are all broken in so many ways, he has healed my broken heart , I pray he can heal yours.
Much love

@Avianna Lots of helpers here. I am also joining in prayer for you and your situation!
Hi @Avianna, a few years ago a group of people from a particular church did the similar thing to me. [Not my church]
I loved these people and treated them like they were my family but I was unaware that they had their own personal issues they were dealing with. They were Pastors and at one time they got their church folk to come and gather around my work place, praying against me, they spoke to my friends telling them that I was demonic, they did everything they could possibly do to destroy my credibilty in my own church, with my Pastor, as a leader a prayer warrior and worship leader in my church.
God however kept telling me not to touch his anointed, he told me that it is he who vindicates, that the battle is not mine but belongs to him. So I just prayed blessings and good things for them. I never entertained any ill feelings toward that couple.
I found out later that God really did vindicate me of all charges they tried to pin on me. Unfortunately for them however, they lost their mariage, they lost their congregation, they lost their church and they lost their ministry. Nothing I had done through prayer, but just trusted that I needed to be doing the right thing before God through prayer, blessing and lifting them up with praises and good things.
I will be praying for you as God has a plan for your life. He will fulfil it if you are willing to let him work in and through you.
Hope in God does not disappoint.
Blessings and Peace!

Will pray for you, Avianna
Don't give up hope, as God is able take the evil that was done to you and produce good out of it.
I'm reminded of the biblical story of Joseph, who's brothers sold into slavery. Later, he got a vision that would save those same brothers and everone from a severe famine. Since he was promoted from slave to ruler, he had the power to enforce rules that would give them what they needed during the famine.
It's in the broken places that God can use and promote you. You still have a purpose. You're still alive. You can't see whats ahead and how its going to get better but God does. Trust Him.
It won't always feel as bad as it does now. Please take good care of yourself. Make sure you are getting enough sleep.

Hello @Avianna and welcome here.
There are plenty on here who will pray for you, including myself. You are in a dark place right now and cannot see out of it. There is only one way out and that is UP. Reach out to Him to restore your joy and your HOPE...Let no man steal your HOPE!
We are still in this corrupt filthy world but not for ever, God misses nothing and wants us to put ALL our hope in Him...He sees what we do not and we can often get caught up in what we are seeing/experiencing in the physical rather on what we do NOT see which is...faith.
I pray for God to show you His hope sister, and that you will be able to smile again and enjoy the life He has given us. He will restore sister, I just KNOW He will! Living without hope is not living...
Many blessings and prayers, please keep us posted as to how you are coming along?
Although you have provided enough detail for people to latch onto to pray about: -
I will not come against your detractors.
I will however pray that God will continue to draw yourself towards Him and that He will lovingly embrace you so that you can know the Love of the Father in your life.
Knowing the Love of God in your life, may I suggest to you that you pray, for those who have come against you, in the manner described in the OP, that God will also include them in those who He is drawing to Himself. As has been suggested above, the Battle is the Lords to win and that we need to turn that battle totally over to God to fight and for Him to act as He sees fits with these people.
The battle will be won slowly by the Lord with the Lord giving ample opportunity for these detractors to repent of their sins against you.
I have also had to repent of my feelings towards people who have come against me in the past and to let God be God so that He can deal with the issues of the people who chose to come against me.
The victory is the Lords and His Joy is what we should be carrying in our hearts at all times.
My the Lord Bless you and keep you safe.
Shalom
Praying for you, @Avianna. I hope we'll see you back on the forum soon.

I have faith that God will keep you safe and finish what he has begun in your life. I pray for your safety and your health. I know it can be real difficult and i know what its like to have little desire to live. Just dont give up because Im sure you have people that you are important to and people that need you. I will pray that God restores and redeems you, if you ever need someone to talk to Im here for you!
Yes! In agreement with this.
