Tyrese Asks For Prayers

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Tyrese asked for prayers, love, and support from his fans. He also explained that he was feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, and stressed.

Text over the video read, “Stretch your hands out please and pray for me. I really feel discouraged and feel like I’m about to lose my mind.”

“Perception versus reality is a very real thing,” he wrote. “Wherever you are in the world, and whatever God you serve, I’m asking you to stretch your hands toward this screen and pray for me.”

He added that “Most people would never post something like this on Instagram.” In addition, he said that he was “on the brink,” “overwhelmed, deeply stressed, and being pushed to my limits.”

“Everything imaginable has been hitting me from every direction-mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and financially,” he wrote. “I have an extremely high tolerance for pain. Most of the time, I smile my way through whatever I’m carrying, whether people realize I’m hurting or not. But right now, I’m empty. I’m depleted. My soul is tired.”

Tyrese added that he is usually the one giving encouragement, but he “desperately” needs it now.

“I need somebody to be there for me,” he continued. “Please take this post seriously. I’m not asking for money or anything material. I’m asking for prayer, covering, love, positive energy and genuine support. Please literally pray for me. What I’m carrying is heavy-very heavy-and I don’t believe I can continue carrying all of it alone. Pride and ego come before the fall, and only pride or ego would stop me from being honest enough to post this. Please stretch your hands toward this screen and pray for me. Write your prayers in the comments because I want to read every single one. Thank You, Jesus, in advance for everything You have already done-and everything You are about to do.”

Tyrese Also Posted About Preaching

The actor also shared a post on Instagram on Sunday, August 2, that may shock some fans. He shared a video of Pastor Warryn Campbell preaching, and Tyrese noted that he’s been called on to preach.

“I’M ALMOST SCARED TO POST THIS,” he wrote. “For years, people have told me that I’m called to preach. My grandfather was a pastor with his own church in St. Louis. I’m a truth-seeker who loves Jesus Christ, and I remain public and unapologetic about my faith—even though I am far from perfect.”

He also said he was joining the church.

“Pastor John Gray, thank you for PREACHING today,” he continued. “I cried and cried again. California Worship Center blessed me. Next week, I’m returning with Zelie Timothy, and we’re becoming members. I’ve been searching for a church home—and I finally found it. THANK YOU, JESUS!”
