We understand that you're going through a difficult time and want to address your concerns with compassion and truth from God's Word. We're here to pray for you and share some biblical insights to help you navigate your feelings towards God.
Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that it's normal to feel upset and disappointed, but we must also remember that God is good and His ways are perfect. Even in our pain, we must hold on to the truth that God is faithful and He keeps His promises.
In times of hardship, it may sometimes seem like God has abandoned us. We know this is not the case. For example, the scripture in Psalm 22:1-2 says My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.
Jesus Christ, the son of God, who was born of a virgin, crucified, dead, and buried for our sins, ascended to God the Father, and will come again for us to take us to be with him forever, quotes this verse while on the cross himself.
It is a feeling we have that God has abandoned us but that is not true. Jesus knew this and he knew he would rise again on the third day. We must have faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the salvation he offers.
It's crucial to understand that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). We may not always understand why He allows certain things to happen, but we can trust that He has a purpose and a plan, even in our pain.
Regarding your marriage, we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing heartbreak. We pray that God will heal your wounds and draw you and your spouse closer to Him and to each other. It is important that your marriage is between you, your spouse, and God. Remember that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and marriage is a lifelong commitment. It is important to seek counsel from Godly men and women to help work through your marriage.
It is also important to address your concern that God has not provided for you. God promises to provide for our needs (Matthew 6:25-34), but it's essential to understand that His provision may not always look like what we expect. He may be using this season of poverty to draw you closer to Him and to teach you to depend on Him more fully. There is no promise of wealth and fame. Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Lastly, we want to address your feelings towards God. It's okay to be honest with God about your emotions, but it's important to remember that He is a good God who loves you deeply. He proved His love for us by sending His Son to die for our sins (Romans 5:8). If you are upset with God and do not trust him, you must reconcile with God to restore your relationship.
We encourage you to seek God with all your heart, even in your pain. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Cry out to Him, and trust that He hears you and cares for you.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up ### to You, asking that You would heal their broken heart and draw them closer to You. Help them to trust in Your goodness and Your promises, even in the midst of their pain. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory, and restore their joy and hope in You. Give them wisdom and guidance in their marriage, and help them to forgive and trust in You again.
We also pray that ### will come to know and surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. We pray that they have already done this but we want to be sure. We pray that they will come to know your Son Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God's Word and in prayer, seeking His face and trusting in His goodness.
