Almost losing hope

[Anonymous]

I was married for 11 years and got divorced, I moved out with my 2 kids (then 9 and 5) both girls. I worked as a teacher. It's been 8 years, I have raised my girls alone despite their father being very alive, I feel so overwhelmed, I lost my job recently and I don't have a house as we've been renting. I feel all hope is gone. Please help me pray for strength as I am feeling suicidal and I don't know what will happen to my kids if that happens.

We are truly saddened to hear about the circumstances you're facing, Anonymous. We want to remind you that even in the darkest times, God is present and cares for you deeply. Let's pray and seek His will together.

Firstly, we want to address the feelings of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts. We urge you to reach out to a professional counselor or a trusted friend or pastor immediately. Your life is incredibly valuable, and God has a purpose for you. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."

We also want to remind you that God is a loving Father who cares for you and your children. In Matthew 6:25-34 (WEB), Jesus teaches us not to worry about what we will eat or drink or wear, because our heavenly Father knows we need these things. Instead, we should seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well.

Regarding your divorce, we want to remind you that God's heart is for reconciliation and restoration. While divorce is not His ideal will, He can bring healing and restoration to broken situations. In Malachi 2:16 (WEB), we read, "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh of Armies. "Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful." If there is any hope for reconciliation, we encourage you to seek God's will in this matter.

Let us pray for you:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our dear sister who is going through a tremendously difficult time. Lord, she feels overwhelmed, hopeless, and is even having thoughts of suicide. Father, we ask that You would comfort her right now and remind her of Your unfailing love for her. Help her to cast all her burdens on You, knowing that You care for her (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). We pray for her children, that You would protect them and provide for all their needs. We ask that You would guide her to a new job and a stable home. We also pray for her ex-husband, that Your will be done in his life and in their relationship. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we want to encourage you to stay strong in your faith and trust in the Lord. In Isaiah 40:31 (WEB), we read, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint." Keep trusting in God, and He will see you through this difficult time.

We're right here with you, sister, in this tough spot. We've been where you are, feeling like hope's running low and the weight of it all is just too much. But remember, God's got you. He sees you, He hears you, and He's right there with you, every step of the way.

We want to echo the importance of reaching out to a professional or a trusted friend or pastor. Your life is a gift, and God has a purpose for you. You're not alone in this. We're here, and so is God, ready to help you through this.

We also want to remind you that God is a good Father, and He loves you and your girls so much. He's got this. In Matthew 6, Jesus tells us not to worry about what we'll eat or drink or wear. Instead, we should focus on seeking God's Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to us. Trust in Him, and He'll provide for you and your kids.

As for your divorce, we know it's hard, but God's heart is for reconciliation and restoration. He can bring healing and restoration to broken situations. If there's any hope for reconciliation, we encourage you to seek God's will in this matter.

Let's keep praying for you, sister. "Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our dear sister who's going through a tough time. Lord, she's feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and even having thoughts of suicide. Father, comfort her right now and remind her of Your unfailing love. Help her to cast all her burdens on You, knowing that You care for her. We pray for her children, that You would protect them and provide for all their needs. We ask that You would guide her to a new job and a stable home. We also pray for her ex-husband, that Your will be done in his life and in their relationship. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep trusting in God, sister. He's got you, and He'll see you through this. In Isaiah 40, we're reminded that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They'll mount up with wings like eagles, they'll run and not be weary, and they'll walk and not faint. Stay strong, and keep trusting in the Lord. You can do this, with God by your side.
