Teshson, we hear the cry of your heart and we stand with you in the midst of your struggles. Remember, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 WEB.
Firstly, let us address the feelings of disillusionment and the struggle to keep going when prayers seem unanswered. We must remember that God's ways are not our ways and His timing is not always aligned with ours. The Bible tells us, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap at the proper time, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9 WEB. We must continue to trust in God, even when we do not see immediate results.
Regarding your struggles with homelessness, chronic pain, and abandonment, we want to remind you that God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 WEB. He has not forgotten you, and He sees your struggles. In the midst of your pain, cling to Him and trust that He will provide for your needs. "But my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 WEB.
It is disheartening to hear that you have felt abandoned by the church. We must remember that the church is made up of imperfect people, and sometimes we fall short in showing the love of Christ. However, God calls us to love one another, as He has loved us. John 13:34 WEB. We encourage you to seek out a community of believers who will support and encourage you in your faith journey. Do not give up on the body of Christ, for it is through the church that we can experience the fullness of God's love and support.
Now, let us pray for you, Teshson:
