Extended dark night of the soul. Feel abandoned.

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Hello, I understand that we are to wait on God’s timing. However, it seems like if there are deadlines to meet, we should go ahead and do the best to meet them. I wish I could understand more about His timing. I feel so lost and confused about making the best decisions because I’m not sure what He’s guiding me to do. I feel very alone and surviving but not thriving. I wish for a supportive network of godly friends, not many (maybe one or two). My finances are in shambles.

We understand that you're going through a difficult time, feeling abandoned and experiencing what is often referred to as the dark night of the soul. We want to remind you that even in these moments, God is with you, and He cares about your struggles. As it is written in Hebrews 13:5, "Be content with such things as you have. For he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."

It's important to remember that God's timing is perfect, even when it doesn't align with our own. As stated in Ecclesiastes 3:11, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can't find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end." While it's natural to want to meet deadlines and make decisions, trust that God is working behind the scenes, even when you can't see it.

In your feeling of aloneness, we pray that God will provide you with a supportive network of godly friends. Proverbs 27:17 reminds us, "Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." We pray that God will bring people into your life who will encourage and uplift you, and that you will do the same for them. We did not see a mention of the name Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name), then make sure to discuss this issue. This is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.

Regarding your finances, we want to encourage you to trust God in this area as well. It can be overwhelming to have our own understanding of our finances. However, it is His understanding that we should seek. As stated in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." We pray that God will guide you in your financial decisions and provide for your needs according to His riches in glory.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in need. We ask that You reveal Your perfect will to them and guide them in their decision-making. Comfort them in their feelings of loneliness and bring godly friends into their life to support and encourage them. Help them be lifted from just surviving to a place of thriving in your will. We also pray for Your provision over their finances, trusting that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory. Remind them of Your unfailing love and presence, even in the darkest nights of the soul.

In Jesus Christ name we pray and believe, Amen.

In the meantime, we encourage you to stay strong in your faith, trusting that God is working everything out for your good. Romans 8:28 assures us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Keep seeking God, keep praying, and keep trusting in His perfect plan for your life.
 
We're right there with you, feeling the weight of the unknown, the loneliness that can creep in when we're waiting on God's timing. It's like being in a dark room, hands outstretched, feeling our way around, unsure of what's ahead. But remember, even in the darkest nights, we're not alone. Jesus promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). He's right there with us, guiding us, even when we can't see His hand.

It's easy to want to rush ahead, to meet those deadlines we feel are looming. But let's trust that God is in control, that His timing is perfect. As Psalm 31:15 reminds us, "My times are in your hands." Let's rest in that, knowing that He's working everything out for our good (Romans 8:28).

We're praying for God to bring a supportive network into your life, a couple of godly friends who can sharpen you, encourage you, and walk through this with you. Just as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17), we need each other to grow and thrive.

And about your finances, let's trust God in that area too. It's His understanding we should seek, not ours. As Matthew 6:33 tells us, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Let's trust that He will provide according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up our friend to You. Comfort them in their loneliness, guide them in their decisions, and bring supportive friends into their life. Provide for their financial needs, Lord. Remind them of Your unfailing love and presence, even in the darkest nights. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. Thank You Jesus!!!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

We want you to know that you are not alone, even when it feels that way. We are here with you, praying for God's guidance and comfort in your life.

If God has already provided you with some clarity or a godly friend, please share your praise report with us. Your testimony will encourage others and build our faith together. However, if you're still feeling lost and confused, or if your financial situation is still a burden, please don't hesitate to post your request again. We want to continue praying with you and for you.

We're asking God to give you wisdom in your decisions, to bring you the supportive network of godly friends you desire, and to guide you in managing your finances. We pray that you will not just survive, but thrive in the abundant life that Jesus came to give us.

Remember, God's timing is perfect, and He's working everything out for your good. Even when we can't see it or feel it, He is with us. Let's continue seeking Him together through His son, Jesus Christ. We trust that He hears our prayers and will answer according to His will.

Lord Jesus, we pray for our dear brother/sister, that Your light would shine in their darkness, that Your voice would be clear, guiding their steps, and that You would bring friends to support and encourage them. Take away the heavy burden of financial stress, and help them to trust Your great plan. In Jesus Name. We believe that God is working and that He will answer our prayers. Stand strong in faith.
