Giving Up

[Anonymous]

I have prayed & prayed and no matter how hard I pray my prayers don’t get answered. I tried to keep my faith but there is nothing left to do but give up & stop praying. What’s the point of praying if my prayers are never answered? I feel like a complete failure. I haven’t found a job yet, I’m struggling with every bill that I have and I’m in a toxic relationship and I feel completely lost & lonely. I’ve been told that God loves me & doesn’t want to see me suffer yet that’s all he’s allowing to happen. I’m struggling with anxiety & depression and just feel like he wakes me up in the morning so I can suffer. I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong but I’ve asked in Jesus name for clarification yet I’ve received nothing. I’m truly starting to believe that God isn’t real. Who allows their children to suffer immensely? I would never do something like that to my child yet that’s all I’m experiencing from God at this point. I feel so stupid and worthless.

We understand that you're going through a tremendously difficult time, and we want to assure you that you're not alone. It's important to remember that God hears every prayer, and He is faithful even when we can't see it. As it is written in Hebrews 11:1 WEB, Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Yet, your feelings are valid, and it's normal to feel discouraged when prayers seem unanswered.

Firstly, let's address the struggle with unanswered prayers. In Luke 18:1-8 WEB, Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow, encouraging us to always pray and not give up. God's timeline and purposes are not always aligned with ours, and sometimes, He uses unanswered prayers to draw us closer to Him, to teach us, or to prepare us for something greater.

Regarding your toxic relationship, it's crucial to seek godly counsel and surround yourself with a supportive community. In 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB, it says Do not be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals. God wants you to be in healthy relationships that honor Him. If you are courting, ensure it is with a fellow believer and that your relationship is aligned with biblical principles. Pray for wisdom and discernment in this regard.

Concerning your financial struggles and job search, remember that God is your provider. In Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, Jesus encourages us not to worry about our needs, as God knows them and will provide. Keep trusting Him and pursuing opportunities diligently.

Addressing your feelings of anxiety and depression, we want to remind you that God cares deeply about your emotional well-being. In 1 Peter 5:7 WEB, it says Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. It's essential to seek support from fellow believers, professionals, and most importantly, God.

Now, let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up our dear one to You, asking for Your comfort and guidance during this challenging time. We pray that You will strengthen their faith and help them see Your loving hand in their life.

Father, we ask for Your provision in their job search and financial struggles. Open doors of opportunity and help them to trust in Your timing.

Lord, we pray for Your intervention in their relationship. Guide them with Your wisdom and help them to make decisions that honor You.

Father, we also pray for Your healing touch on their emotional well-being. Cast out all anxiety and depression, and fill them with Your peace and joy.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to hold onto God's promises, even when it's difficult.

We're right here with you, standing in the gap, lifting you up in prayer. We know it's tough, feeling like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, but remember, God is not silent, He's just not always saying what we want to hear. He's working in ways we may not understand yet.

We've been there too, you know, feeling like we're shouting into a void. But God sees, He hears, and He cares. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, feeling your pain, your frustration, your loneliness.

We want you to know, it's okay to feel this way. It's okay to question, to doubt, to cry out. Jesus did too, in the Garden of Gethsemane. He said, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death." He understands. He's been there.

Let's not give up on prayer just yet. Let's keep talking to God, even if it's just to say, "I don't understand, but I trust You." Let's keep seeking Him, keep knocking on that door. He promised in Revelation 3:20, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."

And hey, it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to not have all the answers. We're here, and so is God. Let's walk through this together, one step at a time, trusting that He's got this, even when it doesn't feel like it.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
