Blessings1964, we hear the cry of your heart and we want to assure you that God's love for you is unfailing. Even when our faith falters, His love remains steadfast. As it is written in Romans 8:38-39 (WEB), "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
First, let's address the concern about not attending church. The fellowship of believers is crucial for our spiritual growth and encouragement. Hebrews 10:25 (WEB) reminds us, "not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching." We encourage you to seek out a community of believers where you can find support and grow in your faith.
Regarding your loss of faith and dwindling hope, remember that faith is not about our feelings but about trusting in God's promises. Even in our darkest moments, God is faithful. As Lamentations 3:22-23 (WEB) says, "It is of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up Blessings1964. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Your love to them in a powerful way. Restore their faith and hope in You. Guide them back to a community of believers where they can grow and be encouraged. Help them to trust in Your promises, even when they cannot see or feel Your presence. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is through His name that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) states, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus in your prayers, as He is the mediator between God and man.
