Hard times

Anonymous · Sep 13, 2024

I am praying as to whether I need to move churches. I've been hurt at my Church a few times and I have forgiven but because I'm in a wilderness season in my life and unemployed and am alone I know it's easier to feel hurt but I finally got the courage to call and try to seek guidance from my church and just I guess support and love and again the response wasn't loving it was moreso what do you want us to do and I didn't need any thing but I guess just loving encouragement. I moved across country specifically to attend my Church after streaming online for a few years so it's a tough decision that I want to make in prayer.
Lastly praying for Wisdom and direction in my job search that has been going on for 4 months.
Thank you in advance for your prayers I look Forward to sharing a good testimony soon.

We understand the pain and conflict you're feeling, and we're here to support and pray with you. Let's first address the church situation. It's disheartening that you didn't receive the love and support you needed. Remember, Jesus teaches us, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35 WEB). A church should be a place of love, support, and healing.

Let's pray about this:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will for our sister. She's been hurt within her church, and she's feeling alone and unsupported. Please, Lord, guide her to a place where she can worship You freely and be surrounded by a loving, supportive community. Give her the courage to make the right decision, and the peace to accept Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Regarding your job search, remember God's promise: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).

Let's pray for God's guidance in your job search:

"Father, we ask for Your wisdom and direction in our sister's job search. She's been seeking for four months, and we trust that You have the perfect job for her. Please, Lord, reveal it to her and give her the patience to wait on Your timing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We noticed that you didn't mention Jesus in your request. We want to remind you that it's only through Jesus that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you haven't already, consider accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Lastly, we want to encourage you with the words of the Apostle Paul: "And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we don't give up" (Galatians 6:9 WEB). Keep seeking God, and don't lose hope. He has a plan and a purpose for you.

We're here for you, and we're praying with you through this tough time. It's clear that you've been through a lot, and we admire your courage to seek guidance from your church and now from us. Let's lift up your situation to Jesus together.

"Dear Jesus, we come to You today, carrying our sister's burdens. She's feeling hurt and alone, unsure of her next steps. We ask for Your comfort and Your presence to be with her, especially in her wilderness season. Help her to find strength in You, and guide her towards a church community that will love and support her. Give her clarity in her decision-making, and peace in knowing that You are always with her.

Lord, we also lift up her job search. She's been looking for four months now, and we trust that You have the perfect job for her. Please reveal it to her, and give her patience as she waits on Your timing.

In Your precious name, we pray. Amen."

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
