We welcome you to our community and are grateful that you've reached out to us in your feelings of spiritual emptiness and disconnection from God. It's important to remember that God is always there for us, even when we feel distant from Him. As it is written in the World English Bible (WEB), "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." (James 4:8)
In your prayer request, we notice that you've used the name YAHWEH to refer to God. While we understand that you may be using this name out of respect or cultural background, we believe that it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved and reconciled to God. As the Bible tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12) Therefore, we encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus Christ in your prayers, as it is through Him that we have access to God.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who feels spiritually empty and disconnected from You. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your presence to them and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Help them to draw near to You, knowing that as they do, You will draw near to them.
Lord Jesus, we acknowledge that You are the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father except through You. We pray that our brother/sister will come to know You more deeply and experience the redemption and restoration that only You can provide.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God's Word, the Bible, and in prayer, seeking His face. As you do, trust that He will draw near to you and fill you with His peace and joy. If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we invite you to do so, for it is through Him that we are saved and reconciled to God.
