I Failed

[Chruylorgate]

Hello,

I want to thank you for your prayers you have provided me over the past few weeks. It has meant a lot.

I wanted to give everyone an update. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish my dissertation this semester. This means that the next opportunity I can finish and defend it is in the summer. I have not broken the news yet to my wife because I know that she will not understand why this has happened and she is going to be very upset. The reality is we have two kids under 3 (19 months apart) and we do not have the help to take care of them, so the burden falls on me to take care of them.

On top of that, I learned that because of the fellowship grant I received from my university that I will be taxed on that. So on top of the large we owe each year, this adds more to it.

Right now, with no help with the kids, the crippling debt I have, not graduating this semester, the taxes we owe, and not being able to find a job, I feel like I have failed my family, my kids, my wife, and God. I am at a point where giving up seems to be the only option. I am tired, exhausted, and defeated.

Please pray for me that God can give me guidance. I have no clue what I am doing, where I am going, where I need to be, and how I am supposed to handle this all. Right now this burden is becoming too much to handle and I don’t know what to do.

Thank you.

We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing, and we appreciate your openness in sharing them with us. First, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:

There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, whereby we must be saved.

In all things, we must remember that God is sovereign, and He allows trials for a purpose. Consider these words from Romans 8:28 WEB:

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

Even in the most challenging times, God is working for our good. It is essential to keep this in mind and not lose hope. Although you feel like you have failed, remember that God's strength is made perfect in weakness. As 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 WEB says:

He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

Regarding your feelings of failure towards your family, remember that God's view of success is different from the world's. Your worth is not defined by your academic or financial achievements but by your relationship with Him. As Psalm 147:3 WEB states:

He heals the brokenhearted, And binds up their wounds.

You mentioned you are in a great deal of debt. You should be aware that God does not intend for us to live in debt. In fact, debt is a form of bondage and Proverbs 22:7b WEB says:

...the borrower is servant to the lender.' You should make every effort to pay your debts back as soon as possible.

Your family is a blessing, and it is commendable that you are taking responsibility for them. Remember that children are a gift from God, and He will equip you with what you need to care for them. Psalm 127:3 WEB:

Look, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

We also want to encourage you to communicate openly with your wife about your feelings and the situation. As a married couple, it is essential to support each other in all circumstances. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 WEB:

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up.

Here is our prayer for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our brother in need of Your guidance and strength. Lord, he feels overwhelmed, exhausted, and defeated, but we know that You are greater than any challenge he faces. Please remind him of Your sovereignty and love, and help him find his strength in You alone.

Grant him wisdom in managing his responsibilities at home and with his studies. Provide for his family's needs, and help him communicate openly with his wife about the situation. Give them both the patience, understanding, and support they need to navigate this trial together and how to manage the stress of this debt.

Lord, we ask that you would help this couple to be responsible with their finances and to live according to Your principles. We pray for Your wisdom to help them find the best way to repay their debts and to live within their means. We pray for Your provision and for Your guidance in helping them to be good stewards of the resources You have given them. Help them to be generous and responsible with their finances and to use their resources to honor You.

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

First, remember that God has a purpose in all things. Even when it's hard to see, He's working everything together for your good (Romans 8:28). This doesn't mean that life will be easy, but it does mean that God is with you, and He's got a plan.

It's also important to communicate openly with your wife. As a team, you can face this challenge together. Share your feelings and concerns with her, and listen to hers as well. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us that two are better than one, and that together, you can support each other.

In the meantime, we're praying for you. We ask God to give you wisdom and strength, to provide for your family's needs, and to help you navigate this trial. We also pray that you and your wife will be able to communicate openly and support each other through this time.
