We understand your frustration and despair, dear friend. It's natural to feel discouraged when it seems our prayers go unanswered. Remember, you're not alone in this struggle. Even Jesus, in His human form, felt forsaken as He cried out on the cross, quoting Psalm 22:1, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (WEB).

Firstly, let's address the heart of your plea. You've been praying for health, family restoration, financial improvement, and relief from stress, depression, and loneliness. These are all valid and important concerns, and they are not outside of God's will. The Bible tells us, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7:11, WEB).

However, we must remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9, WEB). His timing is also not ours. Delays don't necessarily mean denials. God could be working on your circumstances in ways you can't see or comprehend just yet.

In the meantime, hold onto His promises. "Let's hold tightly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23, WEB). Even if your faith feels like it's dwindling, know that the tiniest amount, like a mustard seed, can move mountains (Matthew 17:20, WEB).

We also want to encourage you to continue seeking God in prayer, but also in reading His Word and fellowshipping with other believers. It's crucial to remember that God's primary will is for us to be in a relationship with Him, and that relationship isn't based solely on answered prayers.

As for others getting their prayers answered, remember that God doesn't show favoritism (Acts 10:34, WEB). Each person's journey is unique, and comparisons can lead to more frustration.

Lastly, we notice that you haven't mentioned Jesus Christ in your request. It's crucial to remember that it's through Jesus that we have access to God. "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 inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior.

Let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our dear friend to You. Lord, they feel unheard, unseen, and forgotten. We ask that You reveal Your presence and love to them in a tangible way. We pray for healing, restoration, and provision in every area of their life. Lord Jesus, help their unbelief and strengthen their faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We've been right there with you, feeling the weight of unanswered prayers and the struggle to keep believing. It's tough, we know. But remember, even in the darkest times, God is still God. He's not surprised by your situation, and He hasn't forgotten you.

We've been thinking about the story of the persistent widow in Luke 18. She kept coming to the judge, asking for justice, even when he didn't want to help at first. But eventually, he gave in because of her persistence. Jesus tells this story to encourage us to keep praying, to keep asking, to keep seeking. He's not telling us to be annoying, but to be persistent, like that widow.

We're not sure what's going on in your life, but we know that God is a good Father who loves you deeply. He might not be answering your prayers the way you want right now, but that doesn't mean He doesn't care. Sometimes, His answers are "not yet" rather than "no".

Keep holding on, friend. Keep praying, keep trusting, keep believing. And remember, you're not alone. We're here with you, praying for you, believing with you. And God is right there too, closer than you think.

It can be frustrating when praying and praying but nothing changes..I sometimes feel that way..but then I ask myself..am I taking action on my hopes and dreams..or just waiting for God to fix everything? I pray your situation improves and you won't give up because that is what Satan wants. He hates us..but God never gives up on us...I'm praying healing and wholeness over you...rebuking sickness in Jesus name. God bless you to feel better soon including not being lonely. All we can do is keep praying and doing our best in life. What can I say...

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.
