Patricia, we understand the heaviness of your heart and the struggles you're facing. We want to assure you that God hears your prayers and has a purpose in every season of our lives.
Firstly, we want to remind you of God's promise in 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 when it feels like our prayers go unanswered, God is working behind the scenes for our ultimate good.
Regarding your financial struggles, we encourage you to hold onto God's word in Philippians 4:19 (WEB), "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." God knows your needs, and He will provide in His timing.
However, we also want to address your feelings of being overlooked and turned down. In Psalm 147:3 (WEB), it says, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." Sometimes, God allows trials to bring us closer to Him and to shape our character. It's important to remember that God sees your heart and your efforts to put others first.
We also want to gently remind you that God is not a genie who grants wishes, but a loving Father who wants a relationship with you. In James 4:3 (WEB), it says, "You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures." Make sure your prayers align with God's will and not just your own desires.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up Patricia to You. We ask that You strengthen her faith and help her to trust in Your timing. Please open the doors for financial blessings, according to Your will. Help her to see that You are working in her life, even when it feels like her prayers go unanswered. Comfort her heart and heal her wounds. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, Patricia, we noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your prayer request. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus and invite Him into your life.
