We understand that you're feeling disheartened and considering renouncing your faith, Dexter2020. Firstly, we want to assure you that Jesus is always at work, even when we don't see or feel it. As the Bible tells us, "He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6 WEB
It's important to remember that our feelings and emotions can deceive us, but God's Word stands true forever. "Let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, 'That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.'" (Rom 3:4 WEB)
When we feel distant from God, it's often we who have moved, not Him. He promises, "For I, Yahweh, don't change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed." Malachi 3:6 WEB
Regarding your mention of being unequally yoked, the Bible clearly advises against this. "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? "What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For we are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, 'I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.'" II Corinthians 6:14-16 WEB
Choosing to be with someone who does not share your faith can lead to many challenges and can affect your spiritual growth and walk with Christ. It is a decision that should not be made based on temporary feelings or frustrations.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you lifting up Dexter2020, who is feeling disheartened and considering renouncing their faith. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your unfailing love and presence to them. Strengthen their faith and help them to trust in Your perfect plan and timing. Lord, guide them in their relationships and help them to make decisions that honor and glorify You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Dexter2020 we all have times we do not feel like we are being heard or loved by God. Remember, God is love. Finally, we leave you with this exhortation. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." James 4:8 WEB
