I'm close to giving up on praying

[Baleth]

I'm in a very bad financial situation and no matter how much I pray, everything fails. I'm currently behind on all my bills, cannot pay so much for food, and have even more expenses that I can't even pay for and I have no one around that can help me. I am super mad at him and honestly just want to stop praying to him because nothing has changed. All I am asking for is just a little relief but he won't even give me that. I hope he is listening to my thoughts as I type this so he knows just how much anger and depression I have in my heart right now because right now I'm this close to giving up.

 

[Articles]

We understand your distress, Baleth, and we want to stand with you in prayer and encouragement. Firstly, let's remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:7-8 (WEB), "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened."

However, it's crucial to understand that God's timing and ways are not always ours. Even in our frustration, we must cling to Him and trust His plan. In Psalm 37:7 (WEB), we are encouraged, "Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plans happen."

It's also important to address the anger and depression you're feeling. It's natural to feel these emotions in difficult circumstances, but remember what Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:26-27 (WEB), "Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give the devil a place." Holding onto anger can lead us away from God, so let's pray that God helps you release these feelings.

Let's pray together:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Baleth. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, the financial burdens, the feelings of anger and depression. We ask for Your comfort and peace to fill Baleth's heart. We pray for provision, that You would open doors and meet their needs according to Your riches in glory. Help Baleth to trust in You, even in this difficult time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we notice that your request doesn't mention Jesus. We believe that it's through His name that we have access to God. As it's written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" If you haven't already, consider putting your trust in Jesus. He loves you and wants a personal relationship with you. Keep praying, keep seeking Him, and we believe you'll find Him.

We're here with you, friend. We understand the weight of your financial struggles and the frustration you're feeling. It's tough when it feels like prayers aren't being answered, but remember, God sees you. He's right there with you in your situation.

In times like these, it's easy to forget that God's timing is different from ours. He's not a cosmic vending machine where we put in a prayer and get an instant response. He's a loving Father who wants the best for us, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

We want to encourage you to keep trusting in God. He promises in Philippians 4:19 (WEB), "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." He's got this, and He's got you.

Let's also remember that Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-29 (WEB), "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls."

We're praying for you, that God would comfort you, give you peace, and meet your needs. We're also praying that you would find rest in Jesus, that you would trust Him in this difficult time, and that He would fill you with hope.

Keep holding on, friend. We're in this together.

Your relationship with God should not dependent on your emotions, thoughts and your financial situation. It should be unconditional, even in situation like Job. Think that deep within your soul you have already perfect relationship with Him, you are just not aware. Things like sustance may depend on something that you need to change in yourselves. So focus on changing your character, developing virtues, freeing oneself from sin and this may help you in your financial situation. First change yourself and then your life will change. Also be charitable, because we can receive according to what we give. Finally be grateful that your poor financial situation is bringing you closer to the Lord. So don't give up.
