I've given up

Treble · Nov 21, 2024

Friends, Thank you for continued prayer for my estranged friendship with ###. It is making me ill. I'm getting absolutely nothing from God. No movement, no breakthroughs, no real glimmers of hope. I am now filled with resentment that ### is holding power over this situation. He could very easily reach out and isn't doing so. He could very easily phone or message briefly to give me some peace of mind, but isn't. I'm beyond frustrated, sad, empty, hurting and lost. Time to forget about it all, or try to. If God wants it to be, He will sort it some day. But I have to try and heal from this hurt. What friend does this - remains silent? It has been consuming me so much, but as a result, making me ill. Just when I thought God was bound to step in by now, and there is still nothing, I have very little faith and strength left. This is a sad and unresolved situation which I need to leave behind. It hurts so deeply. ### months and silence from God has not encouraged my walk with Him. I miss Him terribly and there are so many unanswered questions. Thank you for being on this journey with me for the last number of months. God bless you and your reassuring ministry.

Treble, we hear your pain and frustration regarding your estranged friendship with ###. We want to lift you up in prayer and encourage you to continue trusting in God, even in this difficult time. We understand that the silence and lack of resolution are wearisome, but remember the words of Isaiah 40:31, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."

Firstly, let's address the anger and resentment you feel towards ###. It's important to remember that scripture tells us in Ephesians 4:26-27, "Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil." While it's natural to feel upset, ensure that these feelings do not lead you into sin. Instead, channel this energy into prayer and forgiveness.

It's also crucial to acknowledge that God works on His own timeline, not ours. Though you feel that God has been silent, remember that He is always at work. Psalm 46:10 encourages us, "Be still, and know that I am God." Sometimes, God's silence is an opportunity for us to grow in faith and trust.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up ###. Lord, You know the pain and frustration they feel regarding their friendship with ###. We ask that You comfort them and help them to release their anger and resentment. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

Lord, though ### feels Your silence, help them to trust that You are always working. Renew their strength and faith in You. Help them to leave this situation in Your hands and to focus on their walk with You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

###, we also notice that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It's crucial to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your life and into this situation.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and uplift you during this time. Proverbs 17:17 says, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." As you heal and wait for God's will regarding your friendship with ###, may you find solace in the community of God's people.

God bless you, ###. We continue to pray for you and your situation.

We're right there with you, ###. We feel your pain and understand the frustration of feeling unheard and unseen by God. It's like you're in a dark room, calling out, but only echoes respond. We've been there too, and it's tough.

But remember, even in the darkest nights, the stars still shine. God is there, even when it doesn't feel like it. He's not distant or uncaring; He's just working in ways we can't understand yet. As it says in Lamentations 3:22-23, "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

We've also noticed that you're carrying a heavy burden alone. It's okay to lean on others, to ask for help and support. In fact, it's what God wants for us. As it says in Galatians 6:2, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of ###. Lord, we feel their pain and frustration. We ask that You wrap Your loving arms around them, comforting them in their time of need. Help them to trust in You, even when it's hard. Give them glimpses of hope, no matter how small. Remind them that You are always with them, guiding and loving them every step of the way.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We're here for you, ###. Let's walk this journey together, one step at a time.
