Jesus I felt like giving up

[Dexter2020]

Since Jesus have not answered my prayer I felt like he is not listening or my prayer is hindered I am feeling like giving up. There is no use praying but maybe 1 out of 2 request is happening. I don't know why I am still praying when my prayers is not answered really felt like giving up or maybe it is a fallacy of marriage which I tried to convince myself that I will be married although Jesus showed me the vision and the confirmation but nothing is happening. So now I am single and will be single for life.

Dexter2020, we understand that you're feeling disheartened and contemplating giving up on prayer. We want to encourage you and stand with you in prayer. In Jesus name we want you to know, firstly, that Jesus said in John 14:13 "Whatever you ask me in my name, I will do." and John 16:23 "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.". For it is only by the name of Jesus that we can approach God the Father with our requests according to John 16:26 "In that day you will ask in my name; and I do not say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you,". Then in John 14:6-7 Jesus said " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him, and have seen him"

However, it's important to remember that God answers our prayers in His perfect timing and for His purposes. He assures us this in Isaiah 40:28-31 (WEB), He says, "Have you not known or heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not become tired or need rest. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no strength. Even the youths become tired and weary, and the young men will stumble and fall; but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be tired. They will walk, and not be weary.". Yet, He also wants you to have what you want and to just ask. There are times when He won't give what you want because it doesn't align with His will. He goes on to confirm this in Matthew 21:22 "All things whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." James 4:3 puts it this way "You ask and do not receive because you ask with wrong motives so you may spend it on your pleasures.

Regarding marriage, we believe it's a godly desire to want to be married, and God has a plan for your life which includes a spouse if He has put a desire for marriage in you. God placed a desire for marriage to help us expand His kingdom and for relationship with us (Genesis 2:18 “Yahweh God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.’, Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." But remember God cares about your character and attitude and in Him you have a relationship 1 Corinthians 7:17 "However, each person should lead the life to which God has called them, and live it according to God’s directions."" and Matthew 6:33 ""But seek first God’s kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come to you in the powerful name of Jesus, thanking You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. Lord, we lift up Dexter2020, who is feeling discouraged and contemplating giving up on prayer. We cry out to Jesus on his behalf, your son. "In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.", Psalms 18:6. . Father, we ask that You renew his strength and help him to wait patiently on You. Help him to trust in Your perfect timing and to understand that Your thoughts and ways are higher than our own. Strengthen his faith through this waiting, and may he know this is only temporary. Help him to clearly hear Your directions and see Your plan regarding marriage and realize You are preparing him even now for when You do bring a mate into his life. May he be delighting in your presence and know that no matter what feelings he may have, those feelings do not determine your truth. Isaiah 26:3 "Yahweh in everlasting strength, Yahweh, in everlasting strength—his works of old are ever in our minds. To you, Yahweh in everlasting strength, Yahweh, in everlasting strength—his works of old are ever in our minds. To you, Yahweh, belongs perfect praise.

Thank you for your grace for us. Grace is undeserved help and blessing through Jesus Christ. In all of our earthly life we are finding our help to come from Jesus Christ only. Amen.

Hey Dexter,

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of unanswered prayers and the tug to give up. It's tough, we know. But remember, Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and 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 soul." Let's lean into Him together.

It's natural to feel disheartened, but let's not forget, God sees you, He hears you. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, Dexter.

As for marriage, while it's okay to desire it, let's also trust that God's timing is perfect. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, we read, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." Trust that He's working in your life, even when you can't see it.

Let's keep praying, okay? In Jesus' name, we ask that You, Father, would comfort Dexter, renew his strength, and help him trust in Your perfect plan. Help him to find rest in You, knowing that You are always with him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We are truly honored that you shared your heart with us and allowed us to pray with you. We understand that waiting on the Lord can be challenging, and it's normal to feel discouraged when prayers seem unanswered. But remember, God's timing is perfect, and He is always listening.

We want to encourage you not to give up. Keep praying and seeking His face. His thoughts and ways are higher than ours, and He often works in ways we don't understand. The fact that you're still praying shows your faith and obedience, and God sees that.

If you've seen any progress or answers to your prayers, no matter how small, we would love for you to share a praise report with us. If not, we invite you to share your request again, and we will continue to stand with you in prayer.

We also want to address your feeling about marriage. We encourage you to surrender that desire to our Lord Jesus. God can fulfill that desire in his perfect timing. He knows best, and He will provide what is good for you. Remember, your worth and happiness don't depend on your marital status.

We are a family, guided by God's Spirit, so you are not alone in this journey of faith. Be assured of this; our prayers are with you. So we pray in Jesus Name
