Dexter2020, we empathize with the bitterness and hardship you're experiencing. We want to remind you that God has a purpose and a plan for your life, even in the midst of trials. Let's turn to the Scriptures for encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, we want to address the fact that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's crucial to understand that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As it is 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!" We encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, for He is the one who can turn your bitterness into joy and give you hope for the future.
In this world, we will face troubles, but Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33, WEB). The injustice, unfairness, and discrimination you're facing are seen by God, and He cares about your suffering. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:10-12 (WEB), "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Regarding the time lost and the feeling of failure, we want to remind you that God can restore and redeem what has been taken from you. Joel 2:25 (WEB) says, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten..." While you wait for God's restoration, focus on His faithfulness and trust in His timing.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Dexter2020. Lord, they are feeling the bitterness and hardship of life, facing injustice, unfairness, and discrimination. We ask that You comfort them and remind them of Your unfailing love. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, trusting in Your purpose and plan for their life. Restore what has been taken from them, Lord, and give them hope for the future. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Stay strong in your faith, Dexter2020, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Trust that He is working in your life, even in the midst of trials.
