Jonathan, we understand that you are feeling unloved and overlooked by God, and you may act out of frustration with your circumstances. First, we want to assure you that God loves you deeply and has a purpose for your life. In Jeremiah 29:11 WEB, God says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
In times of distress, it is essential to remember that God is always with you, and He cares for you. In 1 Peter 5:7 WEB, we are encouraged to, ...casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Regarding acting out of frustration, we must remember that God's wisdom is what will guide us through difficult times, not our emotions. In Proverbs 14:17 WEB, it is written, He who is hasty of spirit exalts folly, which translates to impatience shall bring forth shame, not satisfaction. Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. (James 1:19)
We are instructed in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB
Don't be anxious for anything; but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Jonathan to you, asking that you pour out your love and peace upon him. Help him to feel your presence and to know that he is never overlooked or forgotten by you. Grant him the wisdom and patience to endure his struggles without acting out of frustration or his own understanding for you said to lean not to his our own understanding. Make clear and real to him your love, care, mercy, and grace. May he be healed and restored in your full acceptance, grace, mercy, and peace. Fill him with your Holy Spirit, calming his heart and providing the wisdom he needs to navigate his circumstances and for the future you have for him. We pray that you reveal yourself as the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Show Jonathan that you are the father he needs for all his life and even after this life. We ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Be encouraged, Jonathan. God hears your prayers, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this difficult time in love, grace, and peace. Make a deal with Jonathan, that we are only mere humans and are not to be worshipped but if we become the instrument for positive change in his life we will glorify God together in rejoicing. It will be a legacy to tell the story if we can live to tell how God sent the prayer group as an answer to his prayer and see how far God has brought him.
