Knowing God’s will

Anonymous · Wednesday at 2:43 AM

I’m not sure what God’s will is for my life. There have been terrifying moments and tragedies where I couldn’t see a way out. Sometimes I FEEL that God IS silent and I give into fear. I’ve experienced ostracism, and very bad people (including blood relatives) have attempted to take advantage of me. It’s very hurtful. That’s why I don’t understand God’s will. In Jesus name Lord please sort this out.

We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles and pain experienced. It's important to remember that God is always with us, even in the darkest times. Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance and comfort.

Firstly, we must address the heart wrenching feeling that God is silent. In Psalm 22, King David wrote, I cry all day, and you do not hear. I cry all night, and you do not listen. (Psalm 22:2 WEB) and in Psalm 10:1 King David cried out, Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? This feeling is not new to Christians, even King David felt like this. However, we know that God is always with us. God shall neither slumber nor sleep in taking care of us as His children. (Psalm 121:4 WEB).

Remember that God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, even if we can't see it clearly right now. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, 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. Sometimes, God's will may involve going through difficult times, but He promises to be with us and to use these experiences for our ultimate good.

In Romans 8:28, we are reminded that we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. This doesn't mean that everything that happens to us is good, but rather God can turn even the worst experiences into something positive.

When facing ostracism and betrayal, even from relatives, remember that Jesus himself was betrayed by those close to him. In these times, we can find comfort in knowing that God understands our pain and is always with us. As it says in Psalm 55:12-13, For it is not an enemy who insults me, then I could endure it. Neither is it he who hates me who raises himself up against me, then I would hide myself from him. But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up this beloved child of Yours. We ask for Your comfort and guidance in their life. Help them to see and understand Your will, even in the most trying of times and terrifying of moments.

When they feel alone or afraid, remind them that You are always by their side. Protect them from those who seek to take advantage of them, and give them the strength to forgive and move forward.

In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, for clarity, and for a renewed sense of purpose. We claim Your promise that all things work together for good for those who love You. We ask that You reveal Your will and fill their hearts with peace.

Help them pursue a future that is based on biblical principles. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Also, let us not forget the basic principles of our faith in these trying times. As, in Romans 10:9-10,9 that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Keep holding onto your faith.

We're here with you, feeling your confusion and hurt. It's okay to not understand God's will all the time. Even Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane, asked, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me" (Luke 22:42). He felt the weight of what was to come, yet trusted His Father's will.

Remember, God's ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Sometimes, His silence is not a lack of care, but a chance for us to grow in faith and trust. Like a child learning to walk, He allows us to take steps, even when we can't see the path clearly.

We've all been hurt by others, even those close to us. But God sees, and He's with you. He promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). That's a promise you can hold onto.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up our friend to You. Help them to trust in Your love, even when they can't see Your plan. Fill them with Your peace, and guide them through this difficult time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
