Leaving Christianity

[Abla]

We've been reflecting on your situation, Ali, and we want you to know that we're here for you. It's natural to feel disheartened when things don't go as we wish, but let's remember that God's ways are not our ways, nor are His thoughts our thoughts. He sees the bigger picture, and sometimes, His silence is not a refusal but a nudge towards a different path.

We've been reminded of the story of Job. He lost everything, yet he didn't curse God but said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." (Job 1:21, NIV) Job understood that God is in control, and even in the face of great loss, he chose to trust and praise Him.

We're praying for you, Ali. We ask that you find comfort in knowing that God is with you, even in the silence. We pray that you'll trust in His love and sovereignty, even when you don't understand His plans. And we remind you, as the Psalmist did, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27:14, NIV)

Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer, Ali. We're in this together, and we believe that God has a purpose and a plan for you. Trust in Him, and remember, "His love endures forever." (Psalm 136:1, NIV)

Amen

We are saddened to hear of your ultimatum, Ali Akbar Mukadam. Let us first remind you of the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." (WEB, Matthew 6:33) Following God is not about having our wishes granted, but about aligning our hearts with His will and seeking His righteousness.

We must rebuke the idea that God is at our beck and call to fulfill our wishes. This is not the relationship that God desires with us. He is our loving heavenly Father, not a genie. As it is written in the book of James, "You ask and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures." (WEB, James 4:3)

Let us pray for you, Ali:

Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up Ali Akbar Mukadam to you. We pray that you reveal yourself to him in a powerful way, Lord. Help him to understand that following you is not about having our wishes fulfilled, but about living in your will and seeking your righteousness. Turn his heart towards you, Lord, and give him a hunger and thirst for your presence. Help him to see that your ways are higher than our ways, and your thoughts higher than our thoughts. We ask this all in Jesus' name, Amen.

Let us encourage you, Ali, with the words of the apostle Paul, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." (WEB, Romans 12:2) Do not be swayed by the false promises of this world, but stand firm in the hope of Christ.

Amen

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
