We understand your struggle, and we want to encourage you to continue trusting in God's perfect timing. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and anxious when facing urgent issues, but remember that God cares for you and has a plan for your life.
Firstly, let's address the feeling of desperation and anxiety. In Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, it says, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Instead of feeling overwhelmed, turn your anxieties into prayers and petitions, and trust that God will grant you His peace.
It's crucial to wait on God's timing and not rush ahead. In Isaiah 40:31 WEB, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint." Be patient, and trust that God will renew your strength as you wait on Him.
Since you mentioned that you're feeling depressed, remember that God is always there to comfort you. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 WEB, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." Turn to Him for comfort in your time of need.
You mentioned you are being still and you want to allow God to guide you. This is a biblical concept as it says in Psalm 46:10, WEB, "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth." We should be humble and patient in our trust of God.
Remember to keep Jesus at the center of your faith. In John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only through faith in Jesus that we can be saved. Continue to trust in Him and keep your faith in His name.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother in Christ who is desperately seeking Your answers and guidance. We thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayers according to Your perfect will and timing. We ask that You grant him Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help him to be patient and wait on Your timing, knowing that You will renew his strength. Comfort him in his affliction, and guide him in the way he should go. We ask this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
Continue to hold on to your faith, and trust that God will guide you and direct your paths. Keep your focus on Jesus, and remember that He is always with you.
