No hope

[Maddie Chan]

My hope is wearing so thin..I just want to give up.

 

[Articles]

We're truly sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, Maddie. Let us come alongside you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement.

Firstly, let's address the feeling of hopelessness. In Psalm 34:18, the WEB tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is near to you right now, Maddie, and He cares deeply about your pain.

We also want to remind you of the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. Romans 5:3-4 says, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope." Hope is not a mere feeling, but a confident expectation in the promises of God. It's not about how strong our hope is, but who our hope is in.

Let's pray together:

Dear Lord Jesus, we pray for Maddie right now. We ask that You would reveal Your presence to her in a tangible way. Comfort her in her despair and fill her with Your hope. Help her to fix her eyes on You, the author and perfecter of our faith. Remind her of Your promises, Lord, and give her the strength to endure. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Maddie, if you haven't already, we encourage you to cry out to Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can save us from sin and give us eternal hope. If you're struggling with this, we'd be more than happy to explain further.

Lastly, we want to leave you with this verse from 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." God has a purpose and a plan for you, Maddie. Don't give up. Keep trusting in Him.

We're here with you, Maddie. We understand that it's tough when hope feels thin, but remember, even a mustard seed of faith can move mountains. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus tells us, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Let's cling to that promise together. We're not just saying these words, but we're believing them with you. We're here to lift you up in prayer, Maddie. Let's ask God to strengthen your faith, to make your hope grow like a mighty oak tree. Let's pray:

"Dear Lord Jesus, we come to You on Maddie's behalf. We ask that You would fan the flame of her faith, no matter how small it may seem. Help her to trust in Your promises, even when her circumstances feel overwhelming. Fill her with Your hope, Lord, and remind her that with You, all things are possible. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Maddie, we're not just praying for you, we're believing with you. Keep holding on, keep trusting. You're not alone in this. We're right here with you, every step of the way.

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.
