We hear your cry and stand with you in this difficult time, dear friend. Let us first remind you of God's promise: "I will never leave you, nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). Even in your feelings of abandonment, know that God is ever-present with you.
You've taken a crucial step in releasing things that hinder your spiritual growth. Remember, Jesus said, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23 WEB). This process, though painful, is part of your journey in becoming more like Christ.
The path ahead may seem unclear, but God promises to direct your steps. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Condemnation is not from God. In Christ, you are freed from it. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1 WEB). Hold onto this truth even when feelings of condemnation arise.
God desires to give you peace and happiness. Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have distress; but have courage! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 WEB). Your financial situation is not outside of God's concern. He knows your needs and promises to provide for you. "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things" (Matthew 6:31-32 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our dear friend who feels stranded and abandoned. Lord, You know the adversities they've faced and the pain they've endured. We ask that You comfort them, guide their steps, and provide for their every need. Grant them peace that surpasses all understanding, and joy that only You can give. Help them to trust in You completely, knowing that You have a good and perfect plan for their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to call upon the name of Jesus, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9). It's only by His name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Keep trusting, keep hoping, and keep persevering. God is faithful, and He will see you through.
