So many things

[Hermira]

Hello everyone,

My name is Lucy. I just wanted to share some things that have been going on for me. I'm trying so hard to pray and some days I just can't and don't know why. At the same time, I need to because when I do pray, I feel better about life and its very important. Currently I'm struggling on my own with the following. I had to change my job, career, and employer because my previous job made me sick. This came with a pay cut and then I got a huge rental increase. I still haven't fully recovered, and it has been 3 months already. My finances are a mess. I'm trying to come to the realisation that I will never own a home again that I could leave to my children. Due to divorce my ex-husband got our house. In my new job there's a few things not quite right - unrealistic demands, feeling pressured, overlooking staff members that are always trying hard, mix messages and so on. My youngest child has additional needs and is struggling with just about everything. I feel like I exist but I'm not living if that makes sense. Also, I returned to church recently and someone asked me if my boyfriend was a Christian. He says he believes in God and has been to church with me twice. Other than this I don't know what to do about it this relationship. As it is we live 3000kms apart and neither of us can move. We see each other every 6-7 weeks currently. I don't want to cry every other day anymore because I'm overwhelmed and anxious. Thank you for praying for a stranger and God Bless You.

Hermira, we understand that you're going through a multitude of challenges right now, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.

Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that God wants us to cast all our anxieties on Him, because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). It's okay to have days when you feel like you can't pray. Remember, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groans that words can't express (Romans 8:26 WEB). Keep pushing through, and remember that prayer is your lifeline to God. Prayer is making request known to God. You may not see change but you can see the hand of God behind it.

Regarding your financial situation, remember that God is our provider. He promises to supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). He knows your struggles, and He cares about every detail of your life. (1 Peter 5:7). It is not much to God. We should have joy and be thankful even in little. Be content therefore with having food and being clothed and a roof over your head.

In your new job, continue to work diligently as unto the Lord, not to men (Colossians 3:23 WEB). God sees your hard work and He will reward you in due time.

He does not overlook your situation with your children. Children are a gift from the Lord. Bring your concerns to Him. They feel like they are part of your living. In all your ways submit to Him. He will make straight paths for you.

Regarding your relationship, we want to remind you of the importance of being equally yoked with a believer (2 Corinthians 6:14-17 WEB). It is unclear whether your boyfriend is a Christian. You mentioned he believes in God but has only been to church with you twice.

It seems you have not committed fornication or adultery, but the only relationship God sanctions is heterosexual marriage. He loves us all but requires we behave certain ways.

We urge you to pray for discernment and guidance in this relationship. Seek someone walking with God. God's design for relationships is clear, and we should not stray from His path. It is a lifelong commitment.

We are still not sure if you have faith in Jesus Christ. You did not specifically mention the name of Jesus. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.

Please pray this prayer with us:

"Father, we lift up Lucy to You, asking for Your comfort, provision, guidance, and discernment in every area of her life. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You. Finances, children, caregiver and everything are worrying her. God, you knew us before you formed us in the womb. Speak life into her.

We pray in Jesus' name. Amen."

Hey Lucy,

We've been thinking about you and wanted to reach out again. We know life's been tough, but we're here for you. We're not sure if you've had a chance to rest or take a break, but remember, it's okay to take care of yourself too. God sees your efforts and He's right there with you.

We understand that finances can be a big worry, but remember, God is our provider. He knows your needs and He's got this. Keep trusting Him, even in the little things. He promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

We also want to encourage you about your job. Keep working diligently, as if you're working for the Lord, not for men (Colossians 3:23). God sees your hard work and He will reward you in due time.

As for your relationship, we understand it's tough being apart. But remember, God's design for relationships is clear, and we should strive to follow His path. Seek someone who walks with God for advice. It's okay to take things slow and make sure you're both on the same page spiritually.

Lastly, we want to remind you that it's okay to not be okay all the time. It's okay to have those days where you feel like you can't pray. Just know that God is always there, and He understands. He cares for you deeply.

Keep trusting, keep praying, and remember, you're not alone. We're here for you, and so is God. Keep fighting, Lucy. You're stronger than you think.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you kindly for your prayer. You reminded me about so many things that I'm going to capture your message and prayer and hope I never forget it. My son has mild autism. I know why he has it, and I already cried a lot about it. That's a good point you raised about my boyfriend. He said he believes in God but now that I think about it, I don't think he is a Christain. I haven't asked and I should have instead of assuming he was just because he said he believes in God - it's not the same thing. I understand about heterosexual as it is written in the Bible. In my new workplace there's a lot of people that are the opposite and so many that identify differently and it's very sad to see. I'm so confused about my work situation because when I left my previous job management were very unhappy that I worry about any future references should I return to education in the future. I believe in Jesus and have done for most of my life, but I often wonder where is.

We continue to lift you up in prayer, Lucy, feeling honored that you have shared your burdens with us. We are steadfast in our commitment to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If God has answered any part of your prayer - perhaps through a sense of peace, a new opportunity, or a change in circumstances - we would love for you to share that with us as a praise report.

If, however, you feel that your request has not yet been answered, we encourage you to post it again as a new request. We want to continue praying with you, especially during these challenging times you've shared about. We want to remember your specific needs: the stress of your new job, your financial struggles, your child's challenges, your relationship, and your spiritual growth. We want to ensure you feel supported by a larger Christian community. God promises us that when two or three gather in His name, He is there with us (Matthew 18:20).

We are praying for your faith to be strengthened, for God's peace to fill your heart, and for His divine guidance in every area of your life. May God bless you richly as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We pray in Jesus Name.
