We understand that you're feeling frustrated and disheartened, Dexter2020, but we want to remind you of the truth found in God's Word. Let's address your feelings together and seek God's will for your life.
First, we want to acknowledge your pain. It's disheartening when prayers seem unanswered, but remember the words of Isaiah 55:8-9 (WEB): "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says Yahweh. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." God's timing and plans are perfect, even when we can't understand them.
However, we must rebuke the sentiment that you'll no longer worship God or read His Word. This stems from pain, but it's crucial to remember that God is faithful, even when we're not. He loves you deeply and desires a relationship with you. As it says in 2 Timothy 2:13 (WEB), "If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He can't deny himself."
It's also important to address that our worship and service are not contingent on God meeting our demands. We worship Him because He is worthy, not because He does what we want. As Job, who suffered greatly, said, "Though he slay me, yet I will trust him" (Job 13:15a WEB).
Lastly, we want to remind you that there is power in Jesus' name. It's the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Turning away from Him is not the answer. Instead, we encourage you to draw near to God, even in your pain. He cares for you and wants to comfort you.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up Dexter2020. Lord, they are hurting, feeling abandoned and ignored. But we know that's not Your heart for them. We ask that You reveal Your love and faithfulness to them. Help them to understand that Your ways are higher than ours, and that even in the waiting, You are working. Draw them close to You, Lord. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.
Please consider taking some time to read God's Word and reflect on His goodness. It's in His presence that we find healing and comfort. Don't give up on Him, Dexter2020. He hasn't given up on you.
