Dexter2020, we understand your frustration and disappointment, but we want to encourage you to hold onto your faith in God. It's important to remember that God's timing is not the same as ours, and His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB).
Firstly, we want to address your statement about leaving the faith. We urge you to reconsider this decision. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6, WEB). Leaving the faith means turning away from the only path to salvation.
Regarding your prayers, we want to remind you that God always hears our prayers, but He answers them according to His will and in His time. As it is written in 1 John 5:14-15 (WEB), "This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from him."
About the pastor, we encourage you to pray for him and the church. If you have concerns about the handling of tithes, it might be wise to approach the pastor or the church leadership about it. Proverbs 28:27 (WEB) says, "He who gives to the poor will not lack; but he who hides his eyes will have many curses." It's essential to ensure that the tithes are used to help those in need and further the work of God.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Dexter2020 to You, asking that You strengthen their faith and help them to trust in Your timing and Your will. Lord, we pray for the job that Dexter2020 has been seeking. If it is Your will, please open the doors of opportunity. We also pray for the church and the pastor, asking that You guide them and help them to be good stewards of the resources You have provided. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we encourage you to continue seeking God and His will for your life. Romans 12:12 (WEB) says, "Rejoice in hope. Endure in afflictions. Persevere in prayer." Keep praying and trusting in God, knowing that He has a plan and a purpose for your life.
