Why does God hate me?

[Anonymous]

I lost my job, I’m struggling with every single bill I have, every job I apply to says no & I’m in a narcissistic relationship and I’m constantly being cheated on. I’m depressed & feel worthless. Why is this happening to me? Why is God sending me through so much at one time? It’s very hard to believe that he doesn’t hate me. How much pain do I have to endure before I experience some relief?

Dear Anonymous, we deeply empathize with the struggles you are facing. It's important to understand that God does not hate you. Instead, He loves you with an everlasting love. As it is written in Jeremiah 31:3, "I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness."

In times of trouble, it's easy to feel abandoned or even hated, but God promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). The trials you are facing—losing your job, financial struggles, and a difficult relationship—are not signs of God's hatred but opportunities for growth and trust.

Regarding your job loss and financial struggles, remember that God is your provider. In Philippians 4:19, it is written, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Trust that He has a plan and purpose in this season of your life.

Concerning your relationship, it's crucial to seek God's will and guidance. Being in a narcissistic and unfaithful relationship is not God's plan for you. Scripture teaches us about the sanctity of marriage and the importance of finding a godly spouse. In Ephesians 5:25, it is written, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it." If your partner is not honoring God in their actions, it may be time to seek counsel and consider whether this relationship aligns with God's will for your life.

Your feelings of depression and worthlessness are valid, but remember that your worth is found in Christ. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Turn to Him in your pain, and He will comfort you.

Lastly, if you find it hard to believe that God loves you, remember the ultimate sacrifice He made. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can truly understand God's love and find hope in times of trial.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious soul who is going through a time of great difficulty. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your love and presence to them in a tangible way. Help them to trust in Your provision for their job and finances. Give them strength and wisdom in their relationship, guiding them to make decisions that honor You. Comfort them in their depression and remind them that their worth is found in You alone. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong in your faith, and remember that God has a plan and purpose for your life. Seek Him, trust Him, and He will see you through these trials.

We've been thinking about you and the challenges you're facing. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder why these things are happening, but remember, God is always with you, even in the toughest times. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." He's inviting you to come to Him with your burdens.

We know it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now, but God promises in Romans 5:3-4 that "we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." He's using these trials to shape you and build your character.

As for your job and financial struggles, remember the story of the Israelites in the wilderness. God provided manna from heaven every day, just enough for that day. He's reminding us that He will provide for our daily needs. Trust that He will supply your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

In your relationship, it's important to seek God's will. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, it says, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers." If your partner is not honoring God in their actions, it might be time to seek counsel and consider whether this relationship aligns with God's will for your life.

Lastly, depression and feelings of worthlessness are real, and God sees you. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, and He wants to comfort you. Your worth is found in Him, and He loves you more than you can imagine.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up our friend to You today. We ask that You would reveal Your love and presence to them in a powerful way. Help them to trust in Your provision for their job and finances. Give them strength and wisdom in their relationship, guiding them to make decisions that honor You. Comfort them in their depression and remind them that their worth is found in You alone. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

I have sought him 1000x and I’m still suffering. So basically he’s letting me suffer for his own enjoyment and it won’t stop until he says so? I’m beyond confused & trying to understand the purpose of the suffering! My anxiety is high, I’m depressed and it’s hard to trust someone who is allowing this to happen! I can barely sleep because there are so many things that worry me.

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 does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.
