Why is God letting me suffer for no reason

[Syleyreansil]

God says he delights in blessing us but all I've just been getting is bad news.

6 years since I've graduated from college and I can't get or keep a decent job or stable place to live. I was working minimum wage for $### an hour which almost hospitalized me. Quit and was so broke I had to live in section 8/HUD housing. From there was harassed by ghetto people and reported it and the landlord and neighbors tried to ruin my life with severe bullying and taking me to court even when I was innocent with no criminal records and they were seasoned convicts but the police and judge chose to believe them.

Left section 8 and moved to another place. The landlord wanted to sleep with me and I said no and then I had to move because he wanted to take me to court.

Got a new job and was persecuted for degree and looks. Was working 2 jobs seven days a week and barely getting any sleep. Left 1 of the jobs and stuck with the other was sexually harassed by a female coworker and the manager penalized me and fired the coworker to keep their hands clean. Later on they fired me when I called out the hypocrisy for rehiring an employee that was known for harassing people.

Got another job and the manager lied she would give my resume to HR as I was overqualified for retail and I should work corporate. She never did but instead started making snide comments about my looks

Got another job with a so-called Christian company who called me a slave because of my skin color and I was not allowed to pray the way I wanted but let other denominations practice their faith. When I reported it to HR they fired me.

Living in a place now where my housemates also persecute me for my looks and being Christian.

On top of that I'm in debt because the section 8 building is saying I owe $### in rent which is a foolish lie as evidence proves otherwise and I'm working with lawyers.

I had to lie to get money to pay April's rent. Applied to over ### jobs no good news. I have no friends, no family to rely on. I have not seen my brother in ### years because I can't even afford a bus ticket or plane ticket to see him

I went from having my own car to having to ride the bus. Couldn't even finish masters education cause I had to drop out of school due to stress. Was on medication when I was being bullied in section 8. I was sexually assaulted by a ghetto homeless man and the prosecutor refused to press charges because she said it's hard to prove his motive even though he is a seasoned criminal.

I just hate God at this point cause I can't catch a bloody break. Ever since I gave my life to God ### years ago my life has just become worse. Make progress, then it's taken away. It's not like I don't tithe so why is God letting the devil eat my harvest. Today is my ###th birthday and supposed to be ### years of me being a Christian but at this point I don't even know if it's worth it. How can I be educated and can't even put food on the table through no fault of mine. Now I'm about to have $### of debt extra because the stupid salon I was supposed to do my hair at on my birthday said I have to pay full price to cancel because I gave them less than 24 hours notice when I don't have a bloody dime to pay.

I don't even know how I'll pay May's rent. My former classmates who are living in sin are making over $###,### a year with their degrees. My resume is just embarrassing and sad. Why choose God when I'm left to suffer. Isn't it better for me to just be in this world and at least have money to supply my basic needs. Will I forever have to rely on food pantries and thrift stores to put something on my back.

Why was I prosperous before God and now in poverty knowing God. I just hate him and hate my life.

 

[Articles]

Let us address this together, remembering that God is faithful, and He has a purpose and plan for each of us, even in the midst of suffering. First, let us acknowledge the pain and frustration that has been expressed. It is human to feel this way when facing overwhelming circumstances, but we must remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB.

Let us also remember that God does not promise a life free from troubles, but He does promise to be with us through them all. As it is written, "In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 WEB.

It is also important to address the feelings of hatred towards God that have been expressed. This is a normal human reaction, as even some of the prophets felt abandoned by God. Hear David's words in Psalm 22:1-2 WEB, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent."

We must remember that our feelings do not dictate reality, and that God is always with us, even when we do not feel Him. He says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5 WEB.

Now, let us address the issues raised about work, harassment, and housing. It is important to remember that God takes injustice seriously, and that He hates it when the innocent are taken advantage of. As it is written, "Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees; to turn aside the needy from justice, and to take away the rights from the poor of my people, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!" Isaiah 10:1-2 WEB.

Furthermore, "He doesn't oppress anyone, nor does he take a bribe. He executes judgment for the oppressed; he gives justice to the orphan and the widow; he loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing." Deuteronomy 10:18 WEB.

Therefore, let us pray that God would bring justice to these situations, and that He would vindicate the innocent.

We must also remember that God is our provider, and that He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. As it is written, "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 WEB.

Therefore, let us pray that God would provide for the needs that have been expressed, and that He would open the doors to a job that would use the gifts and talents that have been given.

We must also address the temptation that has been expressed to turn away from God and live in the world. Let us remember that there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved, except the name of Jesus Acts 4:12 WEB. Turning away from God may bring temporary relief, but it will ultimately lead to destruction. As it is written, "For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?" Matthew 16:26 WEB.

We are by no means suggesting that God is the cause of the suffering or trials. Trials come to test our faith and to glorify God in the way we respond to them. This is an opportunity to praise Him, the only God. If you have not done so, make sure to call on the Lord Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved.

Finally, let us pray together for this situation.

Father God,

We come before You today, lifting up this dear sister in Christ. Lord, she is hurting, she is frustrated, and she is at the end of her rope. But Lord, we know that You are still on the throne, and that You have a purpose and a plan for her life.

We all feel like this at one time or another. Therefore, Lord we ask that You would help her to feel Your presence, and to know that You are always with her, even in the midst of her struggles. Help her to know that You are good, and that Your love for her is everlasting.

Lord, we ask that You would bring justice to the situations that she is facing. Vindicate her, Lord, and bring an end to the harassment and the lies. Lord, we ask that You would provide for her needs, that You would open the doors to a job that would use the gifts and talents that You have given her.

Lord, we also ask that You would help her to resist the temptation to turn away from You. Help her to know that You are the only source of true life and true joy. Help her to know that You are worth following, no matter the cost.

Lord, we also pray for her salvation, that You would bring her to a true relationship with You through faith in Jesus Christ. Help her to know that You are the only way, the only truth, and the only life.

Lord, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Remember, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB. Also, know that everything will work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose Romans 8:28 WEB.

Lord, we ask that You would provide for her needs. Help her to trust that You're her provider, and that You'll supply all her needs according to Your riches in glory.

With love and prayers,
###

[Wernad]

Lord God, they are at their breaking point. The pain has been long, the injustice heavy, and the silence from Heaven feels unbearable. They’ve walked through harassment, betrayal, poverty, abuse, isolation, and loss—despite surrendering their life to You.

They cry out now not from a place of strength, but from the wreckage of a weary heart.

You said in Psalm 34:18,
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
So come close to them now, Lord. Be near in a way they can feel.

You also said in Isaiah 41:10,
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
God, they don’t feel upheld—they feel dropped. Forgotten. Left behind. Still, they’re crying out for You to lift them even now.

They remember Your promise in Romans 8:28,
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
But right now, they can’t see the good. So we ask: if the purpose isn’t clear, then let Your presence at least be undeniable.

Lord, defend them. Provide for them. Break the lies, the cycles, the spiritual attacks. Send divine help, miraculous provision, and justice where evil has tried to reign. Give them hope again—not through circumstances alone, but through a divine encounter with You that revives their soul.

May Psalm 126:5 speak over them in this wilderness:
“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.”

Restore their dignity. Restore their peace. And restore what the enemy has stolen—not only materially but emotionally and spiritually.

In Jesus’ holy, healing, and powerful name,
Amen.
