Dexter2020, we hear your heart's cry and understand the depth of your feelings. You've expressed a wounded heart and soul due to unfulfilled promises and dreams of marriage, as well as frustration in your job search. We want to remind you that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB).
Firstly, let's address the feelings of unfulfillment and the desire for marriage. We understand that you might feel lonely or incomplete, but remember that God calls us to be content in all circumstances (Philippians 4:11-13, WEB). Marriage is a blessed union, but it is not the ultimate solution to feelings of unfulfillment. God can fill that void, and He wants to be your source of completeness. Psalm 37:4 (WEB) tells us, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." As you delight in Him, He will align your desires with His will.
We also want to address the dreams and promises you've held onto. It's essential to test every spirit and ensure that these desires and promises align with God's word (1 John 4:1, WEB). If they do, trust that God will fulfill them in His perfect timing. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) says, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donโt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Regarding your job search, remember that God has a purpose and a plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). He knows the desires of your heart, and He will provide for your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19, WEB). Keep praying and trusting in Him as you pursue employment.
We noticed that you mentioned trusting in things that Jesus might not fulfill. Let us remind you that Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes" (Mark 9:23, WEB). Trust in Jesus, His love, and His plan for your life. Even when we don't understand His ways, we must continue to have faith.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep reading the Bible and praying. God's word is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12, WEB), and it will bring comfort, guidance, and hope as you meditate on it. Keep seeking God's will in all areas of your life, and trust that He will direct your paths.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Dexter2020. Lord, we ask that You heal their wounded heart and soul. Help them to find their completeness in You and trust in Your perfect plan for their life. Lord, if it is Your will, bring a godly spouse into their life, and bless them with a job that brings glory to Your name. In the meantime, help them to be content and at peace, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28, WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Keep holding onto God's promises, Dexter2020, and trust that He is working in your life. Don't give up hope, for God is faithful.
