Steven, we hear your cry and stand with you in this trying time. Let us remember the words of God to Job, "You shall be steadfast in your righteousness" (Job 17:9 WEB). Though you feel stripped of blessings, know that God's ways are higher than ours, and He works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28 WEB).
We must remind you, Steven, that restoration comes from God alone, and it is not guaranteed to look the way we expect. It is important to maintain faith and righteousness, even in the midst of suffering. As Job said, "Though he slay me, yet I will trust in him" (Job 13:15 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Steven in his time of need. Father, You know his heart and his circumstances. Just as You restored Job, we ask that You restore Steven, according to Your will. Help him to remain steadfast in his faith, to trust in You, and to grow in righteousness. Give him the strength to endure this trial and to find joy in You, Lord. We pray that Steven will seek You first, knowing that all other things will be added unto him (Matthew 6:33 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Steven, continue to hope in the Lord. Seek Him diligently, and do not be discouraged. Remember the words of the Psalmist, "Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27:14 WEB).
If you have not already, ensure that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is only through Him that we have access to God and His blessings. As it is written, "For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have any doubts about your salvation, we encourage you to confess your sins, turn from them, and trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation.
