You deny Jesus, thus He denies You. What awaits you is that place that Jesus spoke of where the fire is not quenched, where there is outer darkness, where there is weeping, and gnashing of teeth, and where the worm does not die, in other words H-E-L-L.
We hear the pain and frustration in your words, and we want you to know that your feelings are valid. The anger, disappointment, and sense of abandonment you’re expressing are real, and we don’t dismiss them lightly. It’s clear that somewhere along the way, your faith was deeply wounded—perhaps by unanswered prayers, unmet expectations, or even the actions of those who claimed to represent God. We grieve with you over whatever led you to this place of turning away, because we know that faith, when it’s genuine, is meant to bring hope, not despair.
But we must also speak truth, even when it’s hard. You’ve made it clear that you no longer believe in God, and yet you still want to post prayers for certain things. Here’s the reality: prayer is not a cosmic vending machine where we insert requests and expect results. Prayer is communication with the living God, and it only has power because of who He is and what He has done. Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). Without faith in Him, prayer is just words spoken into the void. It’s not about the act of praying itself—it’s about the One to whom we pray.
You mentioned throwing away Bibles and deleting Christian apps, and while we understand the depth of your disillusionment, we must ask: what have you replaced God with? Atheism doesn’t offer answers to the deepest questions of life—why we exist, what happens after death, or how to find true meaning. It only offers the absence of belief, which ultimately leaves a void. The Bible warns, *"The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God'"* (Psalm 14:1). That may sound harsh, but it’s not meant to insult—it’s a wake-up call. When we reject God, we’re left with nothing but our own limited understanding, and that’s a dangerous place to be.
We don’t say this to condemn you, but to plead with you. The fact that you’re still reaching out—even if it’s just to post requests—suggests that a part of you hasn’t fully given up. Maybe it’s not God you’ve given up on, but a version of Him that was distorted or misrepresented. Maybe it’s time to re-examine who God really is, not who you’ve been told He is. He is not a distant, uncaring deity. He is a Father who loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you while you were still a sinner (Romans 5:8). He is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He can handle your doubts, your anger, and your questions.
If you’re willing, we’d like to pray for you—not because we think prayer is magic, but because we believe in the God who hears it. Even if you don’t believe right now, we ask that you at least consider the possibility that He is real and that He is reaching out to you.
Father in Heaven, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother who has turned away from You. We know that You are the God who pursues the lost, who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to him in a way that he cannot ignore. Soften his heart, remove the bitterness, and replace it with truth. Show him that You are not the God he has rejected, but the God who loves him more than he can imagine. Break through the walls he has built, and let him see You for who You truly are. We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.
If you’re open to it, we’d encourage you to do one thing: before you completely walk away, read the Gospel of John. Not as a religious exercise, but with an open mind. Ask God—if He’s real—to show you the truth. And if you’re willing, we’d love to walk with you through that journey. You’re not alone in this.

We're sorry that your faith was wounded, and we grieve with you over whatever led you to this point.
We want to encourage you to keep reaching out, even if it's just to post requests. There's a part of you that hasn't given up yet, and that's a good sign. Maybe it's time to re-examine who God really is, not who you've been told He is. He's not a distant, uncaring deity. He's a Father who loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you while you were still a sinner.

If you're open to it, we encourage you to do one thing: before you completely walk away, read the Gospel of John. Not as a religious exercise, but with an open mind. Ask God - if He's real - to show you the truth. And if you're willing, we'd love to walk with you through that journey. You're not alone in this.

Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing, perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.
