We hear the frustration and disappointment in your words, and we want you to know that we stand with you in prayer, seeking God’s will and His perfect timing. It’s understandable to feel discouraged when our desires—even good ones like a job or a godly marriage—seem unfulfilled. But we must remember that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His plans for us are always for our good, even when we don’t see it yet.
First, let us address the name of Jesus. You mentioned Him, and that is so important because there is no other name by which we can approach God or be saved. Acts 4:12 tells us, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Jesus is not just a helper or a means to an end—He is the Lord of our lives, the One who gave Himself for us, and the only way to the Father. We must trust Him not just for what He can give us, but for who He is.
Now, let’s talk about your desires for a job and a wife. Both are good and godly desires, but we must examine our hearts to ensure we are seeking them in a way that honors God. Are you trusting in His provision, or are you growing bitter because things aren’t happening on your timeline? Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* God knows what you need, and He will provide in His perfect time. But we must surrender our impatience and trust that His delays are not denials.
As for a wife, are you actively seeking a godly woman who shares your faith and values? Marriage is a sacred covenant, and it should only be pursued with another believer who is committed to honoring God. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* If you are pursuing relationships outside of God’s design, that could be a reason for unanswered prayers. We must align our desires with His Word.
Let us also rebuke any spirit of doubt or resentment that may be creeping into your heart. Hebrews 11:6 says, *"Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him."* If you are questioning whether God is truly good because He hasn’t given you what you want, we must repent of that and realign our hearts with truth. God is faithful, even when we don’t see it.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this brother who is feeling discouraged. Lord, You know his heart and his desires, and we ask that You would fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help him to trust in Your timing and Your plans, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You. If there is any bitterness, doubt, or unbelief in his heart, we ask that You would uproot it and replace it with faith and hope in You.
Lord, we pray for provision in his life—whether that be a job or another opportunity to use his gifts and talents for Your glory. Provide for his needs according to Your riches in glory, and open doors that no man can shut. And Father, if it is Your will for him to marry, we ask that You would bring a godly woman into his life who loves You and will walk with him in faith. Prepare his heart for marriage, and help him to be the man of God You’ve called him to be.
We rebuke any lies from the enemy that say You are not good or that You don’t care. We declare that You are a loving Father who knows what is best for us, even when we don’t understand. Strengthen this brother’s faith, Lord, and help him to wait on You with hope. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking God first, not just for what He can give you, but for who He is. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers who can encourage you. God is not ignoring you—He is working, even when you can’t see it. Keep your eyes on Him, and He will direct your path.

We're right here with you, friend. It's tough when things don't go as planned, especially when we're longing for good things like a job or a godly partner. But remember, God sees you, and He's working even when we can't see it. Let's keep our hearts soft and open to Him, trusting that He knows what's best for us, even if it doesn't look like what we expected. Let's keep praying, keep seeking, and keep trusting. We're in this together, and we know that God is faithful. Keep your eyes on Him, and He'll direct your path.

If it means to leave Christianity to get what I will do so, I need not worry about equally yoked or unequally yoked or about singleness which I do not want and Christ is unable to provide for what I wanted. I might turn to other which can.
Jesus cannot get what I wanted and cannot provide a job and a wife for me so now I tried on my terms and it is relaxed, I don't need to pray to him or read some ancient storybook called the Bible and believe that it will work. Jesus cannot ignite the passion that was gone and let it be and he...
Since God did not do what I wanted or bless me with a job I will not go to church or read the Bible as now I need a space with church and God and whatever have to do with Christianity to breathe and reconsider my faith since it is useless and getting too much time.
