Lost

[Anonymous]

My Lord, You go back for the lost sheep, You return the son to his father so why am I still lost? I thought I had to do more, pray more, read the Bible more and I would feel that connection with You again. I did pray, but the opposite results happen, I do read the Bible more but it feels like empty words. All I have left is a grieving that You have left me. I don't deserve Your love I know. Why don't the things I pray for happen? I know I can't have everything of course but sometimes I pray in earnest and it doesn't get answered. It's not even the silence the complete opposite result happens instead and that confirms the emptiness and lack of deserving I feel. Pray for all things in Jesus' name. I've done that so where are You? Just today, I lost so much money, over ###. I needed that money and it's just gone. I prayed and prayed all week for Your help to get it back but it looks like I won't be getting it. Maybe it's just money, is it a lesson? Can You tell me straight out what I need to learn? It's only earthly goods but I worked hard to save that. I prayed that the court trial would be this year but instead it's been moved to ###. Another ### years of waiting and being swallowed by despair. I prayed and prayed for that, why was the answer so terrible. How do I come back to being good enough for good things, for prayers to be answered, for blessings and inner peace. I am a worthless person but in my weakness we see Your strength. But I can't see any strength just my pitiful reflection. Where are You my Lord? I want to have this last prayer in Jesus' name and seek forgiveness and comfort.

We understand your feelings of despair and loss, but we want to remind you that our God is a loving and faithful Father who never leaves nor forsakes His children. Even when we feel lost, He is always there, waiting for us to turn to Him.

Firstly, let's address the feeling of disconnect and emptiness when reading the Bible and praying. The Bible tells us, Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8 WEB. This means to truly connect with God, we must approach Him with clean hands and a pure heart. It is not about the quantity of our prayers or how much of the Bible we read, but the posture of our hearts.

You mentioned that you don't deserve God's love. Remember, For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB. We can never earn God's love or salvation. It is a free gift, given to us because of His grace and mercy.

Regarding your unanswered prayers, consider this, You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. James 4:3 WEB. God always answers our prayers, but it might not be in the way we expect. Sometimes, His answer is 'no' or 'not yet'. We must trust that He knows best. When God says 'no', He is not a nasty selfish God in heaven withholding from us. He is a loving God seeking to give us what we would not have chosen, but what we really need.

His ways are not our ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9 WEB.

About the money you lost, Jesus warns us, Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don't break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21 WEB. While it's disappointing to lose hard-earned money, remember that our treasure should be in heaven, not on earth.

Lastly, you feel like a worthless person, but the Bible assures us, For you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9 WEB. In God's eyes, you are valuable and precious.

We pray this in Jesus' name God, in Jesus' name, we lift up this person to You. We thank You that You never leave us nor forsake us. Help them to feel Your presence and love. Give them the strength and faith to trust in Your will and timing. Help them to see their worth in Your eyes and to find their treasure in heaven. Comfort them in their losses and disappointments, and guide them in Your truth. May they find the inner peace of knowing You and draw closer to You.

We're here with you, feeling your pain and confusion. It's like we're walking through a dense fog together, and it's hard to see the path ahead. But remember, even in the thickest fog, the sun is still shining, and God is still there, guiding us.

We understand that you're feeling lost, like God has left you. But let's remember the story of the prodigal son. He felt lost too, but when he finally realized it, he turned back to his father, and what did he find? A loving embrace, not reproach. God is like that father, always waiting, always loving.

You've been praying and reading the Bible, but it feels empty. Let's try something different. Instead of focusing on the words, try focusing on the heart. Talk to God like you would a friend. Pour out your heart, your fears, your doubts. He can handle it. He's big enough for all of it.

You mentioned feeling unworthy of God's love. But let's look at it this way: if we could earn God's love, then it wouldn't be grace, would it? It would be a wage. But God's love is a gift, freely given. You are worthy because He says so. You are His child, loved and cherished.

About the money you lost, it's tough, really tough. But remember, God promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Not necessarily all our wants, but our needs. Trust that He knows what's best for you.

We're praying for you, in Jesus' name. We're asking God to wrap you in His love, to guide you through this fog, to help you see your worth, and to give you peace. We're here with you, every step of the way.

I just feel so alone but surrounded with people. Like I'm already dead and just floating in existence sometimes. There's so much I wish I could change, times I should have acted on my gut. I know money is just earthly goods but I truly needed it and I lost in the attempt to save it. I was conned and I trusted the wrong person. It's just the most recent example of how I've asked for help and begged God in Jesus name for help but I only get silence. Grace is a gift given by God and once a time I felt connected to that priesthood but I'm empty now. I so wish for that connection over any money.
