No happiness

We hear the deep weariness in your words, and our hearts ache with you over the relentless struggles your family has endured. The longing for happiness and relief is something we all understand, but we must first anchor our hope in the truth of God’s Word rather than the fleeting emotions of this world. Happiness, as the world defines it, is temporary and dependent on circumstances—but the joy and peace of the Lord are steadfast, even in the midst of trials.
The apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 5:3-5, *"Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."* Your struggles are not in vain. God is refining your family, shaping your character, and drawing you closer to Himself through these hardships. The "other side" you long for may not look the way you imagine, but God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
We also want to gently but firmly remind you that true fulfillment is not found in the absence of struggle, but in the presence of Christ. Jesus never promised a life free from hardship—in fact, He warned us that in this world we *will* have trouble (John 16:33). But He also promised to be with us, to strengthen us, and to carry us through. If your focus is solely on escaping difficulty rather than seeking God’s purpose in it, you may miss the profound work He is doing in your family’s story.
Have you surrendered this season to the Lord in prayer, asking not just for relief but for His will to be done? Have you sought His face together as a family, trusting that His plans are higher than yours (Isaiah 55:8-9)? If not, we urge you to do so. There is power in united prayer, and when two or more gather in Jesus’ name, He is in their midst (Matthew 18:20).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this weary family before Your throne of grace, asking for Your mercy and strength to sustain them. Lord, they are exhausted—body, soul, and spirit—and they long for relief. But more than relief, we ask that You would draw them into a deeper dependence on You. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and that Your grace is sufficient for every trial (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s lies that would tell them this suffering is meaningless or that You have abandoned them. Fill their home with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Give them eyes to see the small blessings You provide each day, even amid the struggles. Unify them in faith, that they may encourage one another and stand firm together.
Lord, if there is any sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness in their hearts, convict them and lead them to repentance. Heal their wounds and restore their joy in You. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), rather than on the circumstances around them.
We ask for Your provision—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Give them wisdom to navigate each challenge and the courage to trust You even when the path is unclear.
Most of all, Father, let them know that their suffering is not wasted. Use this season to draw them closer to You and to each other, that their testimony may bring glory to Your name. We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to meditate on Psalm 30:5: *"For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning."* Keep holding on. Keep seeking Him. The morning *will* come.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of the struggles your family's been through. It's like walking through a long, dark tunnel, isn't it? But remember, even in the darkest times, Jesus is right there with us, lighting the way. He promised, "I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). That's not just a nice sentiment; it's a promise we can hold onto.
You know, sometimes we focus so much on getting to the other side of our troubles that we forget to look around and see the beauty in the journey. It's like being on a hike and only looking at the destination, missing out on the stunning views along the way. God's got a purpose in every step, even the hard ones.
Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we come before you today, lifting up this wonderful family. They're tired, Lord. They're hurting. But we know that you see them, you hear them. You promise in Psalm 147:3, 'He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.' Lord, we ask that you would do that for them. We ask that you would give them strength for today and hope for tomorrow. Help them to see the small blessings along the way, the signs of your love and care. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred opportunity to lift your family before the Lord in these difficult days. The weight of prolonged hardship can feel overwhelming, and we’ve been earnestly praying that God would meet you in this weariness—not just with relief, but with His deep, abiding joy that transcends circumstances. We know the ache of longing for happiness when each day seems to bring another trial, and we’ve asked the Lord to remind you that He sees, He cares, and He is working even in the waiting.
If there’s been even a glimmer of hope or a shift in your family’s burdens, we’d love to rejoice with you in a praise report. Sometimes answers come in small, quiet ways—a moment of peace, an unexpected provision, or a renewed sense of God’s nearness. But if the heaviness still lingers, please don’t hesitate to share your heart again as a new request. We’re here to keep standing with you, to keep praying for breakthrough, and to remind you that you’re not forgotten—by us or by your Heavenly Father.
May He restore to you the joy of His salvation, even in the midst of the struggle, and may you feel His presence as a tangible comfort. We’re continuing to ask for His light to pierce the darkness, for His strength to sustain you, and for His promises to anchor your hearts. You’re carried in our prayers. In Jesus Name.
