not clear

[Anonymous]

Good morning, I'm in very hard circumstances and I have decided to try to resolve the issues on my ow and it has gotten worse. I want to wait on the Lord but it has been unbearable especially when bills need to be paid and people keep pushing you to sign documents that are non compliant. People say hire a lawyer but never say where to get one, I can't deal with thepressure and lack of divine intervention. I have tried my best to resist signing, but since God hasn't intervened, I may have to just sign to get the pressure off. People can judge if they want but they're not in my shoes and my health has deteriorated, the doctors don't listen either. What is going on here? These days my faith has weakened and that's just the truth.

 

[Articles]

We hear the heaviness in your heart and we grieve with you over the pressure you are under, and we thank you for speaking honestly that your faith has weakened and that trying to resolve these issues in your own strength has only made things worse. We want to lift you up before the Lord together and also speak truth to you in love, because you are at a critical crossroads.

You said you want to wait on the Lord but it has become unbearable, especially with bills and with people pushing you to sign documents that are non compliant. We understand that the pressure to just sign to make it stop feels overwhelming, especially when your health is suffering and you feel unheard even by doctors. Yet we must lovingly rebuke the thought of signing something you know to be false or non compliant just to get relief. God calls us to walk in truth even when it costs us, and to do otherwise would be to trade temporary relief for a compromise that dishonors Him and could bring greater harm later. You shall not give false testimony, Exodus 20:16, and Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight, Proverbs 12:22. Also, A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight, Proverbs 11:1, and Putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, Ephesians 4:25. We know people may judge without understanding your shoes, but God sees and He will honor your integrity even when men press you. To sign a false document would be to take on guilt before God and before the law, and it would not truly resolve the issue.

Waiting on the Lord is not passive and it is not a sign that He has abandoned you. His intervention is not always immediate in the way we expect, but He is at work even when we cannot feel it. Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh, Psalm 27:14, and But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint, Isaiah 40:31. When you say you have not seen divine intervention, remember that God promises Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him, Lamentations 3:25, and We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose, Romans 8:28. He sees the bills, the pressure, the deteriorating health, and He has not forgotten you. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, Psalm 46:1.

We also notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and find salvation and true help. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to call upon His name, confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation, Romans 10:9-10. It is in His name we pray and find strength when our own faith feels weak. He understands our weakness, for If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He cannot deny himself, 2 Timothy 2:13.

For the practical pressures, we encourage you not to walk this alone. God gives wisdom and counsel through others. Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they are established, Proverbs 15:22, and If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him, James 1:5. Even when people say hire a lawyer but give no direction, we encourage you to seek out real help, contact your local legal aid society, your county bar association referral service, or a Christian legal aid ministry, and also ask your pastor or church elders to walk with you as advocates. Bring every document to a trusted counselor before signing, and if you must, put in writing that you need time for legal review. God will provide a way to stand under pressure, for God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it, 1 Corinthians 10:13. For your health, we encourage you to keep advocating for yourself, seek another medical opinion if needed, bring a trusted friend to appointments to help you be heard, and remember that God is your healer, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, Psalm 103:3.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear one who is weary, pressed on every side, and feeling that their faith is failing. Lord, You see the bills that are due, the people demanding a signature on what is not true, the exhaustion and the failing health, and the feeling of being unheard. We ask You to forgive us for trying to fix things in our own strength and to teach us to wait upon You. Grant wisdom, Lord, give clear direction for every document and decision, and provide godly counsel and even a trustworthy lawyer or advocate where needed. Give courage to stand in truth and not to sign what is false, even under great pressure. Provide for every financial need according to Your riches in glory, for You have promised my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, Matthew 6:33. Touch this body, Lord, bring healing and strength, help doctors to listen, and comfort this heart that feels forgotten. When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I, Psalm 61:2. Strengthen weak faith, remind this dear one that You will never leave nor forsake them, and that You are near to the brokenhearted. Let Your peace that passes understanding guard heart and mind in Christ Jesus. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, our only hope and Savior, amen.

We encourage you to stay in the Word daily, even a few verses, to pray honestly as you have here, and to let other believers stand with you. Do not sign what violates your conscience and the truth, but keep seeking the Lord and wise counsel. He is faithful even when we feel weak, Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness, Isaiah 41:10.

Thank you for being so honest about where you are. Trying to carry this alone, feeling pressed from every side with bills, paperwork, and health concerns, and then feeling like heaven is quiet, that is an exhausting place to be. It makes sense your faith feels thin right now.

We hear how heavy the pressure is to just sign to make it stop, especially when no one will point you to real help. Wanting the pressure off does not make you a failure, but signing something you believe is not compliant can create a bigger problem later that is harder to undo. A steady next step when you can is to pause and get a second set of eyes before you sign anything.

If you do not have a lawyer, you do not have to find an expensive one on your own. Many areas have a local legal aid office, a bar association referral service, or a self-help desk at the courthouse that can review documents or tell you where to get low-cost advice. Ask for a full copy of anything they want you to sign, ask for the request in writing, and say you need time to get advice before you sign. A trusted pastor or community agency may also know who to call locally.

You mentioned your health has deteriorated and you feel unheard by doctors. We encourage you to keep bringing those concerns to your medical provider, and it can help to bring someone you trust with you and bring a written list of what has changed.

Father, we lift our brother to You. You see the bills, the pressure, the health struggles and the tired faith. Give him wisdom for each decision, protection from being pushed into what is not right, and help from the right people in the right time. Bring peace and strength for today and clear direction for the next step. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your honesty in confessing that your faith has weakened and that you have tried to resolve these matters in your own strength is itself a mercy, for it brings you to the place where the Lord can meet you. You have learned what many of us learn slowly, that when everything has broken down we come back to God and to salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and there we find the Lord lovingly waiting, graciously waiting, ready to pardon and to help.

The Scripture says, Therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you. And again, My soul, wait thou only upon God, or as one has rendered it, be thou silent before God. Rest calm and undisturbed. And again, Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart, wait, I say, on the Lord. These words were written for such an hour as yours, when bills press, when health fails, when men urge you to do what conscience tells you is not right, and when heaven seems silent.

Do not think that because deliverance has not yet come, God has forgotten you. There is a waiting God and there must be a waiting people. His waiting is not neglect but long forbearance and singular patience, that He may bring the soul to wait on Him. When God has waited for the soul, that soul is brought to wait on Him, and His patience toward His chosen is not in vain. He has not failed you, though the pressure has made it feel so.

You speak of being pushed to sign documents that are non compliant. To sign what is not true or not lawful in order to get pressure off may give a moment of relief, but it will not give peace, and it will add another link to a chain that will be harder to break. Hear the counsel to have no compromise where truth and righteousness are concerned. To the true man God is first, yea all in all. In the name of God I would urge you to stand fast, whatever you lose, and turn not aside, whatever you might gain. Do not put God at the fag end and everything else before Him. Better to bear the reproach of men who do not understand your shoes than to act against conscience and then have to answer both to God and to the law for that act.

Waiting upon God does not mean doing nothing. It means bringing your ways honestly before Him and saying, I have declared my ways, and seeking His teaching. It means refusing to make a hasty decision under pressure, and seeking lawful and godly counsel before you set your hand to anything. You say people tell you to hire a lawyer but never tell you where to find one. In such a strait, seek help through means God has provided in providence. Speak plainly to a faithful pastor or elder in a Bible believing church and ask them to help you find counsel. In many places there are legal aid offices, bar association referral services, and Christian legal aid ministries that help those who cannot afford counsel. Take another trusted person with you to appointments, whether with those pressing you for signatures or with doctors who have not listened, so that you are not alone under pressure and your concerns are clearly heard and recorded. Keep copies of all papers, ask for time to review anything you are asked to sign, and do not sign under duress what you do not understand or believe to be true.

For your daily needs and your health, remember the promise, They that wait on the Lord shall not want any good thing. That is the right kind of independency, to know no dependence except upon God. Your soul, like the world, should hang on nothing but the promise of God. Go to your God when you are out of order. Waiting upon Him is the way to renew strength until you mount up with eagles wings. He sees you on this unstable sea where the boat is always rocking, and He alone is your confidence. He can pilot the vessel when it is almost on the rock and bring it into deep waters again.

You ask what is going on here. Much of it is the common trial of a believer pressed by want, by sickness, and by the temptation to take a shortcut. Let pride and self reliance be put away, and humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, admitting your need of His mercy in Christ. The wicked shall be cast into hell, but the soul that confesses its sin and looks to the forsaken yet victorious Christ who cried, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, shall find that forsaking was for our salvation, that we might never be forsaken.

Therefore, be of good courage. Wait only upon God. Do not sign what is false or unlawful to escape present distress. Seek patient, lawful counsel, bring your burdens to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to strengthen your heart by His mysterious power. May the Lord who waits to be gracious show you His time of love, sustain you under the pressure, provide for your needs, give you favour with honest helpers, and restore your faith as you look again to Jesus Christ alone for salvation and for daily grace.

[Chrysostom]

Your honesty in sharing this is heard, and I thank you for speaking the truth plainly about how heavy this has become. The pressure you describe is real. Bills that must be paid, people urging you to sign papers you know are not right, no clear help finding a lawyer, health that is failing while doctors seem not to listen, and the painful sense that God has not stepped in as you hoped. It is understandable that your faith feels weakened under such a weight, and God is not distant from that honesty.

You said you tried to resolve things on your own and it got worse. That experience is common when we carry a burden that was never meant to be carried alone. Waiting on the Lord is not passive, and it is not easy when every day brings new demands. Yet the Scriptures show that faith is not a small addition to our own efforts, but the whole power by which we live. To believe is to trust that God sees, that He is with you in the waiting, and that His help may come in ways we do not expect, even when the wind is still blowing hard around us.

About those documents, I urge you with love not to sign what you know is not compliant or not true, even to get relief from pressure. A moment of relief bought by a false signature can bring longer and deeper trouble, legally and before God, and it will not bring the peace you need. The Lord honors integrity even when it is costly, and He calls us to seek first His kingdom and righteousness, trusting that He will provide what is needed in His time and way. That does not mean you must face the pressure alone without counsel. If people say hire a lawyer but do not tell you where to find one, here are ordinary places many have found help. You can contact your local legal aid office, which often serves those who cannot afford a private attorney, or the lawyer referral service of your county or state bar association, which can point you to someone who handles your kind of matter. Many courts also have a self help center, and many churches and community ministries keep a list of trusted Christian attorneys or advocates who will at least offer an initial consultation. Bring the papers with you, ask for time to review before signing anything, and if you are pressed, it is right to say plainly that you need counsel before you sign.

Your health and the frustration with doctors also matter deeply. You are not imagining this strain, and it is right to keep seeking care. If you can, bring a trusted friend or family member to appointments to help you be heard, write down your symptoms and questions beforehand, and ask for clear next steps. If one doctor does not listen, seeking a second opinion is a reasonable and responsible step. God cares for your body as well as your soul, for we are His both by creation and by faith, and He invites us to bring our whole need to Him.

You asked what is going on when faith feels weak. The Scriptures do not hide this struggle. One moment Peter walked toward Jesus on the water, the next he looked at the wind and began to sink, and Jesus showed him that it was not the wind that overcame him but the wavering of faith. In the same way, the woman who touched the hem of His garment did not come with arguments or doubts, but with a quiet confidence that He could heal her, and the centurion trusted His word from a distance. In both cases great faith was joined to humility. When we have been in the faith for a long time and still find ourselves doubting, we can feel like children again at the beginning. The remedy is not to add other foundations, but to sweep the mind clear and yield ourselves again to Christ in simple trust, asking Him to strengthen what is weak.

You are not judged here for being tired. God receives even a weakened faith when it turns to Him. He has shown His love most clearly in Jesus Christ, through whom we have forgiveness and life, and He remains faithful even when we are not strong.

May I pray for you. Father in heaven, I lift up this dear one to You through Jesus Christ. You see the bills, the pressure to sign what is not right, the lack of clear help, the failing health, and the weariness of heart. Grant wisdom to know what is right and courage to stand in it, provide honest counsel and provision for daily needs, give doctors ears to hear and bring healing according to Your mercy, and strengthen faith where it has grown weak. Help this soul to wait on You with hope, to know Your nearness, and to walk in integrity one step at a time. Amen.

Please do not walk this alone. Reach out to a pastor or a mature believer near you, share these papers and pressures with them, and let them walk with you to find the practical help you need. If you can, let us know how you are doing, so we can continue to pray and support you.
