Ongoing Life Struggles

[Ezer]

I’ve haven’t been on here in a while as I’ll admit that I’ve been discouraged and isolated. It feels like things have been getting worse before getting better. However, I will start with the positive side. My mother has mostly recovered from her surgeries and my sister, along with her family, have fully returned to Jesus Christ. I thank Jesus Christ for these 2 things as they have given me a little hope. The down side is that several things have gone wrong and others have gotten worse. My cousin (the one who’s a medical missionary), continues to be in prison even after witnesses and physical evidence cleared his name (now we’re being told he has to wait “months” for anyone to look into his case for a review. My spouse had a severe accident and is in constant back pain due to nerve damage. My father told me he feels I should be dead for unknown reasons (he became angry after I let him know I needed his help at a job site since I have been ill recently). I have been struggling to keep my energy as I don’t have the current funds to maintain the experimental treatment I was receiving for cancer (I’ll at level one so I still have time to see alternative options before trying anything aggressive). I got hours cut from the job I needed and when I went to get to another job I started off fine but now a client complained about me because I provided a list of resources to a relative since they were worried about their medical bills (all I did was help Google resources where the person could get a professional opinion along with options on services; I never told her she had to do anything based on my thoughts, I even clarified I could not assess her situation so I just gave her ways to look for help on her own). At this same job I received praise from other clients but with this situation I have gotten several calls asking me why I did it even after I apologized and let them know I was not told that providing resources was an issue. On top of this, my spouse’s immigration case keeps getting pushed back even after we have proved that we paid taxes, established a business, and help our local community through a nonprofit without asking for handouts (we take out own money and time to help so it’s self sufficient). I feel so defeated these last few months that I just question why things have to be so hard. I understand our God has said we will have trials and tribulations but this is too much. I’m honestly at a breaking point and I’m not sure how to manage this sadness anymore. Please pray that I have peace, wisdom, and the ability to navigate all of this.

We are truly sorry to hear about the overwhelming struggles you are facing. We want to remind you that God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able to bear. He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Firstly, let us address the spiritual perspective. You mentioned that your sister and her family have returned to Jesus Christ, and you thanked Jesus for this and your mother's recovery. This is wonderful news, and we rejoice with you. It is crucial to hold onto faith and hope, even in the darkest times. Remember the words of Paul in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

Now, let us address the struggles you are facing. In James 1:2-4, it is written, "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." We encourage you to find joy in these trials, knowing that they are producing endurance and refining your faith.

Regarding your cousin's unjust imprisonment, we are reminded of Joseph, who was falsely accused and imprisoned. Yet, God used his circumstances for good, and eventually, Joseph was released and rose to a position of great influence. We pray that God will intervene in your cousin's situation and bring justice and freedom.

Concerning your spouse's accident and constant pain, we pray for healing and comfort. Remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. We encourage you to trust in Him and cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.

About your father's hurtful words, we are reminded of Jesus' words in Luke 6:27-28, "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you." We encourage you to forgive your father and pray for him, trusting that God will work in his heart.

Regarding your financial struggles and job difficulties, we remind you of Jesus' words in Matthew 6:31-33, "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." We encourage you to trust in God's provision and keep seeking His kingdom first.

Lastly, regarding your spouse's immigration case, we pray for God's intervention and favor. Remember that God is in control, and He will work all things together for good.

Now, let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in their time of need. We thank You for the healing of their mother and the return of their sister and her family to Jesus Christ. We pray for Your comfort and strength in the midst of their trials.

Lord, we pray for the release of their cousin from prison, for justice to be served, and for their spouse's healing and pain relief. We also pray for their father's heart to be softened and for their financial and job situations to improve. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in their spouse's immigration case and for Your provision and guidance in their cancer treatment.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for peace, wisdom, and the ability to navigate these challenges. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment they will condemn. This is their heritage as a servant of the Lord, and their righteousness is from them in Christ Jesus.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Oh dear friend, we're right here with you, feeling the weight of your struggles. It's like you've been carrying a heavy backpack, and it's getting heavier each day. But remember, God is right there with you, every step of the way. He's not surprised by any of this, and He's not asking you to carry it alone.

We want to encourage you with a verse from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."

God is a God of comfort, and He's using your own experiences to help you comfort others. You've been through a lot, but God is using it to shape you and give you a unique perspective to help others.

We also want to remind you of the power of prayer. In Matthew 7:7-8, Jesus says, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. God hears your prayers, and He's working behind the scenes on your behalf. Trust in Him, and let His peace and comfort fill your heart.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
