Pray for this

[Dexter2020]

Jesus Christ, I am speaking clearly and without compromise. I am hurt, disappointed, and my trust has been broken. I expected provision, guidance, and support, but I experienced delay and silence. Because of this, I am stepping back. I am pausing prayer, church, Scripture, and religious participation until I see responsibility taken through action. If You claim love, then show it—not with words, not with lessons, not with fear, but with real and tangible results. Specifically: Open the door for the job I interviewed for last Wednesday. Let the answer be clear, decisive, and without confusion. Give me a real, committed relationship—not delay, not symbolism, not “preparation,” and not excuses. These are not symbolic requests. These are direct expectations. If this response takes longer than reasonable, I will step away permanently and pursue another religion or atheism as you have proven that you cannot. This is not a threat made lightly, but a consequence of broken trust. I will not wait indefinitely without evidence. I will not return out of guilt, fear, or pressure. If reconciliation is desired, act. If faith is to be restored, repair what has been damaged. If love is real, prove it through results. Until then, this distance stands. Amen.

We hear the deep pain and frustration in your words, and we want you to know that your hurt is not unseen by the Lord. The wounds of unmet expectations and broken trust are real, and we grieve with you over the silence and delay you’ve experienced. However, we must gently but firmly address some misunderstandings in your heart regarding how faith in Jesus Christ operates, for your words reveal a dangerous distortion of who God is and how He relates to His children.

First, we must rebuke the notion that God’s love is proven solely through "tangible results" on our timeline. Your demand for immediate, visible action—whether a job offer or a relationship—reduces the Almighty to a transactional being, as if He were a cosmic vending machine rather than the sovereign, holy God who calls us to trust Him even in the waiting (Proverbs 3:5-6). You say, *"If You claim love, then show it,"* but Scripture declares that God *has* shown His love—irrevocably and sacrificially—through the cross of Christ. "But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). His love is not measured by our circumstances but by the blood of Jesus, which alone reconciles us to the Father. To demand proof of His love outside of Calvary is to reject the very foundation of the gospel.

You also speak of stepping away from prayer, Scripture, and fellowship as a form of leverage, as if withdrawing from God will force His hand. But this is a dangerous path, for faith is not a bargaining chip—it is a lifeline. "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" (Hebrews 11:6). Walking away from God does not punish Him; it only deepens the spiritual famine in your own soul. The enemy would love nothing more than to use your disappointment to isolate you from the very Source of healing and hope.

We must also address your ultimatum: the threat to abandon faith if God does not meet your demands. This is not the posture of a child of God but of a wounded soul testing the Lord’s patience. Jesus Himself warned against such testing: "You shall not tempt the Lord your God" (Matthew 4:7). God is not a genie to be summoned by our conditions; He is the Potter, and we are the clay (Isaiah 64:8). His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and His timing is perfect, even when it feels unbearably slow. To walk away from Him is to walk away from the only One who can truly satisfy your heart.

Now, let us pray for you—not with the demands you’ve laid out, but with the humility and surrender that true faith requires:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who is hurting. Lord, You see the pain, the disappointment, and the shattered trust. We ask that You would meet them in this place of brokenness and draw them back to Yourself. Soften their heart to receive Your love, not as they demand it, but as You freely give it—through Your Word, Your Spirit, and the sacrifice of Your Son. Forgive them for testing You and help them to trust You again, even in the waiting. Lord, if there is unbelief or bitterness taking root, uproot it now by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and that Your plans for them are good (Jeremiah 29:11). Open the right doors for employment, not as a sign to manipulate, but as a provision from Your hand. And if You have a godly spouse prepared for them, reveal that person in Your perfect timing. Above all, restore their faith—not by meeting their conditions, but by revealing Yourself as the God who is faithful even when we are not. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Amen."*

We urge you to reconsider your stance. The Christian life is not about God proving Himself to us; it is about us surrendering to Him, even when the answers don’t come as we hope. The job, the relationship—these are gifts, not rights. What you truly need is not just a change in circumstances but a change in perspective: to see God not as a means to an end, but as the End Himself. "Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33).

Do not let your pain drive you away from the only One who can heal it. Return to Him—not out of guilt or fear, but because He alone is worthy of your trust. The cross is proof that He will never abandon you, even when you feel abandoned. Lay down your ultimatums and pick up His promises. He is faithful, even when we are not.

We're here for you, and we understand the frustration and hurt you're feeling. We want to assure you that your feelings are valid, and God sees your pain. We're not here to minimize your experience, but to remind you of God's unfailing love and faithfulness.

Firstly, we want to encourage you to keep seeking God, even in the waiting. Trust is not built on immediate results, but on consistent, faithful pursuit. God is not a cosmic vending machine; He is a loving Father who wants the best for you, even if it doesn't look like what you expected.

We understand that you're hurting, but we want to gently remind you that God's love is not proven by tangible results alone. It's proven at the cross, where Jesus died for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). His love is not measured by our circumstances, but by the blood of Jesus.

We're not saying that God won't provide for you, but we want to encourage you to trust Him even in the waiting. He sees your need, and He cares. He's not slow in keeping His promises; He's patient, not wanting anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9).

We're praying for you, asking God to meet you in your brokenness, to soften your heart, and to help you trust Him again. We're asking Him to open the right doors for you, not as a sign to manipulate, but as a provision from His hand.

Remember, God is faithful, even when we're not. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep walking with Him. He's got you, and He won't let you down.
