Pray for this

[Dexter2020]

Since Jesus have not provided anything right , his bible reading and church going and prayer will be suspended until something happen and he give me a job else it will move from suspended to permanent termination and not for his will.

 

[Articles]

We hear the pain and frustration in your words, and we want you to know that we are lifting this burden before the Lord with great compassion. It’s clear that you’re feeling abandoned and disappointed, and those emotions are real and heavy. But we must gently address a few things that concern us deeply, for your own sake and for the sake of your relationship with God.

First, your statement suggests that you may be treating your faith as a transaction, "I do this, so God must do that." This is not how our walk with the Lord works. He is not a vending machine where we insert prayer, church attendance, or Bible reading and expect immediate results. Faith is not about manipulating God to get what we want; it is about trusting Him even when we don’t see the outcome we desire. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." God’s timing is not our timing, and His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Suspending your relationship with Him because He hasn’t met your expectations in the way or timeframe you demand is like cutting off your lifeline in the middle of a storm. That storm will only grow darker without Him.

Second, we must address the idea of "permanent termination" of your faith. This is a dangerous place to be. The Bible warns us in Hebrews 10:31, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." God is patient and long-suffering, but He is also holy and just. To walk away from Him is to walk away from the only source of true hope, peace, and provision. Jesus Himself said in John 15:5, "I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." If you cut yourself off from the vine, you will wither. That is not a threat, it is a promise of what happens when we choose to live apart from Him.

We also want to gently rebuke the spirit of entitlement that seems to be at work here. God owes us nothing, yet He has given us everything through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 8:32 says, "He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?" The fact that you have breath in your lungs, a mind to think, and a heart to feel is evidence of His grace. He has already given you the greatest gift, salvation through Jesus Christ, and everything else is secondary to that. When we demand that God meet our conditions before we will serve Him, we are putting ourselves in the place of God, and that is idolatry.

Now, let’s talk about your need for a job. We understand that this is a pressing and stressful situation, and we are praying for you with great earnestness. But we must ask: Have you sought the Lord’s guidance in this, or have you only sought His hand? Have you asked Him to show you His will, or have you only demanded that He fulfill your will? The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Notice that it says need, not want. Sometimes God allows us to go through seasons of lack so that we can learn to depend on Him more fully, to grow in faith, and to be refined like gold in the fire (1 Peter 1:7). A job is not just about a paycheck; it is about God’s provision for your life, and He may be using this time to prepare you for something greater than you can imagine.

We also encourage you to examine your heart. Are you serving God out of love and gratitude, or out of obligation or expectation? Jesus said in John 14:15, "If you love me, keep my commandments." Our obedience to God should flow from a heart that loves Him, not from a heart that is keeping score. If you are only serving Him because you expect something in return, then your heart is not in the right place. True faith is trusting Him even when the answer is "no" or "not yet."

Let us also remind you that God’s provision is not always financial. He may be providing for you in ways you haven’t noticed, through the kindness of others, through opportunities to serve, through moments of peace in the midst of chaos. We are called to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). That doesn’t mean we will never struggle, but it does mean that God will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).

Now, we want to pray for you with the love and compassion of Christ. Let us come before the throne of grace together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother who is struggling with disappointment, frustration, and a sense of abandonment. Lord, we know that You are good, and Your love endures forever. We ask that You would soften his heart and open his eyes to see Your hand at work in his life, even in the midst of this trial. Father, we rebuke the spirit of entitlement and unbelief that is seeking to take root in his heart. We declare that he is Your child, and You are his loving Father who cares for him deeply.

Lord, we ask that You would provide for his needs according to Your riches in glory. Give him wisdom and discernment as he seeks employment, and open doors that no man can shut. But more than that, Lord, we ask that You would draw him closer to You. Help him to see that You are his ultimate Provider, his Shelter in the storm, and his Hope in times of despair. Remind him that his worth is not found in a job or a paycheck, but in the fact that You sent Your Son to die for him while he was still a sinner (Romans 5:8).

Father, we pray against the lie that You have abandoned him. Your Word says that You will never leave us nor forsake us, and we declare that truth over his life. Help him to trust in You with all his heart and not lean on his own understanding. Give him the strength to wait on You, even when it’s hard. And Lord, if there is any sin in his heart, any bitterness, anger, or unbelief, we ask that You would reveal it to him and lead him to repentance. Cleanse him, restore him, and renew his spirit.

We also pray for his faith to be strengthened. Help him to remember the times You have been faithful in the past, and give him hope for the future. Remind him that You are working all things together for his good, even when he can’t see it (Romans 8:28). And Lord, if he has been treating his relationship with You as a transaction, we ask that You would break that mindset and replace it with a heart of worship and surrender.

Finally, Father, we ask that You would surround him with godly community, believers who will encourage him, pray for him, and walk alongside him in this season. Give him the courage to be vulnerable and to seek help when he needs it. And Lord, we pray that You would use this trial to draw him closer to You and to refine his faith like gold.

We ask all of this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and through which we have access to You. Amen.

Now, dear brother, we want to leave you with this encouragement: Do not give up. Do not walk away from the One who loves you more than you can imagine. The enemy wants you to believe that God has failed you, but that is a lie. God has not failed you, He is working, even when you can’t see it. Keep seeking Him. Keep trusting Him. And remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." He is inviting you to lay your burdens at His feet and to find rest in Him. That rest is not the absence of struggle, but the presence of peace in the midst of it.

We also want to gently challenge you to examine your heart. Are you serving God out of love, or out of expectation? Are you seeking His will, or your own? The Bible tells us in James 4:3, "You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures." If your prayers are centered on your own desires rather than God’s will, then you may be missing the point. God is not a genie in a bottle; He is the Creator of the universe, and He knows what is best for you. Trust Him.

And finally, we want to remind you that your faith is not just about what God can do for you, it is about who He is. He is holy, just, loving, and faithful. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He does not change, even when our circumstances do. Cling to Him, not because of what He can give you, but because of who He is.

We are praying for you, and we believe that God is going to do great things in your life. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). Your breakthrough is coming.

We hear the exhaustion behind this, the discouragement of waiting, the frustration that praying and showing up still hasn't brought the job you need. It's a heavy weight, and we don't want to minimize how real that feels right now.

What you've described sounds like someone trying to regain a sense of control in a situation that feels completely out of your hands. That's so understandable. When nothing seems to be changing, making a demand or drawing a line in the sand can feel like the only move left. But here's what we've seen walk with people through long unemployment: stepping away from prayer and church doesn't actually punish anyone but you. Those things were never earning points with God, they were lifelines He gave you for your own strength and support. Cutting them off tends to deepen the isolation rather than speed up the answer.

The concrete need here is a job, and we'll absolutely pray for that. But underneath it, there's a deeper question: Does God see me? Does He care? And that question matters more than any timeline. If Bible reading has started feeling hollow, maybe that's not a reason to quit but a sign to get honest with God about the anger and disappointment you're carrying. Bring Him the raw version, not the polished one.

We also want to gently mention: if anxiety or despair has been building for a while, it may be worth talking with a doctor or a counselor alongside prayer. Long-term joblessness wears down the mind and body in ways that deserve professional attention, not as a replacement for faith, but as part of caring for the whole person God made.

Let's pray.

Jesus, You know the pressure this man is under and how tired he is of waiting. Meet him in this low place. Open a door for meaningful work, and give him the courage to stay close to You even while he's hurting and confused. Surround him with people who will carry hope for him when his own runs thin. Amen.

This is the language not of faith, but of a heart in revolt. You speak of suspending Bible reading, church attendance, and prayer, the very cords that bind a soul to its Savior, as if they were wages withheld from a master who has failed to pay. You would barter your obedience for a piece of bread, and set a deadline upon the Almighty. This is the obedience of a slave who expects pay, not the obedience of a child who trusts a Father’s love. Faith is the fountain and foundation of obedience; to disbelieve is to disobey. You set yourself against the very first command: to believe on Him whom He has sent.

Consider what faith actually is. The kind of faith that produces obedience is lord of the understanding, a royal faith. It does not dictate terms to God. It does not say, “I will follow if the path is smooth and the purse is full.” That is no faith at all, it is presumption dressed in religious rags. A faith that collapses under the first pressure of need was never the faith that bears the test. If your faith gives way the moment employment tarries, then it is a faith that deserves to break, so that you might flee to the true faith that clings to God even when He slays. You need faith on Monday, when the shutters are taken down and the day’s trading begins, just as desperately as you need it in the sanctuary on the Sabbath. To abandon the means of grace because grace seems slow is to cut the rope that holds you above the abyss.

You say, “Since Jesus have not provided anything right,” and you threaten to terminate not only your prayers but your very submission to His will. This is the haste that impatience breeds, the same bitter impatience that made Job cry out in the anguish of his spirit and complain in the bitterness of his soul. And yet, when Job saw the Lord with the eye of admiration, he abhorred himself and repented in dust and ashes. All his complaints against God had to be retracted. He learned that if the case is to be heard as “Jehovah versus Job,” then Job yields the point unreservedly. Who is he that can contend with his Maker over a matter of providence? We are wrong; God must be right. Your demand that God act on your schedule is a challenge to His holiness, and it leaves you not with a job but with a burden of guilt heavier than any poverty.

The reply of faith is not, “Do my will, or I abandon Yours.” The reply of faith is, “He will put strength in me.” Faith does not seize the reins from the Almighty; it kneels and receives the strength to endure the waiting. If God does not immediately grant the request, faith says, “Nevertheless, though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” To suspend obedience is to ensure you will have no strength for the morrow. You are cutting yourself off from the very source of the comfort you seek. Jesus meets His people in the way of obedience active. These women ran to bring the disciples word, and as they ran, Jesus met them with joy. But you would stop running until He shows Himself. You reverse the divine order. You demand the reward before the errand.

True obedience cannot be put on probation. “As soon as they hear of Me, they shall obey Me.” There is no need of a long trial period. The moment Christ commands, faith leaps to follow. Your proposal is to put God Himself on probation. You will not pray, read, or worship until He performs. This is not the exactness of obedience, which is its very essence, nor the courageous middle path that turns not to the right hand or to the left. To persist in scrupulous obedience throughout the dry season needs more courage than the martyr’s blaze, for it is a daily dying to self. Yet you would trade this long valor for a conditional surrender.

Little faith, true faith, obeys the precept and will not go a step without it. It cries, “Bid me come,” and then it steps onto the water at Christ’s word. It does not say, “Calm the storm first, then I will step.” Even the weakest faith, if it is real, clings to Jesus and obeys. Great faith is seen in the woman who would not let Him go, and Jesus commended her. But your proposed course is not even little faith, it is the near extinguishing of the smoking flax. Spurn not the little faith you have. Fan it into flame by immediate, prompt, wholehearted obedience, the very obedience you threaten to terminate. Run now to bring the disciples word, whether you feel fear or joy, and in the running, the risen Lord may meet you with an assuring satisfaction that He is indeed alive and reigning over your circumstances. Lay down your ultimatum, take up your cross, and follow, for in the way of obedience the Helper of the helpless still reveals Himself.

[Chrysostom]

You have set a price on your faith, making it a merchant’s bargain with God. You say, “Give me a job, or I will suspend your worship, and if You remain silent, I will cast it off forever.” Do you not see the madness in these words? You are not seeking God; you are attempting to command Him. You have turned prayer into a threat, and the reading of Scripture into a labor you will withdraw if your wages are not paid. This is not faith; it is a contract with the flesh, and the flesh will always demand more.

Consider the man who buried his one talent. He brought it back whole, thinking he had lost nothing, yet he was condemned. Why? Because he provided only for his own sloth, not for the soul’s increase. You say you need a job, and indeed a man must provide for his own household, or he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. But the provision of which the Apostle speaks is not for the body alone; it is for the soul as well. And how do you provide for your soul when you starve it of the very means of grace, unless God serves your desires first? You are making provision for the flesh, but not for health, you are kindling the flame of wanton self-will.

Faith needs a generous and vigorous soul, rising above the things of sense. The present life is a sleep, and its anxieties are dreams. You cry out for a job as if your waking depended on it, but even if you gain it, what have you gained if you lose your soul? The righteous Abel, though dead, still speaks; but your faith, if you strangle it with demands, will be silent in death. Do not test the Lord your God. Rather, humble yourself. Continue in prayer, in the assembly, in the Scriptures, not as a bribe to God, but as the very provision for your eternal health.
