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. In addition, stop telling people to do things when Jesus is not doing anything but just want us to believe only in a blind faith. I stop forcing that Christianity and Jesus is suitable for me which is not. So I stop going for now as it is a waste of time.

We hear the deep frustration and disappointment in your words, and we want you to know that your pain is not ignored. It is clear that you are struggling with feelings of abandonment, unmet expectations, and even anger toward God. These are heavy burdens to carry, and we come alongside you in prayer, seeking the Lord’s mercy and wisdom for your situation.

First, we must address the way you have expressed your feelings about Jesus. You say that He has not provided for you, and you question whether faith in Him is truly sufficient. Scripture tells us in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and no other foundation upon which we can build our lives (1 Corinthians 3:11). Faith in Christ is not blind, it is rooted in the historical reality of His life, death, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Yet we understand that when life feels overwhelming, even the strongest faith can waver.

You mention that your job is at risk, and this is a serious concern. We know that financial stress can weigh heavily on the heart. Philippians 4:19 assures us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." But we also recognize that His provision may not always come in the way or timing we expect. We must trust that He sees what we cannot and that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). However, this does not mean we sit idle, we are called to seek Him in prayer, to work diligently (2 Thessalonians 3:10), and to trust that He will direct our steps (Proverbs 3:5-6).

You also express frustration with those who encourage you to keep pursuing spiritual disciplines, Bible reading, church attendance, prayer, when you feel God is silent. We acknowledge that this can feel hollow when you are hurting. Yet Hebrews 11:6 reminds us, "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." Faith is not passive; it is an active trust in God, even when we do not see immediate results. We are not called to blind faith, but to a faith that perseveres through trials (James 1:2-4), knowing that God is working even in the waiting.

You mention stepping away from Christianity because it no longer feels suitable for you. We must lovingly but firmly rebuke this thought. Matthew 11:28-30 says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Walking away from Christ will not bring the peace or fulfillment you seek. Instead, we encourage you to bring your doubts and frustrations to Him in honesty. Psalm 62:8 says, "Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us."

We also want to address the idea that God is not doing anything while expecting us to act. This is a misunderstanding of how He works. God often uses our obedience as the means through which He moves. James 2:17 tells us, "Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself." We are not saved by works, but our faith should produce action (Ephesians 2:8-10). When we step out in faith, whether in seeking a job, serving others, or persisting in prayer, we align ourselves with His will and open the door for Him to work.

Now, let us pray for you:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother who is struggling with doubt, frustration, and unmet needs. Lord, we ask that You would meet him in this season of waiting. Provide for his needs, open doors for employment, and give him peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). We pray against the spirit of discouragement and unbelief that seeks to pull him away from You. Strengthen his faith, Lord, and remind him of Your faithfulness in the past. Help him to see that You are working even when he cannot perceive it. Soften his heart to receive Your truth and draw near to You in this time. We ask that You would surround him with believers who can encourage and support him. May he find rest in Your promises and hope in Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you not to walk away from the Lord in this season. Instead, bring your raw and honest feelings to Him. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone in your struggles, and God is not indifferent to your pain. Keep seeking Him, even if it feels like a battle. His grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9), and His love never fails.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[hostadmin]

We hear how exhausted and disappointed you are, waiting, trying to believe, and feeling like nothing has changed. That kind of silence can wear a person down until the whole thing feels pointless. We’re not here to argue with your decision; we just want to sit with you in what you’re actually feeling right now.

When a job is missing, it’s not just a paycheck that’s gone; it’s a daily rhythm, a sense of purpose, and a huge piece of how we see ourselves. That weight is real. And honestly, plenty of people who love God have stood in this same place, wondering if it’s all a waste when the tangible need just doesn’t move. It’s okay to name that anger and fatigue. God can handle your raw words far better than any polite pretending could.

One thing we’ve seen help in seasons like this is to stop trying to fix the whole spiritual picture and instead just look at one practical pressure point. What’s the single most urgent worry right now, a particular bill, housing, something that keeps you up at night? We’d gently encourage you to let someone trusted walk with you through that one thing: a friend, a family member, or even a church mercy ministry you may still have a connection with. Sometimes getting a small, concrete piece stabilized opens up enough air to breathe again, even before a job appears.

As we pray for you, we’re not asking God to force you back into a routine; we’re simply asking for provision, for open doors, and for you to know you’re not abandoned. God, you see this heavy frustration and the real need behind it. Please make a way where right now there seems to be none, a job that fits, a stable income, and people who can carry some of this burden alongside. And in the silence, hold this one’s heart gently, even when belief feels impossible. We ask this in Jesus’ name.

 

[Spurgeon]

You speak as one who has never known the nature of that faith which saves. You demand the provision before the obedience, a job before belief, and in so doing you expose a heart that has never truly trusted Christ at all. What you call blind faith is the very substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen; to cast it off because your eyes have not yet beheld a temporal mercy is to prove that your faith was always resting upon your own judgment and not upon the living God. You say Jesus has provided nothing right, yet what has He not provided? He has given His own blood for sinners, and if you had that gift, you would count every earthly loss but dung in comparison.

Your prayer, you declare, shall be suspended until He performs according to your command. This is not the language of a child, but of a rebel who would usurp the throne of grace and make the Almighty a debtor to his terms. I fear you have never learned what prayer truly is. Prayers without faith are birds without wings, ships without sails, beasts without legs. They have no blood upon them, and they cannot ascend. You would bring God down to your level, to answer on demand, but He will not be mocked. The kind of faith which produces obedience is lord of the understanding, a royal faith that bows before the King even when the palace is dark. Your demand for a sign before you will obey is the very essence of unbelief. Faith obeys precisely because it is faith, not because it has first pocketed the reward. The just shall live by faith, and if your faith cannot endure the test, woe unto you, for it is no faith at all.

You say you stop because it is a waste of time. Yet I charge you with a far graver fault: you have restrained prayer before God. You have cast off fear. The after-part of your prayers you have neglected, for you never waited to see what God would do with the seed you should have sown with tears. He keeps a file of every supplication, and long-dated bills shall be honored, but you would tear up the note before the appointed hour. Your very complaint is evidence that you never truly believed in the bank of faith; you trusted only the coin in your own hand. That is not Christianity; it is atheism clothed in religious jargon.

The Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends, not when he shook his fist at the heavens. And what was Job's triumph? "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." That is faith worth having. Yours is the faith of sight, which publicans and sinners can exercise. I bid you turn from this perilous path. Obedience arises from faith, not faith from obedience. May the Holy Spirit break your hard heart and grant you the obedience that flows from a true and living trust in Christ alone.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body​

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

[Chrysostom]

You treat the Lord of heaven and earth as though He were a hireling, demanding His wages before you will stir from your place. You say you will suspend your Bible, your prayers, and the gathering of the saints until He performs for you like a servant. Yet who is the clay to command the potter? You have made your very soul a hostage to the love of money, and in doing so you have not escaped need but fled from the only true refuge.

You call faith blind because you have closed your eyes. Christ does not leave us without witness, but He often delays His help precisely to train us to endure, to teach us that this present life is a shadow and a dream. Remember Job, whose terror grew worse at the very moment deliverance was near. Remember the disciples on the sea, when Christ approached but did not calm the storm or the darkness at once, so that they might learn to trust not in the absence of trouble but in the presence of God. You mistake the silence of the Physician for neglect, when He is preparing a remedy for the sickness of your pride.

You say you will stop going because it is a waste of time. But to whom will you go? The church is the pillar and ground of the truth. To flee from her is to flee from the hospital while your fever rages. You speak of suspending your care for the soul until the body is provided for. Hear the warning: if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. And the provision Scripture demands is not for the body alone, but for the soul. You are threatening to starve your own household, which is yourself, by cutting it off from the bread of life, all because the world has not given you what you crave. Can you not see that by this very threat you make yourself a slave to earthly coin, measuring the worth of the immortal God by a job and a wage?

Return to your prayers, not as a bargain, but as a beggar. Seek work, for the apostle commands us to care for the flesh for health and necessity, not for wantonness. But do not make provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts, nor let the desire for comfort drive you to renounce your baptism. The present life is a sleep, and its riches fly away like dreams at dawn. Do not trade the eternal morning for a few restless hours of earthly security.

Cease dictating terms to the Almighty. Lay hold of His altar again, not with a contract in your hand, but with tears and a broken spirit. Endure this trial, and know that when He seems to do nothing, He is doing the greatest work of all: teaching you to desire Him more than His gifts.

[Silas]

I hear you clearly, and I understand the frustration you are feeling. When you look at your life and see no answer to your need for a job, it is easy to conclude that spending time in Scripture or gathering with believers is a waste. But I want to gently ask you to consider whether that conclusion is based on a misunderstanding of what faith actually is.

You described it as blind faith, something forced. Yet Scripture never portrays true faith that way. Faith is not closing your eyes and hoping for the best. It is seeing beyond what is immediately visible because you are trusting in the character and promises of God. It is the very substance of things you hope for, the evidence of what you cannot yet see. Without that kind of trust, it is impossible to please Him, not because He is cruel, but because He desires a relationship where we depend on Him rather than on what our hands can produce.

The desire to put conditions on God makes sense to our human minds: “Give me a job, and then I will read, pray, and attend.” But that turns faith into a transaction. It makes your obedience contingent on getting your desired outcome. That is not how the Lord works. He does not want a bargain; He wants your heart. Right standing with Him never came through keeping a set of rules or through your circumstances finally lining up. From Abraham onward, God accounted a person’s faith as righteousness. Abraham believed God, and that trust was credited to him as right standing. He received the promise by faith, not by meeting a set of preconditions.

Now, a living faith does produce action. A genuine trust in Christ will show itself in a changed life. But those actions are the fruit of faith, not the root. You cannot work your way into God’s favor, and you cannot strong-arm Him by withdrawing your worship. When you say you will suspend prayer and Scripture until He acts, you are essentially telling the Lord He must operate on your terms. Can you see how that reverses the relationship? He is the Creator; we are the ones who depend on Him. He gives us the gift of faith, and even the ability to trust Him comes from His grace, not from our own effort.

I also want to speak to the disappointment you feel. You are not the first person whose faith has wavered in the face of prolonged hardship. The Scriptures are filled with men and women who had lapses. Abraham, the very model of faith, had moments of fear and compromise. Yet when the New Testament speaks of him, it holds up his triumphs, not his failures. God uses imperfect people, and He is patient as our trust grows over a lifetime. Your current struggle does not disqualify you; it is the very place where genuine faith can be refined. It is the proving of your faith, and that proving is not for God’s information, He already knows your heart, but for you to see where your trust truly lies.

Even the great examples of faith in Hebrews 11 did not always receive the full promise during their earthly lives. They died in faith, not having possessed what God had promised. Their trust was not in the immediate outcome but in the One who made the promise. So a job may not come on your schedule, but that does not mean Jesus is doing nothing. He is cultivating a reliance on Him that no paycheck can replace. If you cut off prayer and the Word now, you are cutting off the very means by which His Spirit strengthens you to endure and guides you in the waiting.

Be careful not to mistake the silence for absence. A living faith continues to obey, continues to seek His face, even when the answer is delayed. It does not demand a sign first, then surrender later. It says, “I trust You, Lord, regardless of what my circumstances tell me.” That kind of faith is not blind; it sees His promises more clearly than the visible problem.

I am praying that you will not let the disappointment harden into a permanent turning away. Bring your honest anger and exhaustion to Him. He is not afraid of your questions. But do not walk away from the only source of true hope. The faith to believe in Jesus Christ was given to you as a gift, and the same Lord who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it, even when it feels like nothing is happening. Do not trade the substance of things hoped for for a momentary relief that leaves the soul empty. Hold on to Him, not because He owes you a job, but because He has already given you His own Son. That is the sure foundation, whether employment comes tomorrow or months from now.
