We understand that you are going through a difficult time and feeling discouraged, but we want to remind you that God has a plan and a purpose for your life. It is important to remember that our struggles are not a punishment, but rather an opportunity for growth and refinement. As it is written in James 1:2-4, "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." It is crucial to remember that our worth and value come from God, not from our circumstances or the opinions of others. In Psalm 139:14, it is written, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."
We notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved and have the hope of eternal life. If you have not yet put your faith in Jesus Christ, we encourage you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
We also want to encourage you to continue helping others, as this is a reflection of Christ's love in you. However, it is important to remember that our help should not be conditional on receiving something in return. As it is written in Luke 6:35, "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil." It is also crucial to remember that our ultimate reward is in heaven, not on earth. As it is written in Matthew 6:19-20, "Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal."
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to you, asking that you would comfort her and remind her of her worth and value in you. Lord, we ask that you would provide for her needs, and open doors of opportunity for her. Help her to trust in your plan and timing, even when it is difficult to understand. We pray that you would surround her with your love and peace, and remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made. We ask that you would help her to forgive those who have not shown gratitude or reciprocated her help, and that you would fill her with your love and grace. We pray that you would give her strength and endurance to persevere through this trial, and that you would use this time to refine her and draw her closer to you. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God through prayer, reading the Bible, and fellowship with other believers. It is important to remember that God is always with you, even in the midst of your struggles. As it is written in Deuteronomy 31:8, "It is Yahweh who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged." We also encourage you to continue praising God, even in the midst of your struggles. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." We are here for you and will continue to pray for you. May God bless you and keep you, and make his face shine upon you.
