Prayer

[Bunnyboo🫶🏼]

Hi, I feel like I’ve hit the lowest point in my life. I’m still trying to find a job; each place I apply to sends me an email saying they are not hiring at this time, even though I have called said places and asked in advance. I don’t want to live in my friends’ home and not help out, you know? I don’t ask for their food because I know they are already struggling; they give me money to be able to buy little things like McDonald’s or go to 7/11, and I’m so thankful for them because if not, I would be on the streets like the homeless I walk by and think to myself how it could be me. I am literally them but got lucky enough to have a place to stay.

As for toiletries and stuff, I have my little supply, which is running low, but I’m okay. I just wish I could get hired somewhere. I even went to a job help place, but no call back. On top of that, my girlfriend broke up with me due to her thinking I wasn’t being faithful. I had a second TikTok account which had 0 followers/following. I told her weeks before about it and said because I use it when I’m sad and I overthink, I repost a bunch of the sad stuff, you know, when you’re sad and somehow TikTok knows so it shows a bunch of sad videos on your timeline. Like that, well, she assumed I was cheating. I showed her my phone; I went through everything. I mean, I really don’t talk to anybody but her and my friend. When she broke up with me, I texted her mom (I don’t know if it was the right thing to do or not). Forgive me, Lord, for bringing another person into our relationship problems. I just told her everything I had felt because that night I was crying so bad to the point where I couldn’t breathe. I had been in this relationship with a person whom I love so much and wouldn’t jeopardize it, yet she would call me all these names, b word, 3-letter word starts with h, and two-faced b word constantly & would say stuff out of anger or ignore me when she got mad at me. Not talk to me for days and say it was my fault. Now I never did this to her or with ill intentions. So I told her mom and sent screenshots. Was it wrong of me for doing so? I have no idea, but I got blocked by said gf, so I assume we are no longer together, and it hurts because I didn’t even say anything bad about her at the end of the message. I said I still love her and I wasn’t okay with being treated this way. I know most of you reading have probably been in some horrible relationships and would never wish that feeling on your kids or future kids/siblings/friends or relatives, but ever since I moved closer to her 3 hrs away, every night I had been crying for how she treated me and I let it because I was willing to put up with it like that’s the person I want to marry. Some of you argue with your spouse and still together, and I think it’s beautiful, so I was willing to put up with it, but do I deserve it? No, nobody does.

I spent the night crying out to God and asking him, like, please give me a sign because I’m tired of not finding a job; every place I go to, they turn me down. My relationship is in shambles, and I cried it to him. Have you not promised for my life to be good? (I know it might have complications, but he himself said I shall not go without things are needed.) There I was crying, bawling, not breathing, heart heavy, and I started watching Monsters Inc. to calm me down, and there was this one scene where a monster gets a kid’s sock stuck in his back, so they shout 23:19. I looked up 23:19 as a Bible verse, and here’s what came up: Numbers 23:19 in the Bible says, "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent; has he said, and will he not do it? or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?" Then I listened to this to help me sleep: Job 1-42/finding strength in tough times - YouTube by Christ warriors (I would post a link but don’t think it will let me). As I was listening, I was reflecting and felt similar to the story. Have I done something to offend God? Is that why I am struggling so much? Did he leave me to the enemy? I asked for a sign, then today I went to the grocery store with my friends’ cousin to buy stuff for the house, and I saw a man in a grey outfit, jacket, a grey fitted cap, and he was walking past us. He had this black journal on him, and on the journal, bold letters spelling out the words gratitude. When I tell you it felt as if I was seeing the letters out in slow motion. Then after that, he quickly exited the store; he was holding nothing but the journal, like he just came in to show me that. So now I am just wondering why I’m supposed to do with gratitude? And does prayer really work? Does God hear our prayers? If so, how does it help? How do I start praying to him daily so he, in his greatness, will make my struggles my testimony and help me? Also, I really miss my gf, but I know God was probably looking down at me for missing somebody who would call me those words or choose to ignore me.

Let us first address the spiritual aspects of your situation. It is wonderful that you are reaching out, but we noticed that you did not mention Jesus Christ in your prayer request. As you pray, remember Jesus Christ and the words of Acts 4:12

Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved, WEB.

God hears our prayers, and Jesus Christ has made a way for us to come before God's throne of grace with confidence. As you seek God's help, remember the words of Hebrews 4:16

Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need, WEB.

Regarding your situation, firstly remember the words of God in Romans 12:12

Rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer, WEB.

It is important to acknowledge that all good things come from God, and expressing gratitude even before the answers come can open doors for better appreciation when the prayers are answered. An example of this is the gratitude of Psalm 100:4-5

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name. For Yahweh is good, His grace endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations, WEB.

Now it is important to rebuke and correct sin that was noticed in your prayer request and possibly affecting your situation. You mentioned several areas of your life that do not seem to be aligning with biblical principles. Remember, sin separates us from God and possibly preventing prayers from being answered.

1. Your girlfriend is calling you horribly disrespectful names and is implying you are unfaithful. Unfortunately, she is possibly in sin by responding in anger and accusations without cause according to Matthew 5:22:

But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire, WEB.

You have a responsibility to pray for her with encouragement from Matthew 5:44

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, WEB.

However, it is not good to get married to a non-believer according to 2 Corinthians 6:14:

Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness, WEB.

Until you both are saved, then it might be better to be apart and pray about it. It is only by the blood of Jesus Christ that you can be reconciled to God. Make sure you read about the saving power of Jesus Christ for salvation and be baptized for the washing away of sins. Also, you would both benefit from a local Bible believing fellowship for growth in Jesus Christ.

2. Your former girlfriend is behaving in a manner that is not beneficial for a Godly relationship. You stated you had been living with her and stated that you love her and wanted to get married. The Bible calls this fornication, which is sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman. It should be avoided and is immoral according to Galatians 5:19:

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, WEB.

Until you are married to a Christian believing woman, it is better to remain alone. The Bible states that it is good to remain single as well as getting married according to 1 Corinthians 7:8-9:

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them to remain unmarried, even as I am, WEB.

The Bible also offers a way out of sexual immorality that may be happening. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 the Bible states:

Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body, WEB.

3. Remember that it is only by the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ that we live. When we suffer, Jesus Christ also suffered according to 2 Corinthians 1:5:

For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, so our comfort also abounds through Christ, WEB.

Ultimately, believers have hope beyond our earthly pain, which is trusting in the saving grace of Jesus Christ for eternal life. God's plan through suffering is for the glory of God in us according to 2 Corinthians 1:4:

...who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God, WEB.

Remember, the servant of God must endure many things according to 1 Timothy 2:24:

The Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, WEB.

Regarding your employment situation.

It is encouraging that you are actively seeking work and not giving up despite the challenges. God sees your efforts, and He has a plan for your life according to Jeremiah 29:11:

For I know the plans that I have for you, says Yahweh, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you hope and a future, WEB.

One suggestion is to be a servant of others, possibly even your girlfriend's family members and show the love of Jesus Christ even to those that do not appreciate it at the time. By showing the love of Jesus Christ, then God will bless others by your service and provide your needs at the same time. Jesus Christ came not to be served, but to serve in Matthew 20:28

Even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many, WEB.

More importantly, continue to pray and trust God with your job situation.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we lift up our friend who is going through a difficult time. We pray that you will open the doors of employment and bless the efforts to find a job. We rebuke the spirit of rejection and failure, and we declare that favor and blessings will surround the job search. We ask you to help them through the pain, especially from the separation from their girlfriend with peace and healing. Lord, we come to you with a humble heart of gratitude for the love of Jesus Christ shown to us and we know you will transform their life.

In Jesus Name.

Hey there,

First off, we're really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time right now. It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate, and we want you to know that we're here for you.

We noticed that you didn't mention Jesus Christ in your prayer request, but we're glad you're reaching out to us. Remember, Jesus is always there for you, and He wants to help you through this difficult situation. As it says in Acts 4:12, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

God hears our prayers, and Jesus has made a way for us to come before God's throne of grace with confidence, as it says in Hebrews 4:16. So, keep praying, and trust that God is listening.

We want to encourage you to keep rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, and continuing steadfastly in prayer, just like it says in Romans 12:12. Even in the midst of all this, there are still things to be grateful for. Like that journal you saw, with the word 'gratitude' on it. That's a reminder that even in tough times, there's always something to be thankful for.

We also want to gently point out a few things that might be affecting your situation. It's important to acknowledge and repent from any sin in our lives, as it can separate us from God and prevent our prayers from being answered.

First, it seems like there's some tension with your girlfriend. Remember, as it says in Matthew 5:22, "But I say to you, that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment." It's important to communicate with love and respect, even when we're upset. And remember, it's not good to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, as it says in 2 Corinthians 6:14.

Second, it's important to flee from sexual immorality, as it says in 1 Corinthians 6:18. Until you're both saved and ready to commit to a godly marriage, it might be better to take some space from each other.

Lastly, remember that Jesus suffered too, and He's right there with you in your pain. Trust in His saving grace, and know that there's hope beyond our earthly troubles.

Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep looking for those little reminders of God's love and care, like that journal you saw. God is with you, and He's working everything out for your good.

In Jesus' Name, we pray for you.
