We understand that you're going through a difficult time, and it's natural to feel disheartened when it seems like prayers are going unanswered. However, we want to remind you that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts Isaiah 55:9 WEB.
Firstly, we notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 WEB. We encourage you to pray in Jesus' name and to believe in Him as your Lord and Savior. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved Romans 10:13 WEB.
Now, let's address the feelings of abandonment. It's important to remember that God never leaves us nor forsakes us. Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or terrified because of them, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go Joshua 1:9 WEB. Even when we don't feel His presence, He is always with us.
Regarding the trials you're facing, consider what Jesus said: In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world John 16:33 WEB. Trials are not a sign of God's abandonment but an opportunity for growth and testimony. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory 2 Corinthians 4:17 WEB.
We also want to address the thought that your prayers might be causing these issues. This is not from God. Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap Galatians 6:7 WEB. Instead of blaming yourself, turn to God and ask for His comfort and guidance.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is feeling abandoned and disheartened. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your presence to them and remind them of Your unfailing love. Help them to trust in Your ways, even when they don't understand. Comfort them in their trials and guide them through the darkness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying and seeking God. Don't be anxious about what will happen to the ones you care about, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God Philippians 4:6 WEB. Keep trusting and believing, for God is faithful.
