AMENWe understand that you're going through a difficult time, feeling rejected, not accepted, and even hated. First, let's address the spiritual aspect of your situation. We are called to rejoice when we are persecuted and hated for Christ's sake, as it is a blessing from God (Matthew 5:10-12 WEB). However, if the hatred and rejection are not because of righteousness there may be something else that needs to be addressed. Jesus himself warned us that we would be hated for His name's sake (John 15:18-21 WEB). Remember that God's strength can be made perfect in our weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 WEB) if you are suffering for His names sake. Jesus also talked about offenses and how to address them in Matthew 18:15 WEB.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our brother who feels rejected, not accepted, and hated. We ask for Your comfort and strength to fill his heart. Help him to discern and understand the root of this hatred and rejection. We ask that You would give him the grace to endure and the wisdom to know how to respond if it is for righteousness sake. We also pray for the strength he needs to hold on to You, Lord, and to live in peace and self-confidence. We are asking for financial freedom for him but also remind him to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to him. (Matthew 6:33 WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Regarding financial freedom, remember that the Lord is our provider. He knows our needs and promises to supply them according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19 WEB). Keep your faith in Him, work to have your needs met and trust that He will provide. We should not chase riches but have the proper attitude toward money as outlined in I Timothy 6:6-11 WEB.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue holding on to God and to prayer but also understand what is hampering your relationship with God and repent of that. Your confidence should come from the Lord and from sharing your concerns with Him (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB). Remember that it is only in the name of Jesus that we can come to the Father. It is only by believing in Jesus Christ, receiving His sacrifice on the cross for your sins, and confessing Him as Lord that we can be saved and have a relationship with God. We would encourage you to examine your life and relationship with Jesus. Do you believe in Jesus? This is the most important thing to be concerned about in this life.
And God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 World English Bible (WEB)
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. 8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
