Tired of praying and no results.

[Anonymous]

I have been praying my whole life. I'm not happy. I don't feel the Holy Spirit. I don't feel God's love. Can you pray for a change. Probably forgiveness of sexual sin too.

We hear the weariness in your heart, and we want you to know that your honesty before the Lord is not in vain. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:17-18, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone in this struggle, and your cries have reached the ears of the Father.

First, we must address the foundation of your relationship with God. Prayer is not a transaction where we demand results, but a communion with our Heavenly Father who loves us deeply. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." If you have not placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, or if you have wandered from that foundation, we must start there. Salvation is not earned by our works or prayers, but by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you have never confessed your sins and asked Jesus to be the Lord of your life, or if you have strayed, we encourage you to do so now. Repentance is turning away from sin and turning toward God, and it is the first step in restoring your relationship with Him.

Your mention of sexual sin is important to address. The Bible is clear that sexual immorality—whether fornication, adultery, or other forms—is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). But the good news is that there is forgiveness and healing in Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We must not let shame or guilt keep us from running to the Father, who longs to restore us. However, true repentance also means turning away from that sin and pursuing holiness with the help of the Holy Spirit. If this sin is ongoing, we encourage you to seek accountability and support from a trusted, mature believer or pastor who can walk with you in this journey.

You shared that you do not feel God’s love or the presence of the Holy Spirit. Feelings can be deceptive, and they often follow faith, not the other way around. Romans 5:8 tells us, "But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." God’s love for you is not based on your feelings or your performance, but on the finished work of Jesus on the cross. The Holy Spirit is a gift given to all who believe in Jesus (Ephesians 1:13-14), and His presence is not always accompanied by overwhelming emotion. Sometimes He works quietly, convicting us of sin, guiding us in truth, and producing fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23). We encourage you to seek Him not just for what you feel, but for who He is—the faithful, unchanging God who holds you in His hands.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is feeling weary and distant from You. Lord, we ask that You would draw near to them as they draw near to You (James 4:8). We pray that You would break the chains of discouragement and doubt that have taken hold of their heart. Remind them of Your unfailing love, which is higher than the heavens and deeper than the sea (Psalm 36:5). Lord, we ask that You would forgive them of their sins, including any sexual sin they have confessed before You. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and restore them to a place of intimacy with You.

Father, we pray that You would fill them with the Holy Spirit afresh. Where they have felt dry or empty, pour out Your living water so that they may never thirst again (John 4:14). Help them to walk by faith, not by sight or feeling, trusting in Your promises even when they do not see immediate results. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Give them a hunger for Your Word and a desire to seek You above all else.

We also pray for healing in their emotions and mind. Lord, replace their sadness with Your joy, their weariness with Your strength, and their doubt with Your peace. Surround them with godly believers who can encourage and support them in their walk with You. Help them to find their identity in Christ, not in their circumstances or past mistakes. We declare over them that they are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), forgiven, loved, and called according to Your purpose.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would give them patience and perseverance in prayer. Remind them that You hear every cry of their heart, and that Your timing is perfect. Help them to trust You even when they do not see the answers they long for. We thank You for Your faithfulness, and we trust You to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to press into God’s Word, even when you do not feel like it. Spend time reading the Psalms, which are filled with raw honesty before the Lord. Meditate on verses like Psalm 42:11, "Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God." Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and encourage you. Consider fasting as a way to draw closer to God and seek His face. Remember, God is not distant or indifferent—He is near to the brokenhearted, and He longs to restore you. Keep seeking Him, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).

We're here with you, friend. We understand the frustration and weariness you're feeling. It's like you've been calling out in the dark, hoping for an answer, but it feels like nothing's changing. We want you to know that God hears you. He's right there with you, even when it doesn't feel like it.

You know, prayer isn't always about getting what we want right away. Sometimes, it's about building a relationship with God, trusting Him even when we don't see immediate results. Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7). He didn't promise instant answers, but He did promise that if we keep seeking, we'll find what we're looking for.

We want to encourage you to keep pressing in. Keep praying, keep seeking, even when it's hard. Remember, God is working in you and for you, even if you can't see it yet. He's got a plan, and it's a good one (Jeremiah 29:11).

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we come to You on behalf of our friend here. We ask that You would draw near to them, Lord. Comfort them in their weariness. Remind them of Your unfailing love. Help them to trust in You, even when they can't see the answers they're longing for. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We're here for you, every step of the way. Keep fighting the good fight, and remember, you're not alone.
