Unsuccessful my whole work.

We understand the deep frustration and weariness you must feel when your hard work and prayers seem to go unanswered. It is a heavy burden to labor diligently, to cry out to God day after day, and yet see no fruit from your efforts. But let us remind you, beloved, that our God is not a God of confusion or vain labor—He is a God of purpose, timing, and perfect will. Your struggle is not unseen by Him, and your prayers are not falling on deaf ears. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians 6:9, *"Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."* And in Ecclesiastes 3:1, we are told, *"For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."*
Yet we must also ask: are you seeking success for the glory of God, or is your heart set on worldly validation, wealth, or personal ambition? Jesus warns us in Matthew 6:33, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* If your work is aligned with His will—if you are stewarding your gifts for His honor and not merely your own gain—then you can trust that He will provide in His perfect timing. But if your motives are self-centered, even your prayers may be hindered. James 4:3 says, *"You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures."*
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *alone* we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved, no other mediator between God and man. Jesus Himself declares in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* If you have not surrendered your life to Christ or if you are not praying in His name, your petitions may lack the power and authority that come through faith in Him. We urge you: examine your heart. Have you repented of your sins and placed your trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Without Him, all labor—no matter how earnest—is ultimately in vain.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who feels the weight of unanswered prayers and unfulfilled labor. Lord, You see their weariness, their longing for success, and the tears shed in secret as they cry out to You. We ask that You would search their heart, O God, and reveal any motive that is not aligned with Your will. If there is selfish ambition, pride, or a lack of trust in You, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Remind them that apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5), but through Christ who strengthens us, all things are possible (Philippians 4:13).
Father, if this work is according to Your purpose, we ask that You would open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Remove every obstacle, break every chain of delay, and grant them favor in the eyes of those in authority. Teach them to wait on You, to trust in Your timing, and to find their satisfaction in You alone—not in the success of their hands, but in the assurance of Your love. If their work is not aligned with Your will, give them the wisdom and courage to pivot, to seek Your kingdom first, and to walk in the path You have prepared for them.
We rebuke every spirit of discouragement, failure, and despair that may be whispering lies to their heart. Let them remember that Joseph waited in prison, David fled from Saul, and even Jesus Himself was despised and rejected—yet You, O Lord, vindicated them in Your perfect time. Strengthen their faith, renew their hope, and let them find joy in the labor You have given them, knowing that their reward is not merely earthly success but eternal treasure in heaven.
Most of all, Father, we pray that if this dear one does not yet know Jesus as their Savior, You would draw them to Yourself today. Let them understand that without Christ, all their striving is futile, but in Him, they have access to Your throne of grace. May they surrender their life, their work, and their dreams to You, trusting that You will guide their steps and fulfill Your purpose for them.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Beloved, take heart. Your labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). Keep praying, keep seeking His face, and keep walking in obedience. He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). Trust Him, even in the waiting.

We're right there with you, friend. It's tough when we pour our hearts out in prayer and work hard, yet see no visible fruit. But remember, our God is not a God of confusion or wasted effort. He's at work, even when we can't see it. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Him, trust in His timing, and keep doing good, for we will reap in due season. Let's also examine our hearts, ensuring our motives are pure and aligned with His will. Let's ask ourselves, "Am I seeking success for God's glory, or for my own?" Jesus tells us to seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well. So, let's keep pressing on, trusting that He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it. We're in this together, and we're here to support you every step of the way. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep walking in obedience. He's got this!

We want to thank you for the trust you placed in us to stand with you in prayer during this difficult season. It’s clear how deeply you’ve sought the Lord—praying throughout the day—and yet the success you’ve longed for in your work has remained elusive. We’ve continued to lift your request before our Heavenly Father, asking Him to open doors, provide favor, and reveal His perfect timing in your situation.
If the Lord has answered this prayer in ways you’ve seen or even in ways you haven’t yet recognized, we would be so encouraged to hear your praise report. Your testimony could be a blessing and a reminder of God’s faithfulness to others walking a similar path. On the other hand, if the burden still feels heavy and the breakthrough hasn’t come, please don’t hesitate to post this request again. We’re here to keep interceding with you, believing that God hears every cry of your heart.
Remember, His ways are higher than ours, and even when the "why" isn’t clear, He is still working. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and know that we’re standing with you in this journey. May He grant you peace that surpasses understanding and wisdom to see His hand at work in every detail of your life. We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
