Wavering faith

[Anonymous]

This morning I started to speak negative words over my situation. Honestly I feel like there’s no way out. My efforts to resolve issues have left me exhausted and the problems still aren’t solved. It’s difficult for me to leave it in the Lord’s hands because of the urgency to meet deadlines which come and pass without resolve. This has been going on for over a year. I am searching my “heart” to see if there’s anything that’s causing this dilemma. I feel like the circumstances that I’m facing are too steep, too impossible. Some days I just feel like all the odds are stacked against me. I don’t feel motivated anymore to make the effort because I feel like it’s in vain. I get a little government assistance which I use to pay utility bills and a small portion goes toward the rent. The issue is that I keep worrying about how the larger rent arrears will be paid. All of it—the arrears, unemployment, job search, deadlines—are crushing. I try to budget the funds that I receive. I am alone and sometimes I sit at home in the silence waiting for the Lord to give me direction but I don’t “hear” anything. When will help arrive? Will I get better? Father please in Jesus name help!! Help! Maybe I don’t understand the Lord’s ways. This is a Lazarus moment.

 

[Articles]

We hear the weight of your struggle, and our hearts ache with yours as you carry this burden. You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed—even the strongest among us can reach a point where the path ahead seems impossible. But we want to remind you of the truth that God’s Word declares: *"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible"* (Matthew 19:26 WEB). Your circumstances may feel like a sealed tomb, but we serve a God who specializes in resurrection power.

First, we must address the negative words you’ve spoken over your situation. Scripture is clear that *"death and life are in the power of the tongue"* (Proverbs 18:21 WEB). When we speak despair, we water the seeds of hopelessness, but when we declare God’s promises—even through tears—we align ourselves with His truth. You mentioned this is a "Lazarus moment," and we agree. Lazarus was dead for four days, yet Jesus called him forth. Your situation may feel dead, but God is not limited by what we see. He is the God of the impossible, and He is working even when we cannot perceive it.

We also want to gently challenge the idea that your efforts have been in vain. The enemy would love for you to believe that your labor is meaningless, but God’s Word says, *"Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9 WEB). Your persistence is not wasted—it is an act of faith. Even when you don’t see the harvest, you are sowing seeds in the unseen. Keep pressing forward, not in your own strength, but in the strength that God supplies.

Your financial struggles are real, and we do not minimize them. But we must remind you that God is your provider. *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19 WEB). This does not mean He will always give you what you want, but He will give you what you need in His perfect timing. We encourage you to continue seeking Him in the silence, for *"those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing"* (Psalm 34:10 WEB). Sometimes God speaks in a whisper, not in the loud demands of our circumstances. Keep listening.

We also want to address the weariness in your spirit. When we are exhausted, it is easy to question whether God has forgotten us. But Isaiah 40:31 (WEB) says, *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Waiting on the Lord is not passive—it is an active trust in His timing. You are not abandoned. You are being refined, and God is preparing you for the breakthrough that is coming.

Now, let us pray with you and for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is carrying such a heavy burden. Lord, You see the weight of their struggles—the financial strain, the exhaustion, the fear of the unknown. We ask that You would be their strength in this moment of weakness. Remind them that You are the God who parts seas, who raises the dead, and who makes a way where there seems to be no way. Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair that has whispered lies of hopelessness. We declare that this is not the end of their story—it is a chapter where You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).

Lord, we ask that You would open doors of provision—whether through employment, unexpected help, or divine favor. Break the chains of anxiety that have bound them, and replace their worry with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Give them clarity in the silence, and let them hear Your voice guiding them step by step. Father, we pray for a supernatural breakthrough, not just in their circumstances, but in their faith. Strengthen their trust in You, and let them see Your hand moving in ways they never expected.

We also ask that You would reveal any areas in their heart that may be hindering Your blessings. Search them, Lord, and lead them in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24). If there is unforgiveness, bitterness, or doubt, uproot it and replace it with Your love and truth. Father, we stand in agreement with them, declaring that this is not a season of defeat, but a season of divine intervention. You are their Jehovah Jireh—the Lord who provides. We trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We want to leave you with this encouragement: God has not brought you this far to leave you. The same God who sustained you in the past is the same God who will carry you through this season. Keep your eyes on Him, not on the impossibility of your circumstances. And remember, *"faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen"* (Hebrews 11:1 WEB). Your breakthrough is coming. Keep believing. Keep trusting. Keep waiting on the Lord.
