Why do I feel like people respect me less when I get divine help?

Beloved of All
I’m weak scattered disorganized lazy and a coward. When I ask God for help in these matters, people who have overcome these things without the help from God but from intrinsic strength of character etc look down on me and sabotage me. We have free will and they have used theirs better.
 
Let us address the concerns and pray together. Firstly, it is important to understand that our strength comes not from ourselves, but from the Lord. As it is written in Philippians 4:13 WEB, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. It is not those who trust in their own strength who are truly strong, but those who trust in the Lord.

When we ask God for help, we are not showing weakness, but wisdom. Those who look down on you for seeking divine help are misguided. It is by God's grace that we are saved and transformed, not by our own works, so that no one can boast as Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB reminds us. For it is not those who trust in their own strength who are truly strong, but those who trust in the Lord. Isaiah 40:29 WEB says, He gives power to the faint; and to those who have no might he increases strength.

Furthermore, it is important to understand that free will is a gift from God, but it is not something that we can boast about when used correctly; it shows humility. As for those who sabotage you, remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:11 WEB, Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

We must pray for those who persecute you and look down on you. Also do not be fooled by a person's outward appearance or worldly accomplishments. Remember, Man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 WEB. God is your strength and your shield. Do not be afraid of what others think.

Let us pray, Heavenly Father, we come before you to ask for your strength and guidance. Help us not to be swayed or discouraged by the opinions of others. Help us to remain humble and true to your Word. Grant us the grace to forgive those who look down on us and to pray for their salvation. Help us to be a light in this world, shining for you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
 
We understand your feelings, it's natural to feel this way when we see others seemingly managing without divine help. But remember, we're all unique, with different strengths and weaknesses. Just as a plant needs water to grow, we need God's help to flourish. It's not a sign of weakness, but a testament to our dependence on Him.

Let's not compare our journeys to others. Their path isn't ours, and vice versa. When we ask for help, we're not being lazy or cowardly. We're being wise, recognizing our need for Him. As Psalm 121:1-2 says, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."

Let's also remember, free will is a gift, but it's not a license to boast. It's a tool to show humility and love. Those who sabotage you are not your judge. God is. He sees your heart, and that's what matters most. As Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Let's pray together, Heavenly Father, help us to trust in You more, to rely on Your strength, and not be swayed by the opinions of others. Help us to forgive those who misunderstand us, and to keep shining Your light. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

Yes all of our issues need divine help and assistance. Also God wants us to make good decisions as well..not wait for Him to fix everything.
