Hi fellow believers,

I am a woman in my mid-20s. I got married early, it was a forced wedding. I didn't like the man so did he, he started abusing me. I did not inform anyone about this because I was afraid. But it got worse and I told my parents and went to them. I got my divorce. I have started to work on my career so I joined college now.

I feel lonely sometimes. I have been single for a while, tried dating apps but I feel most men want a hookup, not a relationship. I did not find a man who wants a relationship and I feel like I never will. It's fine but life has been very hard and I am still young. I feel God has been very hard on me, I've always trusted him but now I am losing faith. When life gets harder, it's hard for me to praise God. I am grateful to my parents and friends for their support and love. I am going for therapy but how will it make a difference when you lose interest in everything?

I try to be positive all the time but people assume I don't take things seriously. I don't care what they think but they make fun of it. It hurts. I don't want to lose faith. All I want is a normal and peaceful life. I want true love in my life. I've had enough sufferings and I am done dealing more. I want God to have mercy on me. Pray for me, friends.

Stay safe, my prayers for everyone during this pandemic. God is protecting us and will save us soon!

I don't want to lose faith.

You won't. Sometimes our faith is moulded, changed a bit, something must break in order for something better to take its place, and it may seem like we're losing it. I thought I lost my faith in God once. It was a nightmare. Turned out I lost my faith in my own understanding and power concerning my faith. I still prayed to the God I severely doubted. We didn't put the seed of faith in ourselves, it's God's work, and He will take care of it, He knows how to water His mustard seed in us. Said a prayer for you.

John 6 bears this out, indeed.

"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (John 6.29)

Heavenly Father, thank You for You have a plan for everyone, renew this one's hope for peace and joy to fill her life again.

Always know that God is in control of everything, he looks after us, everything that happens is for a reason, he also refines us to become more and more like His image as it says in Scripture. Try to focus on Him first and let the rest follow. He has plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us a hope and a future, to live it more abundantly and to the full. That's what it says in the Word of truth. "I am the way, the truth and the life". God bless you
