If He Loves Me so Much, Why Can't He Harken to my Earnest Plea?

Good day ma, I need words of encouragement from you and your amiable fans. I am dealing with too much now, and I am depressed, very depressed.
I just came out from a relationship I gave my best to, and I just realized that I don't have friends, a whole day can pass without anyone calling me or chatting me up.
I am so lonely and above all, my father is strong with cancer. This cancer was treated last year and we spent so much and it's back again, more severe than the last one, he groans from morning to night.
I have fasted, I have been doing night vigils for this particular case. I am scared of coming back home after work. I know God is bigger than my problems, but I am so lonely. Please pray for my family, this test is too much for me.
What story will I tell after this. If he loves me so much, why can't he harken to my earnest plea? Friendless, loveless, excess expenses, sickness, what worse thing can happen to me?


Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for you are with me, thy rod and thy staff, they do comfort me.Psalm 23 vs 4

I will look up to the hills, from where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.Psalms 121 vs 1-2

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.2 Corinthians 4:7‭-‬10‭, ‬16‭-‬18 ESV

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord ; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.  God , the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places.Habakkuk 3:17‭-‬19 ESV

Please forgive me for quoting the Bible which may not make sense to you at this moment.
When the weight of our burden is overwhelming, it is extremely difficult for one to find encouragement in the word of God.
When we have nobody else to talk to, when those who we thought were family are very far from us, when praying doesn't make sense, and our questions seems endless, even when we feel that God is far away from us, we can only hold unto hope and let God be God.
I don't know how best to reach your heart and assure you that it is well even when we can't get hold of anything else.

Let me start by praying for you.
Our heavenly father, the author and the finisher of our faith, our everlasting door and the king of glory.
I know that you are faithful even in a hopeless situation, and forever you will be God irrespective of the afflictions that are testing our faith.
In an overwhelming challenges of life, we will only look unto you and pray that you will take control of everything.
There is nothing impossible for you to do, and there's nothing that is beyond your capacity, but Lord even in our weaknesses please show yourself strong. Give us the grace to hold unto you even when our hope is depleting.
We know that you are in control, we know that you are faithful, we know that you are able, and we know that this is not a surprise to you.
See your daughter, please give her the grace, peace, the patience to stand, and help her to remain strong and hopeful in your word, so that she will overcome the weight and burden of the enemy against her life and destiny in Jesus name Amen.

Daughter of Zion, though it may seem like an endless turbulence, it shall come to an end in no distant future. Though it may seem as though God is far away from your heart, He will see you through.
What is happening around you is not the most horrible experience, but what is happening in your heart is the most important of all. Please do not lose hope or give up on God.
Surrender everything to God and allow him to take care of those things that are beyond your control and capacity.
We will only get drained and depressed the very moment we decide to do the things that only God can do.
Though your relationship may not have worked out as you planned it, everything is working for your good. Don't look at the previous relationship as a waste but see it as God's own way of preparing and equipping you with the virtues that you need for your marriage.
Your dad may be suffering the afflictions of the flesh and it may seem as though the devil is out to devour everything you have labored for, but that is not the case. The truth is that you are sowing into greatness by investing your heart, love and time to care for your father.
It may look so painful and devastating at the moment but for the very fact that you and your siblings stood up for your father in this precarious moments of his journey, you shall not only prosper in life but you shall be rewarded with earthly and heavenly riches in Jesus name Amen.
Please do not look at what you are experiencing today and the sacrifices you are making for your father, because our heavenly father is faithful and will reward you for your good intentions.
The temporary loneliness and pains you are experiencing today will not last forever, and I will encourage to always strengthen your heart with the word of God, and leave everything to God's care.
He knows much more than you can possibly imagine and He will favour you with the very desires of your heart in Jesus name Amen.
Please cheer up and be hopeful, though our heart be heavy, it is well with you and your family in Jesus name Amen.
