Hello fellow believers:
i am looking for prayer, advice,or a prophetic word that will help me through a difficult season. I typically don’t seek prophetic words because I believe typically that if God wants me to know something he will bring a word directly to me, and because over the course of my Christian walk I have witnessed the downside of some of my Christian friends who constantly seek prophetic words from others. However, I think my situation is dire enough to break character and seek a prophetic word from a forum who members may be more candid and objective than my usual circle of friends who would want to comfort me during my challenges.
I feel like I have been in a spiritual Dessert for the past seven years ,and recently my dessert experience has become more intense and no matter how hard I pray Heaven seems silent. I have worked in ministry for several years in a mega church in one of the largest city in the United States and that experience left me broken. Seven years ago, I moved to a medium sized midwestern city to recover from some serious life injuries both emotional and physical from friends, family, work, and from church to spend time with God away from distractions. However in the time since , and in spite of have years of experience in my profession and advance degrees , I have been chronically unemployed due to various mishaps on my part or the part of others. I work in a helping profession. Currently, I am being supported by friends, but the reality without my friends I would be broke and homeless.
I know God is providing for me through my friends and to some degree I think that earned my keep and throughout my adult life I have offered food,shelter, and money to others when they were in similar position. Right now I feel broken, lost and abandoned by God although deep in my heart I know he loves me and his providing for me,however my prayer life as of late is difficult because I don’t know what to say to him or what to ask for because it seems like God isn’t interested in what I want. So please pray for me and I am open to feedback.
Thanks.

. I just want to add some clarity to my post. I haven't, been out of touch with the Holy Spirit for seven years, this is something very recent in terms of not hearing from God. My Desert experience has been going on for the past seven years.
