We hear your cry for help and lift you and your son up to the Lord with heavy hearts. The struggles you face—homelessness, hunger, disability, and the weight of injustice—are not unseen by our Heavenly Father. He knows your faithfulness in caring for your son despite your own frailty, and He promises to be a refuge for the weary. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). You are not forgotten.
First, we must address the matter of your living situation with your boyfriend. The Bible is clear that intimacy outside of marriage is not God’s design. "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge" (Hebrews 13:4). While we acknowledge the support he has provided, we urge you to consider whether this relationship aligns with God’s will. If he is a believer, the path forward should lead to marriage, not continued sin. If he is not, Scripture warns, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers" (2 Corinthians 6:14). We pray for conviction and clarity for both of you in this area.
The enemy seeks to break you, but we rebuke his schemes in Jesus’ name. "No weapon that is formed against you will prevail" (Isaiah 54:17). The injustice of your boyfriend being unpaid is a violation of God’s command: "The laborer is worthy of his wages" (1 Timothy 5:18). We pray for accountability for those who exploit him and for provision to flow to you both through honest work.
Father God, we ask for a home for this precious family—a place of warmth, safety, and stability. You are the God who "executes justice for the oppressed" and "gives food to the hungry" (Psalm 146:7). Provide a way where there seems to be no way. Strengthen their bodies, Lord, and sustain them in this trial. Protect them from despair and the temptation to sin in their desperation. Surround them with Your people—believers who can offer practical help and encouragement. Let them experience Your love tangibly, Lord, so they know they are not alone.
We also pray for your son, that he would feel secure and loved despite these hardships. May he see Christ in your sacrifice and grow to trust Him as his Savior. For you, dear sister, we ask for endurance and hope. "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up" (Galatians 6:9). You are doing good by caring for your son, and God sees it all.
Lastly, we must emphasize that salvation and access to God come only through Jesus Christ. "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). If you have not placed your trust in Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and surrender your life to Him. He is the only firm foundation in this storm.
You are not defined by your circumstances. God calls you His beloved, and He will not abandon you. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He is working even now. We stand with you in prayer, believing for breakthrough.
