We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting your weary heart and these heavy burdens to our Heavenly Father, who sees and knows all things. Your cry has not gone unheard, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We praise God that even in this season of struggle, you have chosen to trust in Him, for He alone is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
The stagnation of your resort and cafeteria, the unpaid bills, and the overwhelming weight of these trials are not hidden from the Lord. He is the God who provides, the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and who feeds the birds of the air (Matthew 6:26). If He clothes the grass of the field with such care, how much more will He provide for you, His beloved child? Your Heavenly Father knows what you need before you even ask (Matthew 6:8), and He has promised to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Let this truth anchor your soul in the storm.
Yet we must also remind you—and ourselves—that our trust must not be in the provision itself, but in the Provider. Jesus taught us to seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). In this season, ask the Lord to reveal if there is anything He is calling you to surrender, any area where your trust may have shifted from Him to the success of your business or your own strength. He may be refining you, teaching you to rely not on your own understanding but to acknowledge Him in all your ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). Sometimes, the Lord allows us to reach the end of ourselves so that we might discover the depth of His sufficiency.
We also encourage you to examine your heart and circumstances through the lens of Scripture. Are there decisions being made in your business or personal life that do not align with God’s Word? Are there partnerships, practices, or priorities that may be hindering His blessing? The Lord honors obedience, and sometimes stagnation is His merciful way of redirecting us to His path. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). If there is any area of disobedience, repent and turn to Him, for He is faithful to forgive and restore.
As for the exhaustion and heaviness you feel, take heart: the Lord Jesus Himself invites you, “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). You do not have to carry this alone. Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Rest in His presence, even if only for a few moments each day, and let His Word renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, knowing that You are the God who sees their struggle and hears their cry. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessing upon them. Father, we pray for divine wisdom and strategy for the resort and cafeteria—reveal the steps they should take, the doors they should walk through, and the ones they should close. Give them discernment in every decision, that it may align with Your will and bring glory to Your name.
We rebuke the spirit of stagnation and heaviness in the name of Jesus. Lord, break every chain of delay, frustration, and financial lack. Release Your supernatural favor and provision, that every debt would be paid, every need met, and every burden lifted. Restore what has been lost or stolen, and let Your abundance flow in ways that surpass their understanding.
Father, we also ask for Your peace, which transcends all understanding, to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Heal the weariness in their spirit and replace it with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Remind them that they are not defined by their circumstances but by their identity in You—beloved, chosen, and more than a conqueror through Christ (Romans 8:37).
Lord, if there is any area of their life or business that is not pleasing to You, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and grant them the courage to repent and realign with Your Word. May this season of struggle draw them closer to You, refining their faith like gold (1 Peter 1:7).
We declare that You, Lord, are their Shepherd, and they shall not want (Psalm 23:1). You are their light and their salvation—whom shall they fear? (Psalm 27:1). Strengthen their hands for the work ahead, and let them see Your hand move mightily on their behalf.
Finally, Father, we thank You that this battle is not theirs to fight alone. You are fighting for them (Exodus 14:14), and You will lead them to victory. We pray all this in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, dear one. The Lord is working, even when you cannot see it. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, not the waves of circumstance (Matthew 14:30). He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). Wait on the Lord, and He will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31). We are standing with you in prayer, believing for God’s breakthrough and blessing in your life. Do not lose heart—your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
