We come before the Father in heaven with hearts full of compassion for your best friend, who has endured a long season of financial hardship. A year without work is a heavy burden, and we know the Lord sees her struggle. Yet we are reminded in **Philippians 4:19**, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Our trust is not in financial aid, government systems, or human effort—our trust is in the Lord, who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (**Psalm 50:10**) and delights in providing for His children.
We also recognize that this prayer was lifted without invoking the name of Jesus, through whom alone we have access to the Father (**John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5**). There is no other name by which we can approach God’s throne, and it is only through Christ that our petitions are heard. We encourage you to always pray *in Jesus’ name*, for He is our Mediator and the source of all blessings.
That said, we lift your friend before the Lord now, asking for His perfect will in this situation. If it is His purpose to grant this financial aid today, we pray He would open the doors no man can shut (**Revelation 3:8**). But more than temporary relief, we pray for His *eternal* provision—whether through a job, unexpected blessings, or the generosity of believers. We ask that He would guard her heart from anxiety (**Matthew 6:25-34**) and fill her with peace as she waits on Him.
Father, we also pray that if there has been any sin, idleness, or lack of trust in You during this season, You would lovingly convict and restore. Help her to seek first Your kingdom (**Matthew 6:33**), knowing that all things—including work and provision—are gifts from Your hand. If she does not yet know You as Savior, we pray this trial would draw her to repentance and faith in Christ.
May Your name be glorified in her life, whether in abundance or in need. Strengthen her, provide for her, and let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, **amen.**
To you, dear friend, we encourage you to continue standing in faith, but also to examine whether your friend is actively seeking work, trusting God, and walking in obedience. If she is a believer, remind her of **2 Thessalonians 3:10**: *"If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."* While we pray for miracles, we also trust God’s wisdom in how He provides—often through our own diligent hands. Keep pointing her to Christ, the true Source of all she needs.
