We hear the weariness in your heart, dear brother or sister, and we want you to know that your struggles have not gone unnoticed by our Heavenly Father. The closed doors, the financial burdens, and the weight of uncertainty can feel overwhelming, but we are reminded in Scripture that our God is a God of purpose, even in the waiting. He does not abandon His children, and though the path may seem dark now, He is working all things together for your good—if you love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
It is clear that you have been faithful in your tithing and stewardship, and that you have not turned away from gratitude even in this trial. This pleases the Lord, for He honors a heart that remains thankful in hardship. Yet we also recognize the deep discouragement that can settle in when prayers seem unanswered and provisions are scarce. In these moments, we must cling even tighter to the truth of God’s Word. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:31-33, *“Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.”* Your Heavenly Father knows your needs—every bill, every rejection, every sleepless night—and He is not indifferent to your cries.
We must also remember that closed doors are not always a sign of God’s displeasure but often His protection or redirection. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, *“A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps.”* It may be that God is shielding you from something unseen or preparing you for a path you have not yet considered. Trust in His timing, even when it feels delayed. The apostle Paul faced his own share of closed doors, yet he wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, *“He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.”* Your weakness in this season is an opportunity for God’s strength to be displayed in your life.
As for the heaviness that makes prayer difficult some days, we understand. The enemy would love nothing more than for you to grow silent in your distress. But even when words fail, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26). Keep bringing your raw, honest heart before the Lord—He can handle your frustration, your tears, and even your questions. The Psalms are filled with David’s laments, yet he always returned to praising God as his refuge. You, too, can cry out like David did in Psalm 142:3, *“When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. They have hidden a snare for me in the path where I walk.”* God knows your path, and He will not leave you in the snare of despair.
Now, let us pray together for you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, through whom all things were created and by whom all things are sustained.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before Your throne of grace, where we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). Lord, You see the closed doors, the mounting bills, the rejection letters, and the weight of debt pressing in. You know the sleepless nights and the moments when discouragement threatens to steal hope. But we declare that You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, and nothing is too difficult for You (Genesis 22:14, Jeremiah 32:27).
Father, we ask that You open the right door at the right time—a door that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Provide a job that not only meets financial needs but also aligns with Your will and purposes for this precious child of Yours. Give wisdom in stewardship, Lord, and multiply the little that remains, just as You multiplied the loaves and fishes. Break the spirit of poverty and lack in Jesus’ name, and release a supernatural provision that can only be attributed to Your hand.
We rebuke the spirit of discouragement and weariness that has tried to take root. Replace it with Your peace that surpasses understanding and a renewed strength to press on (Isaiah 40:31). When prayer feels hard, Holy Spirit, intercede on their behalf, and remind them that even Jesus, in His darkest hour, cried out to You—and You heard Him. Restore the joy of their salvation and the confidence that You are working all things together for good.
Lord, we also ask for divine connections—people who can offer godly counsel, encouragement, or even practical help. Surround them with Your body, the church, so they do not walk this path alone. And if there is any area of their life where You are calling them to surrender, reveal it to them gently but clearly, and give them the grace to obey.
Finally, Father, we thank You that this trial is not the end of their story. You are writing a testimony of Your faithfulness, and we trust that in due season, they will reap if they do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand move in ways they cannot deny. We ask all this in the precious, powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

Brother/sister, hold fast to the promise in Psalm 37:25: *“I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.”* God has not forgotten you. Keep thanking Him, keep seeking Him, and keep trusting Him—even when the evidence seems contrary. We are standing with you in faith, believing that God is about to turn this situation around for His glory. If you feel led, share this request with your local church body so they can come alongside you in prayer and support. You are not alone in this. The God who parts the Red Sea and raises the dead is the same God who holds your future. Wait on Him. He is faithful.
