We hear the heaviness in your heart, and we want you to know that we are standing with you in prayer, lifting your burdens before the Lord. It’s clear that you are carrying frustration, disappointment, and even a sense of spiritual attack as you feel blocked from the blessings you once knew. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says Yahweh, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Even when circumstances feel overwhelming, God’s plans for you are good, and His timing is perfect.
First, we must address the feeling that someone has done something "sinister" to block your blessings. While spiritual warfare is real—Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that *"we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"*—we must be careful not to become consumed by suspicion or bitterness. Instead, we take authority in Jesus’ name and stand on His promises. James 4:7 says, *"Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* We rebuke any spirit of delay, lack, or discouragement that has tried to take root in your life, and we declare that the enemy has no authority over your destiny in Christ.
Your feelings of being "on the edge" and lacking motivation are valid, but we encourage you to bring them to the Lord. Psalm 55:22 says, *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."* God does not want you to carry this weight alone. We pray that He would renew your strength, restore your joy, and give you clarity in this season. The business struggles and financial pressures are real, but we serve a God who provides. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."*
We also want to gently remind you that Christmas is not about the things we *do* or the material blessings we receive, but about celebrating the greatest gift of all—Jesus Christ. If your heart is heavy with unmet expectations, we pray that God would shift your focus to the true meaning of this season. John 3:16 says, *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."* Even in seasons of lack, we can find contentment in Him.
Let us pray for you now:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and spiritually attacked. Lord, we rebuke every spirit of delay, lack, and discouragement that has tried to block their blessings. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and we stand on Your promise that You have plans for their good, not for harm. Father, we ask that You would renew their strength, restore their joy, and give them clarity in this season. Help them to cast their burdens on You, knowing that You sustain them. Provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory. Lord, we pray that You would shift their focus from what they lack to the abundance of Your love and the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. We thank You for Your faithfulness, and we trust You to turn this season around for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."*
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, even when you don’t feel like it. Meditate on scriptures like Psalm 37:23-24, which says, *"A man’s goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand."* God has not forgotten you. He is working even when you cannot see it. Keep pressing into Him, and trust that He will restore what has been lost. If there are areas where you have allowed bitterness or unforgiveness to take root, we encourage you to release those to God. Holding onto them only gives the enemy a foothold.
Lastly, if you have not already, we urge you to surrender your business, your finances, and your future fully to the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20), but we must trust Him completely.
You are not alone in this. We are praying for you, and we believe that God is going to turn this season around for your good. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not lose hope.
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.
