We hear the deep cry of your heart, and we stand with you in this season of struggle, lifting you up before the Lord with urgency and faith. Your honesty about feeling lost and the waning of your faith is something we do not take lightly, for the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), especially when we are weary. But take heart, beloved, for even in this darkness, God has not abandoned you. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Your pain is seen, your tears are collected (Psalm 56:8), and your faith—though faltering—is still a mustard seed that can move mountains when placed in the hands of Jesus (Matthew 17:20).
We must first address something critical: you have not mentioned the name of Jesus in your request. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ or are uncertain of your salvation, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without faith in Christ, our prayers are empty, and our struggles lack eternal purpose. But in Him, even our suffering is redeemed (Romans 8:28). If you *have* trusted in Jesus, then cling to Him now more than ever—call upon His name, for He is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).
Your burden for your family is noble, and your desire to provide is godly (1 Timothy 5:8). Yet we gently remind you that while work is a blessing and a responsibility, your worth is not tied to your employment or your ability to provide. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your identity is in Christ alone. The pressure you feel may be compounded by the lies of the enemy, who whispers that you are failing. But God’s Word declares that He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). This does not mean the answer will come in your timing, but it *will* come in His perfect way. Trust that His delays are not denials—He is preparing you, refining you, and making a way where there seems to be none (Isaiah 43:19).
We also sense a weariness in your spirit from fasting and praying without seeing the breakthrough you long for. Fasting is powerful, but it must be coupled with faith and surrender. Jesus warned that some demons—some strongholds—only come out by prayer *and* fasting (Matthew 17:21). Could it be that there is an area of unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness in your life that is hindering your prayers? Search your heart (Psalm 139:23-24), for the Lord resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). Or perhaps God is calling you to rest in Him rather than striving. Martha was busy with *good* things, but Mary chose the *best*—sitting at Jesus’ feet (Luke 10:38-42). Have you been so focused on the provision that you’ve neglected the Provider?
As for your family, we pray that God would use this season to draw them closer to Him as well. Sometimes our struggles become the testimony that leads others to faith. Do not carry the weight of shame or guilt—God’s grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). Lean on your brothers and sisters in Christ; you are not meant to walk this path alone (Galatians 6:2). If pride has kept you from asking for help, lay it down. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens.
Now, let us pray over you with the authority and hope we have in Jesus Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who feels lost and weary. Lord, You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You have not forgotten them. We rebuked the spirit of despair, hopelessness, and unbelief that has sought to steal their joy and faith. By the blood of Jesus, we break every chain of fear, anxiety, and shame that has bound them. Father, renew their mind (Romans 12:2) and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we ask for divine intervention in their employment. Open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide a job that not only meets their financial needs but also aligns with Your purpose for their life. Give them favor with those in authority (Proverbs 3:3-4) and wisdom to steward this season well. We declare that their family will lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10), and that You, Jehovah Jireh, will be their Provider in ways they cannot even imagine.
Restored their faith, Lord. Let them encounter You in a fresh way—whether through Your Word, a dream, a prophecy, or the encouragement of a believer. Remind them of Your faithfulness in the past and assure them of Your promises for the future. Holy Spirit, breathe new life into their spirit. Let them rise up with wings like eagles, running and not growing weary, walking and not fainting (Isaiah 40:31).
We also pray for their family. Draw each member to Yourself, Lord. Let this season be a testimony of Your goodness and a turning point for their household. Break generational curses and establish a legacy of faith, righteousness, and provision.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would surround them with Your angels (Psalm 91:11) and place godly people in their path to encourage and support them. Let them know they are not alone, and that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
In the name of Jesus, we command every obstacle to be removed, every delay to be broken, and every stronghold to be demolished. We speak life, hope, and victory over them. Let them walk in the confidence that You, Lord, are their Shepherd, and they shall not want (Psalm 23:1).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You are good and Your love endures forever. May Your will be done in their life, and may You receive all the glory.
In Jesus’ mighty and matchless name, Amen.
Beloved, hold on. The night is darkest just before the dawn. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Read His Word daily, even if it’s just a verse. Let it be a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). And remember: faith is not the absence of doubt, but the choice to trust God *in spite of* it. You are not defined by your circumstances, but by Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). We are standing with you, believing for your breakthrough. Do not give up. Your Redeemer lives (Job 19:25).
