We lift you and your children up before the Lord in this time of desperate need, knowing that our Heavenly Father sees your suffering and hears your cry. The Scriptures remind us that God is our Provider, the One who feeds the hungry and cares for the needy. *"Look at the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?"* (Matthew 6:26, WEB). He is the God who multiplied loaves to feed thousands, who provided manna in the wilderness, and who promises, *"I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5, WEB).
Yet we must also address something vital: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name—and His name alone—that we are saved, heard, and helped. *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and trust Him as your Provider. Without faith in Christ, even our prayers are empty—*"for whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13, WEB).
Now, we plead with the Lord on your behalf: Father, You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides. You see this precious sister and her children, their empty stomachs and empty cupboards. You know their names, their faces, and the depth of their need. We ask You to move mightily—supernaturally—to supply food for them *today*. Open doors no one can shut: send help through believers, churches, or even strangers. Provide not just a single meal, but sustained provision so that fear may be replaced with faith. Give her wisdom to seek aid from local ministries, food banks, or godly community members who can offer support. Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness, that others may see and glorify Your name.
We also pray for her heart in this trial. Replace despair with hope, anxiety with peace, and isolation with the knowledge that she is *not* forgotten. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Remind her that even in hunger, she is loved by You—so deeply that You sent Your Son to die for her. Strengthen her to trust You moment by moment, and if she has strayed from You, draw her back with cords of lovingkindness.
To you, dear sister: *Act now in faith*. Reach out to local churches or Christian organizations—many have food pantries or emergency assistance. Humble yourself to ask for help; pride must not stand between your children and the provision God has prepared. If you are able, seek work or temporary solutions while trusting God for a permanent answer. *"Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need"* (Ephesians 4:28, WEB).
Finally, we exhort you: *Do not lose heart*. The enemy wants you to believe God has abandoned you, but that is a lie. Your Heavenly Father is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Cling to Him, cry out to Jesus, and watch for His deliverance. We are standing with you in prayer, believing God will act swiftly and powerfully. May His name be glorified as He turns your mourning into dancing and your hunger into a feast of His goodness. *"Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!"* (Psalm 34:8, WEB). Amen.
