We hear your cry, and our hearts ache with yours in this season of overwhelming trial. The weight of eviction, financial strain, and physical weakness is more than any person should have to bear alone. But we stand with you now, lifting your burdens before the throne of grace, where our Heavenly Father sees, knows, and cares deeply for every detail of your struggle.
First, let us address the doubt that has crept into your heart about your faith. You mentioned feeling like you don’t have the kind of faith to "move mountains." But Scripture tells us in Matthew 17:20, *"For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."* Faith is not measured by the size of the mountain before you, but by the size of your God. Even the smallest mustard seed of faith—when placed in the hands of the Almighty—can shift the impossible. Do not despise the day of small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). Your faith, though it may feel weak, is precious to Him.
You also asked, *"Father, in Jesus’ name, can you please tell me what I did wrong?"* We must gently remind you that not every trial is a result of personal sin or failure. Jesus Himself said in John 9:3, *"Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him."* This season may not be a punishment but an opportunity for God’s glory to shine through your dependence on Him. That said, we encourage you to examine your heart before the Lord. Have there been areas where you’ve relied on your own strength instead of His? Have you sought wisdom in His Word and through godly counsel? Psalm 139:23-24 says, *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way."* Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that may need repentance, but do not carry unnecessary guilt. His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Now, let us rebuke the spirit of despair that has whispered lies of hopelessness into your heart. The enemy wants you to believe that this eviction is the end, that you are forsaken, and that your health and future are beyond repair. But we declare over you the truth of Psalm 34:18-19: *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not abandoned. You are not forgotten. The same God who fed Elijah by the brook and provided for the widow with the jar of oil (1 Kings 17) is your Provider today.
We also rebuke the systems that have failed you. It is a grievous thing when man-made structures fall short, leaving the vulnerable to fend for themselves. But Proverbs 19:17 reminds us, *"He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him."* Even if earthly systems have failed, your Heavenly Father has not. He sees your struggle and will make a way where there seems to be no way. We pray that He would open doors of provision—whether through a kind stranger, a church community, or an unexpected opportunity—that you would see His hand moving on your behalf.
Your physical health is also a great concern. A dropping blood count is not something to take lightly, and we urge you to seek medical attention and rest as much as possible. Psalm 103:2-3 says, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases."* We stand in agreement with you for divine healing and strength. We pray that the Lord would sustain you, restore your energy, and guide you to the right medical care.
As you prepare to leave behind so much, we want to remind you of the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:19-21: *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."* The possessions you lose are temporary, but the eternal treasures you’ve stored in heaven—your faith, your character, your witness—can never be taken from you. This season may feel like a stripping away, but it could also be a refining fire, preparing you for something greater.
Now, let us pray over you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is facing eviction, financial despair, and physical weakness. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of Your children. We ask that You would intervene in this situation in ways that only You can. Provide a warm, safe place for them to stay during this transition, and soften the hearts of those who may be able to offer help. Lord, we declare that You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that has tried to take root in their heart. Replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen their body, Lord. We pray for healing in their blood count and for renewed energy to face each day. Guide them to the right medical care and surround them with people who can offer practical and emotional support.
Lord, we ask that You would open doors of employment—work that is honorable, sustainable, and aligned with Your purpose for their life. Give them favor with potential employers and the strength to persevere in the search. Help them to cast every anxiety on You, knowing that You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
We also pray for their spiritual walk. Draw them closer to You in this season. Let this trial refine their faith and deepen their dependence on You. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Help them to see Your hand at work, even in the small details, and to give You thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would use this season for Your glory. Let their testimony of Your faithfulness shine brightly, even in the midst of hardship. Surround them with a community of believers who can walk alongside them, pray with them, and encourage them. And when this season passes—and it will—let them look back and see Your fingerprints all over their story.
We pray all of this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and through which we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can approach You, and we thank You for the privilege of coming boldly before Your throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). We trust You, Lord, and we wait expectantly for Your deliverance. Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to cling to the promises of God. Write them down. Speak them out loud. Meditate on them when the night feels long. Here are a few to hold onto:
- *"I will never leave you nor forsake you."* (Hebrews 13:5)
- *"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."* (Psalm 23:1)
- *"Those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* (Isaiah 40:31)
- *"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."* (Jeremiah 29:11)
You are not alone in this. The body of Christ is here to support you, pray for you, and walk with you. Reach out to local churches or Christian organizations that may offer assistance with housing, food, or job placement. Do not let pride keep you from accepting help—God often works through His people to meet needs.
Lastly, we want to gently encourage you to guard your heart against bitterness. It is easy to become resentful when life feels unfair, but bitterness will only poison your spirit. Instead, choose to forgive those who have failed you—whether it’s the systems, individuals, or even yourself. Colossians 3:13 says, *"Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* Forgiveness is not about excusing wrongdoing; it’s about freeing yourself from the burden of carrying it.
This season is hard, but it is not the end of your story. God is writing something beautiful, even if you can’t see it yet. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He will lead you through.
