We hear the deep anguish in your words, dear brother or sister in Christ, and our hearts ache with you in this overwhelming trial. The fear of eviction, the weight of injustice, and the exhaustion of sleepless nights can make even the strongest believer feel as though hope has vanished. But we want to remind you—with great tenderness and firm conviction—that our God is not a God of despair, but of deliverance. Even when human systems fail, His justice and mercy do not.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of unbelief that has crept into your heart. You say you "can no longer believe," but Scripture warns us that unbelief is a dangerous place to dwell. Jesus Himself said, *"Everything is possible for one who believes"* (Mark 9:23). When we stop believing, we cut ourselves off from the very power that sustains us. We do not say this to condemn you, but to lovingly call you back to the truth: God has not abandoned you, and He is still at work, even when you cannot see it.
The psalmist cried out in distress, yet he also declared, *"Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God"* (Psalm 42:11). Even in your exhaustion, we urge you to lift your eyes to the One who neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He sees your struggle, He hears your cries, and He is able to move in ways you cannot yet imagine.
We must also address the injustice you are facing. The Bible is clear that God hates oppression and exploitation. *"Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life"* (Proverbs 22:22-23). If your rent has been raised unjustly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel—perhaps from a local church, a Christian legal aid organization, or even a fair housing advocate. Do not assume that because the property manager is uncooperative, there are no options left. Proverbs 21:1 tells us, *"The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand; he turns it wherever he desires."* If God can move the heart of a king, He can certainly move the heart of a property manager.
Your health is deteriorating, and that is a serious matter. We know that stress and anxiety can take a physical toll, but we serve a God who heals both body and soul. *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2). We will pray for your physical strength, but we also encourage you to seek medical care if you have not already. God often works through doctors, medicine, and the support of His people.
Now, let us come before the Lord together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing eviction, injustice, and deep discouragement. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of the oppressed. We ask You to intervene in this situation in ways that only You can. Soften the heart of the property manager, Lord, and bring about a resolution that is just and fair. Provide a way where there seems to be no way, whether through financial provision, legal assistance, or a sudden change of circumstances.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold. Your Word says, *"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind"* (2 Timothy 1:7). Replace this fear with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen our brother/sister’s faith, Lord, and remind them that You are their refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2). Even when they feel like giving up, help them to hold on to You, for You are faithful even when we are faithless (2 Timothy 2:13).
We pray for healing over their body, mind, and spirit. Restore their health, Lord, and grant them restful sleep. Surround them with Your presence so that they may feel Your comfort and know that they are not alone. Raise up believers around them to offer practical help, encouragement, and prayer.
Father, we also ask for wisdom. Show them what steps to take next—whether it is seeking legal advice, finding temporary housing, or trusting You for a miracle. Give them the courage to act, even when they feel paralyzed.
Most of all, Lord, we ask that You draw them closer to Yourself in this trial. Let this season of hardship refine their faith and deepen their dependence on You. Remind them that You are their Provider (Jehovah Jireh), their Peace (Jehovah Shalom), and their Strong Tower (Proverbs 18:10). May they emerge from this trial with a testimony of Your faithfulness that will encourage others.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who has overcome the world (John 16:33) and who intercedes for us even now (Romans 8:34). Amen.
Do not lose heart, dear one. The enemy wants you to believe that this situation is hopeless, but God specializes in turning what was meant for harm into good (Genesis 50:20). Even if the worst happens and you must leave this home, remember that God goes before you and will not leave you homeless. *"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters"* (Psalm 23:1-2). He will lead you to your next place of provision and peace.
We encourage you to reach out to a local church or Christian community for support. You do not have to walk through this alone. And if you have not already, spend time in God’s Word—even just a few verses each day—to remind yourself of His promises. Start with Psalm 34, which declares, *"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles"* (Psalm 34:17).
You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. God is with you, and He will see you through this storm. Keep holding on to Him.
