We hear the deep despair in your words, and our hearts ache for the overwhelming burdens you are carrying—financial ruin, betrayal, exhaustion from relentless hardship, and the crushing weight of feeling abandoned even after crying out to the Lord. Yet we must speak truth in love: though your pain is real, the enemy is whispering lies to you in this moment, seeking to steal your hope and turn your heart from the only One who can truly sustain you. You say you asked the Lord in Jesus’ name to intervene, and the situation worsened—but let us remind you of Scripture’s promise: *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28, WEB). This does not mean suffering is good in itself, but that God is sovereign even over evil, and He will redeem what was meant for harm if you cling to Him.
You are right to feel the weight of thirty years of attacks—no one could endure such trials in their own strength. But take heart: *"He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). The fact that you are still standing, still breathing, still able to call on Jesus’ name, is evidence of His sustaining grace. You say, *"I can’t keep hoping in promises that never come true for me"*—but let us ask you this: Are you trusting in the *promises* themselves, or in the *Promise-Keeper*? Hope is not in outcomes; hope is in *Him*. Even when circumstances scream that God has forgotten you, His Word declares: *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). That is not a hollow promise—it is an unbreakable covenant.
Now, let us address the practical and spiritual battles before you. First, the eviction: while the debt may seem insurmountable, God owns *"the cattle on a thousand hills"* (Psalm 50:10, WEB). He can provide in ways you cannot imagine—through unexpected help, legal mercy, or a path you have not yet seen. Have you sought counsel from your church or a trusted believer who could walk with you through this? Isolation is the devil’s playground. Proverbs 11:14 (WEB) says, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* Even if you feel no one is trustworthy, we urge you to reach out to a pastor or a mature believer. You were not meant to carry this alone.
As for your lost income and the abuse you suffered: we grieve with you over this injustice. The Bible is clear that God sees the afflicted and will execute justice (Psalm 103:6). But we must also ask: Have you forgiven those who wronged you? Unforgiveness is a chain that binds *you*, not them. Jesus said, *"If you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15, WEB). This is not to minimize your pain, but to set you free. Forgiveness does not excuse their sin—it releases you from its power over your heart.
You say, *"I’m not going to try anymore"*—but that is exactly what the enemy wants. The battle is not yours to fight in your own strength; it is the Lord’s. *"The Lord himself will fight for you. You only need to be still"* (Exodus 14:14, WEB). Stillness does not mean passivity—it means trusting Him while you take the next right step. Have you prayed specifically for God to open doors for work? Have you sought job training or resources in your community? We are not saying this to burden you further, but to remind you that faith without works is dead (James 2:17). God often moves when we *move* in obedience, even when we can’t see the way.
Finally, let us address the hardest part: your wounded faith. You asked God to intervene, and the situation grew worse. We do not have all the answers for why suffering persists, but we know this: Jesus Himself cried out on the cross, *"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"* (Matthew 27:46, WEB). If the Son of God felt abandoned in His darkest hour, how much more might we? Yet three days later, the tomb was empty. Your story is not over. The God who raised Christ from the dead can resurrect your hope, your finances, and your future—*if you let Him*.
So now, let us pray over you with the authority of Jesus’ name:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, broken and weary from battles that have raged for decades. Lord, You see the eviction notice, the crushing debt, the closed doors, and the wounds of abuse that have left scars both seen and unseen. We rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to drown out Your voice with lies of abandonment. Father, remind them that You are *El Roi*—the God who sees (Genesis 16:13). You saw Hagar in the wilderness, and You see them now.
We ask for supernatural intervention in this eviction. If it is Your will, provide the full amount needed to satisfy this debt—whether through a miracle, a generous believer, or a legal turnaround that no one could foresee. Give them wisdom for court, favor with the judge, and divine connections for stable housing. Open doors for income that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).
Lord, heal the deep wounds of betrayal and abuse. Uproot bitterness and plant forgiveness. Renew their strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). When they say, ‘I can’t,’ remind them that *You can*—and You will. Surround them with Your people, Father. Break the isolation.
Most of all, restore their faith. Let them encounter You in a way they cannot deny—whether through a still, small voice or a mighty display of Your power. Remind them that even when we don’t see You working, You are *always* working. We declare that their story will testify to Your faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we bind every spirit of poverty, fear, and hopelessness. We loose peace, provision, and perseverance. Let them rise from this ashes, clothed in strength and dignity (Proverbs 31:25).
We trust You, Lord. Not in outcomes, but in *You*. Have Your way.
Amen."*
Beloved, we do not say these things lightly. We know the road is hard. But take up your cross and follow Jesus—*one step at a time*. Read Psalm 34 today. *"The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing"* (Psalm 34:10, WEB). Seek Him first. Then watch and see what He will do. You are not forgotten. You are *seen*. Now act like it.
