Explored and I’m tired

[Anonymous]

Hi I’ve explored all avenues for assistance with rent arrears and have not had success. I’m so exhausted that my body is shutting down on me due to the stress of not having income and being threatened with eviction. I cannot push myself any more or control the outcome which most likely will be eviction. I miscalculated what my situation would be after being literally driven out of a toxic workplace. Financial disaster and no way to bounce back. I have sleepless nights from the abuse I suffered in the workplace and also from potential eviction worries. My muscle mass is deteriorating and I just cannot do anymore. That I took a leap of faith to leave abuse and will never do it again. From abuse to destitution. I’ve been persistent in search for answers and resolution but now I have to leave it in the Lord’s hands. I’ve put my name on every single assistance list that I could think of, left messages, reached out to churches, community members and nothing materialized. Sometimes I understand why people want to escape all of it because it never gets better. Where am I supposed to go? Shelters are full right now. I did everything in my good intentions to solve this. I hope that it’s resolved before eviction proceedings start otherwise I’ll likely throw in the towel. This has been an extremely hard life for me. I don’t have the faith or motivation to keep holding on. Please pray for the family of a man who did the unthinkable because he wasn’t able to find employment after being laid off. This individual was a hard worker but nothing could stop his actions just because he needed a new job and couldn’t get one. I feel so bad for the family. Thank you for your prayers.

We hear your cry, dear one, and our hearts ache with yours in this valley of deep shadow. The weight you carry is more than flesh and bone were meant to bear—betrayal in the workplace, the crushing fear of losing your home, the sleepless nights, the physical toll on your body. You took a courageous step to flee abuse, only to be met with another kind of storm. We want you to know that God sees every tear, every sleepless hour, every moment your strength has failed you. He is not distant from your suffering; He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).

You mentioned leaving this in the Lord’s hands, and we want to affirm that surrender is not defeat—it is the place where faith begins. But we must also gently ask: have you fully surrendered *to Jesus*? Not just to a vague idea of God, but to the One who said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your trust in Christ as your Savior, we urge you to do so now. He is the only firm foundation when the ground beneath you is shaking.

Your exhaustion is real, and we rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers, *"It will never get better."* That is a lie from the enemy. The Lord promises in Isaiah 43:19, *"Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now! Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."* Even now, He is working in ways you cannot see. We pray that He would open doors no man can shut, provide for your needs in ways that astonish you, and restore your strength as you wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31).

We also want to address the heaviness you feel over the man who took his life. What a tragic reminder of how desperately this world needs the hope of Christ. We pray for his family, that the Lord would comfort them with His peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and surround them with believers who can walk with them through this unimaginable grief. May they come to know Jesus as their anchor in the storm.

Now, let us pray for you:

*"Father in Heaven, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who is weary and worn. Lord, You see the weight they carry—the fear, the exhaustion, the sense of hopelessness. We ask that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Provide for their needs in ways that only You can, whether through unexpected provision, a door of employment, or a community that steps in to help. Heal their body, Lord, and restore their strength. Replace their sleepless nights with Your peace, and let them feel Your presence in tangible ways.

We rebuke the spirit of despair that tells them this will never end. Remind them, Lord, that You are the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way. Give them the grace to trust You one day at a time, even when the future is uncertain. If they have not yet placed their faith in Jesus, draw them to Yourself now. Let them know that in You, there is hope—not just for this life, but for eternity.

For the family grieving the loss of their loved one, we ask for Your comfort. Wrap them in Your love and give them the strength to face each day. May they find solace in You, the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who bore our sorrows and carried our burdens. Amen."*

You are not alone in this. The Lord has not forgotten you, and neither have we. Keep crying out to Him. Keep holding on, even if it’s just by a thread. He is holding onto you. If you have not already, reach out to local churches or Christian organizations—they may have resources or connections to help with housing or financial assistance. And if you are able, consider sharing your story with trusted believers who can stand with you in prayer and practical support.

You took a leap of faith to escape abuse, and that was brave. Now, let us encourage you to take another step of faith—this time, into the arms of Jesus. He is waiting to carry you.

We're right here with you, friend. We feel the weight of your burden, the fear that keeps you awake at night, the exhaustion that's taking a toll on your body. It's overwhelming, we know. But remember, you're not alone. We're here, and so is God. He sees you, He hears you, and He's walking this path with you.

We want to encourage you, just as you encouraged yourself by leaving your situation in the Lord's hands. That's a powerful place to be, a place of surrender. But we also want to remind you, and remind ourselves, that God isn't distant or uncaring. He's right here, in the midst of your storm. He's not promising to take away the storm, but He's promising to be with you in it. He's promising to provide, to guide, to strengthen.

We've been praying for you, and we'll keep praying. We're asking God to open doors you never thought possible, to provide for your needs in ways that will leave you in awe, to give you rest and renewal. We're asking Him to comfort you, to give you peace, to remind you that He's got this.

And we're here too. If you need someone to talk to, someone to listen, someone to pray with you, we're here. We're not professionals, just fellow travelers on this journey of faith. But we're here, and we care.

Keep holding on, friend. Keep trusting. Keep praying. And remember, you're not alone. We're with you, and so is God. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
