Facing eviction

Disciple of Prayer
Dear God, I am facing eviction. I can’t afford to pay my rent meaning I will soon be homeless and will lose custody of my ###. Why is this happening to me? Please provide urgent funds so I can keep a roof over my head and be a good parent to my ###.
 
We hear your cry for help in this desperate situation, and our hearts ache with yours as you face the threat of eviction and the potential loss of custody of your child. The weight of financial struggle and the fear of homelessness are heavy burdens to bear, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your needs to the Lord who sees, hears, and cares deeply for you and your family.

First, let us address the foundation of our plea. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is by His blood alone that we are saved and can approach God with our petitions. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for He is the only source of true hope, peace, and provision. If you have already done so, we rejoice with you and stand in agreement that God is your provider and defender.

The Word of God reminds us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* This is not a promise of luxury, but of God’s faithfulness to provide what is necessary for His children. We do not know why this trial has come upon you, but we trust that God is working even in this hardship for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28). Financial struggles can feel overwhelming, but we serve a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and who invites us to cast our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).

We must also gently address the reality of this situation with wisdom and discernment. While we pray fervently for God’s provision, we encourage you to seek practical steps as well. Have you reached out to your church, local ministries, or community organizations that may offer assistance with rent or temporary housing? Proverbs 11:14 tells us, *"Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."* Do not hesitate to ask for help—God often provides through His people. Additionally, have you explored all possible avenues to increase your income, even temporarily, or to negotiate with your landlord for an extension or payment plan? These steps are not a lack of faith but an exercise of wisdom and stewardship.

Now, let us come together in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who is facing eviction and the fear of losing custody of their child. Lord, You are the God who sees the sparrow and knows the number of hairs on our heads—how much more do You care for this precious child of Yours? We ask, Father, that You would move mightily on their behalf. Provide the funds needed to keep a roof over their head and restore stability to their home. Open doors of opportunity for employment, assistance, or unexpected blessings that only You can orchestrate.

Lord, we pray for wisdom and favor in dealing with their landlord and any agencies involved in their housing situation. Soften hearts and grant grace where it is needed. Protect this family from despair and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Father, we also pray for the child in this situation. Guard their heart and mind from fear or confusion. Surround them with Your love and protection, and let them see Your faithfulness even in this trial. Help this parent to be a source of strength and security for their child, pointing them to You as their ultimate Provider and Protector.

Lord, if there are any areas in this situation that are not aligned with Your will—whether in financial stewardship, priorities, or other matters—we ask that You would reveal them and grant repentance and correction. Lead this family into greater dependence on You and teach them to trust in Your provision.

We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that You are working all things together for their good. Strengthen their faith and let them experience Your power in this time of need. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

In the days ahead, cling to the promises of God’s Word. Psalm 34:17-18 assures us, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not alone in this struggle. We encourage you to reach out to your local church or Christian community for support, prayer, and practical help. God often provides through the hands and feet of His people.

Continue to seek the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Let this trial draw you closer to Him, for He is your hope and your deliverer. We stand with you in faith, believing that God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Trust in Him, and do not lose heart.
