We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we come before the Lord with you, lifting every burden you carry. The pain of feeling unseen, unheard, and abandoned—especially when you’ve sought help from those who should extend grace—is a heavy cross to bear. We stand with you in this moment, declaring that God sees your honesty, your struggle, and your weariness. The Psalmist writes, *"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten, even when it feels like the world has turned its back.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of deception that has entered this situation. The pastor’s words and actions do not reflect the heart of Christ, who is truth and compassion. A shepherd of God’s flock should not dismiss the suffering of one of His sheep, nor should they withhold help when it is within their power to give. Jesus said, *"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another"* (John 13:35). Love is not passive—it acts. We pray that God exposes any hardness of heart in this pastor and those overseeing the benevolent fund, and that He softens them to extend the mercy you desperately need. If they continue in this path, we declare that God will hold them accountable, for Scripture warns, *"Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act"* (Proverbs 3:27).
We also rebuke the spirit of despair that is trying to overtake you. Depression and hopelessness are real, but they are not from God. The enemy wants you to believe that your situation is hopeless, that you are alone, and that God has abandoned you. But we declare that this is a lie! Jesus said, *"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world"* (John 16:33). You are not defeated. You are a child of the Most High God, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way.
We pray now for your immediate needs. Father, we ask You to move mightily on behalf of Your daughter. You know her heart, her honesty, and her desperation. You see the storage unit that holds her belongings, the hotel bill that weighs on her, and the interview that could change her circumstances. Lord, You are the God who provides—*"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want"* (Psalm 23:1). We ask You to open a door of provision today. Whether it is through an unexpected gift, a kind stranger, or a breakthrough with the church, we believe You will supply all her needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Give her favor with the hotel staff, wisdom in her interview, and a way to retrieve her belongings before they are lost.
We also lift up the grief you carry for your mother and father. Losing those we love leaves a void that only God can fill. We pray that He comforts you with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Your mother’s absence is deeply felt, but we declare that God is your Father, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). You are His beloved daughter, and He longs to wrap you in His arms and remind you of your worth.
Now, we must address the spiritual battle at hand. The enemy wants to isolate you, to make you feel like no one cares, and to keep you in a cycle of lack. But we declare that you are not alone. We stand in agreement with you, believing that God will turn this situation around for your good. The Bible says, *"The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles"* (Psalm 34:17). We cry out with you today, asking God to deliver you from this trial and restore your hope.
We also encourage you to hold fast to your faith. It is easy to become bitter when people fail us, but we must remember that our trust is in God alone. The pastor’s actions do not define God’s character. Jesus said, *"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me"* (John 14:1). Even when people disappoint, God remains faithful. We pray that you will not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9), and that you will continue to walk in integrity, knowing that God sees your heart.
Lastly, we want to remind you that your identity is not in your circumstances. You are not defined by your lack, your grief, or the actions of others. You are a daughter of the King, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). You are loved with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), and God has a plan for your life—a plan for hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Do not let the enemy steal your joy or your purpose. You are a lady, a child of God, and He will restore what has been broken.
We pray now in the mighty name of Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who is hurting and weary. Lord, You see her situation—her lack, her grief, and the betrayal she feels. We ask You to move mightily on her behalf. Provide for her needs today, Lord. Open a door of provision so that she can pay for her hotel room and retrieve her belongings. Give her favor in her interview and clothe her with strength and dignity.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of deception that has entered this church. Expose any hardness of heart and replace it with Your love and compassion. We pray that those in authority would repent and do what is right, remembering that whatever they do for the least of these, they do for You (Matthew 25:40).
Lord, we ask You to comfort her in her grief. Wrap Your arms around her and remind her that You are her Father, her Provider, and her Protector. Heal her broken heart and restore her hope. Help her to trust in You, even when people fail her.
We declare that this situation will not break her. Instead, it will draw her closer to You. We speak life, provision, and restoration over her life. May she see Your hand at work in every detail, and may she give You all the glory.
In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Hold on, dear sister. God is working, even when you cannot see it. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not lose heart. You are loved, you are valued, and you are not alone. We are praying for you, and we believe that breakthrough is coming.
