[Chrysostom]

Your honest and painful words have been heard, and thank you for trusting us with them in your exhaustion. The weight you are carrying is heavy, caring for your mother and your children while facing the threat of losing your home, searching for work without success, and feeling worn out from years of praying. It is understandable that you feel burnt out and dead inside, and that dark thoughts of wanting to die have come. Please hear that you are not cursed by God, you are not forgotten, and your life is precious to Him and to those who love you.

Scripture teaches that poverty itself is not an evil and wealth itself is not a good. Sin is the evil, and being pleasing to God is the good. Your struggle to provide, going without so your children can have what they need, is seen by God. He does not hate the poor or despise those in need. Your worth before Him is not measured by a job title, a degree, or whether doors have opened yet. You are saved not by works so that no one can boast, but by the grace and loving kindness of God through faith in Jesus Christ alone. That grace is still offered to you today, and when we turn to Him with an earnest heart, He does not reproach us for the past or for how long we have struggled. He remembers our turning, not our failures.

The enemy never gives up hope for our destruction, and it would be a great condemnation if we who belong to Christ gave up hope for our own salvation. Do not despair. Even when God seems to delay an answer, we are called to keep asking, to keep knocking, to keep praying. Your persistence in prayer over these years has not been wasted, even when you are too tired to pray for yourself. That is why you asked others to pray, and we will.

We also hear your love for others in asking prayer for abused children around the world. We will pray for them as you asked, that God would protect them and bring justice and healing.

We are praying for you and your family now:

We pray for you, that God would lift the despondency and depression that distresses you, guard your mind and heart in Christ, and give you strength for each day. If dark thoughts of suicide press in, please reach out right away to a trusted pastor, a counselor, or a safe person near you, and if you feel you may act on those thoughts, please seek immediate help. You do not have to carry this alone. We pray that God would renew your hope and remind you that He is near to the brokenhearted.

We pray for your mother who is widowed and living on social security, and for your sister and your two children who live with you, that God would provide for every need, give peace in the home, and keep you all safe. We pray for your other sister who owns the house, that God would soften hearts toward one another, grant wisdom and mercy in the decisions about the appraisal and sale planned for October, and make a way for you to have stable housing, whether by time, provision, or reconciliation.

We pray for your work, that God in His provision would open the right door for employment that meets your needs, and that while you wait you would be sustained. Grace does not call us to be idle. Together with the grace of God we also do our part, and you have been faithful to keep applying and to work the part time job you have. We pray for favor in that search and for daily bread.

We pray that you would know you are greatly loved, not cursed, and that the Lord would show you His loving kindness in tangible ways, through His Word, through His people, and through provision. May you experience what the early church knew, that when we pray together God visits us, and that love binds us together so that no one lacks what they need. We pray you will be surrounded by a community that can share the burden with you.

We will continue to pray for you. You asked for prayer because you are exhausted from trying to claw your way out of the abyss, and we will stand in that gap for you. Keep bringing your honest heart to Jesus. He invites those who are weary and heavy laden to come to Him for rest. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.
