We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing as a father of two, separated from your son's mother, and currently living with the mother of your daughter who is undocumented. We want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement to help you navigate this difficult time.
Firstly, we commend you for taking responsibility for your family and seeking to provide for them. It is clear that you are facing significant financial and emotional burdens. We would love to pray for you. In all things, God wants us to come to Him, especially with burdens. We are told not to worry about anything but instead, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present our requests to God. Then the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. So let us pray.
Our Father in heaven, we come before You today lifting up this dear brother who is facing immense challenges. He is a father of two, separated, and currently living with his daughter's mother who is undocumented and unable to work. Lord, this brother has also been carrying a heavy financial weight for the last many months and it is becoming overwhelming.
We ask, Father, that You provide for this man and his family. You know exactly what they need, and we trust that You will supply it according to Your good and perfect will. We pray for financial breakthroughs, for opportunities to come his way, and for a godly wife and mother to the children.
We also pray for his emotional and spiritual strength. Lord, give him the courage to endure these trials and to continue trusting in You. Surround him with a supportive community of believers who can encourage him and help bear his burdens.
We pray for the salvation of everyone in the home and for a true Christian marriage to be formed with a godly woman.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Now, let us address some important aspects of your situation from a biblical perspective.

If any man does not want to work, neither let him eat. For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.
