We hear the deep despair in your words, and our hearts ache for the heavy burdens you are carrying—financial strain, the trauma of past abuse, the fear of unemployment, and the suffocating grip of panic. Yet we are so encouraged that you have turned to the Lord Jesus in prayer, for He alone is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. You have called upon the name above all names, the name by which every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This is where your hope must remain anchored, for apart from Him, there is no lasting peace or solution.
The panic you describe is not from God, for He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). When the waves of anxiety rise, we urge you to fight back with the Word of God. Speak aloud the promises of Scripture over your mind and heart. The Lord says, *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10). He is not distant in your suffering; He is near, and He sees every tear you’ve cried over unpaid rent, every moment of terror from the abuse you endured, and every sleepless night spent wrestling with fear. You are not forgotten.
Your landlord may show no mercy, but our God is rich in mercy. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and He is well able to provide for your rent and every need. We pray that He would supernaturally open doors for you—whether through unexpected provision, a compassionate intervention, or a job opportunity that arises when hope seems lost. Remember how He fed Elijah by the brook Cherith (1 Kings 17:4-6) and later through the widow’s jar of flour that never ran dry (1 Kings 17:14-16). What He has done before, He can do again. Trust Him to be your Provider, even when the odds feel insurmountable.
As for the job search, we rebuke the spirit of discouragement that whispers "all hope is lost." The Lord is your Shepherd, and He *will* lead you beside still waters and restore your soul (Psalm 23:2-3). We pray that He would guide your steps to the right opportunities, that He would give you favor in the eyes of potential employers, and that He would shut doors that are not His will for you. While you wait, seek Him first (Matthew 6:33), and let this season draw you closer to Him. He may be preparing you for something greater than you can imagine.
We are deeply troubled by the man who stared at you and tried to follow you. This is not something to take lightly. We urge you to take practical steps for your safety: avoid walking alone, especially in isolated areas, and consider sharing your concerns with trusted believers or local authorities if this behavior persists. The Lord is your protector, but He also calls us to exercise wisdom. *"The prudent sees danger and hides, but the simple go on and suffer for it"* (Proverbs 22:3). We pray Psalm 91 over you—that He would command His angels to guard you in all your ways, that no harm would come near your dwelling, and that every plan of the enemy to instill fear would be thwarted in Jesus’ name.
Your mention of abuse at your prior workplace grieves us. If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek godly counseling to process this trauma. Unresolved pain can fester and deepen despair, but the Lord wants to heal you completely. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3). Do not carry this burden alone. Reach out to a pastor or a biblical counselor who can walk with you toward healing. If you are in the U.S., organizations like [Focus on the Family](https://www.focusonthefamily.com/) offer Christian counseling referrals.
Brother or sister, we want to remind you that your worth is not tied to your employment status, your financial stability, or the opinions of those who have hurt you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called according to His purpose. The enemy wants to steal your joy and paralyze you with fear, but *"greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Stand firm in this truth.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child to You, who is weary, afraid, and feeling overwhelmed by the storms of life. Lord, You see their every need—the back rent that looms over them, the panic that grips their chest, the uncertainty of tomorrow, and the lingering wounds from past abuse. We ask that You would be their Peace, the One who calms the raging sea with a word. Speak peace to their spirit right now, Father. Let them feel Your presence so tangibly that fear has no choice but to flee.
Lord, we pray for supernatural provision. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. Open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings they cannot contain (Malachi 3:10). Touch the heart of their landlord with compassion, or provide the funds needed to cover the debt in a way that only You can receive the glory. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and let this season of lack turn into a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Father, we pray for divine connections and job opportunities that align with Your will. Give them favor in the sight of those who can offer employment. Let no door remain shut that You intend to open, and let no opportunity pass them by. While they wait, strengthen their faith and remind them that delay is not denial. You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We come against the spirit of panic and anxiety in Jesus’ name. Lord, rebuke the devourer who seeks to steal their breath and their hope. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). When their heart races, let them remember that You hold their heart in Your hands. When fear whispers, let Your voice roar louder: *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5).
Protect them, Lord, from every evil scheme. Surround them with Your angels, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). If there are those who seek to harm or intimidate them, expose their plans and render them powerless. Be their shield and their strong tower (Psalm 18:2).
Heal their wounds, Lord—the seen and the unseen. Restore their joy and their strength. Let them rise from this season like an eagle, renewed and victorious. Remind them that their battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, and that You have already disarmed every ruler and authority through the cross (Colossians 2:15).
Father, we thank You that You are their Hope, their Provider, their Protector, and their Healer. Let them rest in Your sovereignty today, trusting that You hold their future. Fill them with Your Spirit and grant them the grace to take one step at a time, knowing You are with them.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to cling to Scripture in these moments. Write down verses like Philippians 4:19 (*"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"*) and Psalm 34:17 (*"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles"*) on index cards and place them where you can see them daily. When panic rises, declare God’s truth aloud. You are not powerless—you have the name of Jesus, and at that name, every knee must bow.
If you have not already, we urge you to connect with a local Bible-believing church. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you do not have to walk this road alone. If you are unsure where to start, websites like [Church Finder](https://www.churchfinder.com/) can help you locate a church in your area.
Lastly, if the panic attacks become unbearable, please seek medical attention. God often uses doctors and medicine as tools for healing, and there is no shame in asking for help. You are deeply loved, and your life is precious in His sight. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. He will not fail you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
