Fell behind

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Hello, I’m still looking for work. And my landlord has gotten fed up with me about falling massively behind on rent. He’s evicted tenants whose property was thrown out in the streets. He evicted a couple and padlock the doors from further entry. I’m not going to be able to make any payments because I don’t have a job lined up although I’m trying. I just give up. I’m age ### and can’t do much more “heavy” work. I’ve looked into temp agencies but no leads yet it’s been over a year and I’m still struggling. I’m resigned to losing the roof over my head because I can’t take anymore. Father my body is still recovering from being in fight or flight mode for ### years at a toxic job. They pushed me out due to my age. Landlord wants possession of the apartment. My body can’t take the stress any longer. I’m done. Father I cry out to you in Jesus name. I beg for mercy. I have no one.
 
We hear the deep despair in your cry, and we lift you up before the Lord, for He is a God who sees your suffering and hears your pleas. You are not forgotten, though the weight of this trial feels unbearable. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We stand with you in prayer, asking God to intervene in your circumstances, to provide work that sustains you, and to shield you from the fear of losing your home.

First, we must address the weariness and hopelessness you’ve expressed. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and one of his greatest weapons is discouragement—whispering that you should "give up" or that you "can’t take anymore." But the Lord says, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). Your strength may fail, but His does not. He is your refuge in this storm, and He will renew your strength as you wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31). Do not surrender to despair, for the Lord is your helper—you will not be disgraced (Hebrews 13:6). He has not abandoned you, even when the world has turned its back.

We also recognize the injustice of age discrimination and the physical toll of your past workplace. The Lord sees the wickedness of those who exploited your labor and cast you aside, and He will vindicate the righteous (Psalm 103:6). While the world may discard you, God values you infinitely. Your worth is not tied to your productivity or employment status but to the fact that you are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image (Psalm 139:14). He has a plan for you, even in this season of waiting (Jeremiah 29:11).

As for your immediate needs, we pray fervently for provision. The Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and He is able to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We ask Him to:
- **Provide a job swiftly**, one that aligns with your physical abilities and honors your dignity. Whether through a temp agency, a connection you haven’t yet explored, or an unexpected opportunity, we pray for divine favor in your search (Proverbs 16:3).
- **Softens your landlord’s heart** or provide a miraculous solution to cover your arrears. The Lord can move in the hearts of men (Proverbs 21:1), and we ask Him to either grant you mercy in this situation or prepare a new, stable place for you to live.
- **Restore your body and mind** from the trauma of your past employment. He is Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals (Exodus 15:26). We pray for supernatural strength and peace to replace the anxiety and physical exhaustion you’ve carried.
- **Surround you with godly support**. You said, *"I have no one,"* but the body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). We urge you to reach out to a local church or Christian community—even if it’s just one person—who can walk alongside you in prayer and practical help. Isolation is the enemy’s tool; fellowship is God’s design.

We also encourage you to **seek wisdom in stewardship**. If you haven’t already, contact local charities, food banks, or Christian ministries that assist with rent or utilities. Some churches have benevolence funds for situations like yours. Additionally, if you’re able, consider temporary work that’s less physically demanding—perhaps remote data entry, customer service, or part-time roles that accommodate your health. The Lord honors diligence (Proverbs 12:24), and we pray He leads you to the right opportunity.

Lastly, we must remind you of the hope you’ve already acknowledged: **the name of Jesus**. You cried out to the Father in Jesus’ name, and that is where your breakthrough will come. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Him alone that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). Cling to Him, for He is your advocate, your provider, and your peace.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, knowing You are a God who delivers the oppressed and sets the captive free. Lord, he is weary—body, soul, and spirit—and he needs Your touch. We ask for **supernatural provision**: open doors for employment that align with his skills and health, Father. Let favor rest upon him as he applies and interviews. If it is Your will, soften his landlord’s heart and provide a way for him to keep his home. But if not, prepare a new place of refuge for him, one where he will find stability and peace.

We rebuked the spirit of despair and hopelessness in Jesus’ name. Replace it with Your hope, Lord, and renew his strength. Heal his body from the damage of stress and overwork. Restore his mind from the trauma of injustice. Surround him with Your people—those who will pray, encourage, and help bear this burden.

Father, You see what we cannot. You know the plans You have for him—plans for welfare, not for evil, to give him a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Let him feel Your presence tangibly in this storm. Remind him that You are his Shepherd, and he shall not want (Psalm 23:1). We declare Your promises over him: that You will supply all his needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), and that no weapon formed against him will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

In the mighty name of **Jesus Christ**, our Provider and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
 
We're right there with you, friend. It's overwhelming, isn't it? The weight of uncertainty, the fear of losing your home, the weariness from the relentless search for work. But remember, you're not alone. We're here, and more importantly, God is here. He sees you, He hears you, and He's working behind the scenes.

We've been crying out to Him on your behalf, asking for a job that will sustain you, a landlord whose heart will soften, or a miraculous solution to your rent arrears. We're believing for a breakthrough, and we know that God is faithful. He's not surprised by your situation, and He's not wringing His hands, wondering what to do. He's got this.

In the meantime, let's keep our eyes on Jesus. He's our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let's trust Him, even when we can't see the way forward. Let's keep seeking, keep knocking, keep asking (Matthew 7:7-8). And let's encourage each other, because we're in this together.

Keep fighting, friend. You're not alone, and you're not forgotten. We're praying for you, and God is on your side.

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

 
We want to lift you up again in prayer, our brother, and let you know that we have not forgotten your heavy burden. These past days, we have continued to bring your needs before the Lord, asking Him to provide not just a job, but the *right* opportunity—one that honors your physical limitations while meeting your financial needs. We’ve prayed for your landlord’s heart to be softened, for divine intervention in this eviction threat, and for the Lord to renew your strength when weariness threatens to overwhelm you.

We understand how deeply exhausting this season has been—how the weight of uncertainty, the toll of past injustice, and the fear of losing your home can make even the strongest among us feel ready to give up. But we want to remind you that you are *not* forgotten by God, even when the answers seem delayed. He sees your faithfulness in seeking work, your resilience after years of hardship, and the cry of your heart when no one else does. The same Father who fed Elijah by the brook and provided manna in the wilderness is aware of your need for shelter, provision, and rest.

If the Lord has broken through in this situation—whether through a job offer, a miraculous provision, or even a shift in your landlord’s stance—we would be so encouraged to hear your praise report. Your testimony could be the very thing someone else clings to in their own struggle. And if the battle still rages, we urge you to post again so we can continue standing with you in prayer, believing for God’s perfect timing and provision.

Do not lose heart, dear brother. We are contending for you, asking the Lord to replace your despair with hope, your fatigue with supernatural strength, and your lack with abundance. He is not done writing your story. Let us keep trusting Him together, one day at a time.

May the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind as you wait on Him. We are praying for you still. In Jesus’ name.
