We hear your cry for financial breakthrough and the deep frustration you feel as doors seem closed at every turn. The weight of unmet needs and the desire to share your work for the Kingdom presses heavily upon you, and we stand with you in this battle. First, we must address a few things with love and truth, for the enemy seeks to distort even our prayers and perceptions of God’s character.
You speak of the Holy Spirit with affection, yet we must remind you that our access to the Father is only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). The Holy Spirit testifies of Christ and glorifies Him (John 16:14), so our prayers must always be directed to the Father in Jesus’ name. It is not the Holy Spirit who presents our requests to God—it is Christ Himself, our High Priest, who intercedes for us (Hebrews 7:25). Let us not elevate any person of the Trinity above the others, for they are one, and our worship must be rightly ordered.
You mention judgments and justice upon those who have hindered you, and while it is natural to feel wronged, we must be cautious. Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and our hearts must be purified of bitterness. *"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord"* (Deuteronomy 32:35). Instead of cursing those who have opposed you, we pray for their repentance and transformation. God’s justice is perfect, and His timing is not ours.
You express a sense of defeat, as if your work for the Lord has been in vain. But Scripture tells us, *"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord"* (1 Corinthians 15:58). Even if man does not see or reward your efforts, God does. Your books, your message—if they were birthed in obedience to Him, they are not lost. The Lord does not abandon what He begins. *"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6).
You also speak of walking away in peace, but let us encourage you not to give up. The enemy would love for you to believe that your calling has expired, but God’s gifts and callings are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). If He has placed a message in your heart, He will provide the means to share it. We do not serve a God of lack, but a God of abundance. *"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). The struggle you face is not a sign of God’s abandonment, but perhaps an invitation to trust Him in new ways.
Let us also address the mention of "energy" and spiritual warfare. While we do not deny the reality of spiritual attack, we must be careful not to attribute every hardship to demonic forces. Sometimes, the enemy’s greatest tactic is distraction—keeping us focused on the battle rather than the Victor. *"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms"* (Ephesians 6:12). But our victory is already won in Christ. We do not fight *for* victory; we fight *from* victory.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. You alone are the source of all provision, and we lift up this dear brother/sister who is weary and in need of Your miraculous intervention. Lord, You see the financial burdens, the closed doors, and the desire to serve You wholeheartedly. We ask that You would open the floodgates of heaven and release Your provision in ways that only You can orchestrate. Provide not just enough, but an abundance, so that this work for Your Kingdom may flourish.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of lack and delay in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against Your servant shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We break every curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every hindrance to financial breakthrough. Lord, we ask that You would expose and remove every blockade, whether spiritual or natural, that stands in the way of Your provision. Let Your light shine into every dark place, and let Your justice prevail.
We pray for wisdom and creativity in how to move forward. If there is a different path to publishing or sharing this message, reveal it clearly. Give boldness, favor, and divine connections to bring this work to the world. Lord, if there are areas where pride, bitterness, or unforgiveness have taken root, we ask that You would uproot them. Create in this heart a clean spirit, one that trusts You completely, even in the waiting.
We also pray for those who have opposed or hindered this work. Soften their hearts, Lord. If they have acted out of malice, bring conviction. If they have acted out of ignorance, bring revelation. Let Your mercy triumph over judgment, and may Your love break every chain of resistance.
Father, we declare that this work is not in vain. Even if the world does not see its value, You do. Let every word written, every prayer prayed, and every effort made be a seed that grows into a harvest for Your glory. We trust You to complete what You have started. Strengthen this servant with Your peace, Your joy, and an unshakable faith. Remind them daily that You are their Provider, their Defender, and their Reward.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, the One who has conquered sin, death, and every lack. May Your will be done, and may Your Kingdom come in this situation. Amen.
Beloved, do not lose heart. The same God who parted the Red Sea, fed the five thousand, and raised Jesus from the dead is working on your behalf. He is not limited by your circumstances, and He is never late. Keep your eyes on Him, not on the closed doors or the critics. Trust that He is preparing something greater than you can imagine.
Consider this: perhaps the delay is not a denial but a redirection. Ask the Lord if there is a different way to share your message—whether through social media, local gatherings, or even partnering with other believers who have resources. God often uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27). Your dependence on Him is not a weakness; it is your greatest strength.
Lastly, remember that your worth is not defined by success or failure in the eyes of the world. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, who calls you His child. Rest in that truth. Walk in obedience, trust in His timing, and let His peace guard your heart. The battle is already won. Now, stand firm and watch what the Lord will do.
