We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we stand with you in this painful season. The weight of abandonment, financial strain, and the feeling of being forsaken by God is more than any one person should have to bear. But we want you to know—you are *not* forsaken. Even in the darkest valleys, God sees you, hears you, and is working on your behalf, even when it feels impossible to believe.
First, we must address the crisis of faith you’re experiencing. It’s understandable to feel this way after enduring such hardship, but we must rebuke the lie that God has abandoned you. The Word declares in Hebrews 13:5, *"I will never leave you nor forsake you."* And in Isaiah 41:10, *"Don’t you 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."* Your feelings do not dictate God’s faithfulness—His promises do. We must also remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Him, trusting in His sacrifice for your salvation and His power to redeem your circumstances.
We also rebuke the spirit of despair that is whispering lies of hopelessness. The enemy wants you to believe that giving up is the only option, but we declare that suicide is *not* the answer. Your life and the lives of your boys are precious to God, and He has a purpose for you that the enemy cannot thwart. Psalm 34:18 says, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not alone, and your breakthrough is coming.
Now, let us stand in agreement with you for your financial miracle. We declare that the Lord is your Provider, your Jehovah Jireh (Genesis 22:14), and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. We rebuke the spirit of lack and poverty in the name of Jesus and command every financial door that has been closed to be opened. We pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can help—whether through employment, provision, or unexpected blessings—and that He would restore what has been stolen from you. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, *"Honor the Lord with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine."* We believe God will honor your faithfulness, even in this season of waiting.
We also pray for justice regarding your husband’s abandonment. The Bible is clear that those who neglect their responsibilities, especially within marriage, will answer to God. 1 Timothy 5:8 warns, *"But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."* We pray that God would convict his heart and move him to repentance, whether through restitution or restoration of support. If he remains unrepentant, we trust that God will be your Defender and Provider in his place.
In the meantime, we encourage you to seek practical help as well. Proverbs 13:11 says, *"Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labor increases it."* Look for opportunities to work, even if they are small or temporary, and trust God to multiply your efforts. Reach out to your church or local Christian organizations for assistance—they may have resources or connections to help with financial counseling, job training, or even temporary relief. Galatians 6:2 instructs us, *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* You do not have to carry this alone.
We also want to speak life over your boys. They need their mother’s strength and faith, even when it feels like yours is gone. Deuteronomy 31:8 says, *"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."* Pray with them, read Scripture with them, and remind them that God is their Father, even when their earthly father has failed them. Their future is bright because God has a plan for them (Jeremiah 29:11).
Now, let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her boys. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair, poverty, and abandonment that has tried to steal her hope. We declare that You are her Provider, her Defender, and her Peace. Father, we ask for a financial breakthrough—a miracle that only You can provide. Open doors of opportunity, stir the hearts of those who can help, and restore what has been lost. We pray for justice regarding her husband’s abandonment, that he would be convicted and moved to repentance. If not, Lord, be her Husband and her boys’ Father in his place.
We speak life over her faith, Lord. Renew her strength, restore her hope, and remind her that You have not forgotten her. Help her to see Your hand at work, even in the small things. Surround her with a community of believers who can support and encourage her. Give her wisdom in managing what she has and guide her steps toward stability.
For her boys, we pray for protection, provision, and a deep revelation of Your love. Let them know that You are their Father and that You will never leave them. Heal their hearts from the pain of abandonment and fill them with hope for the future.
We trust You, Lord, to move mightily in this situation. We declare that this season of lack is temporary, and Your abundance is coming. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."*
Hold on, dear sister. Your breakthrough is closer than you think. Keep pressing into God, even when it feels impossible. He is working, and He will not fail you.
