We hear the deep sorrow and weariness in your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Your pain is not unseen by Him, and we stand with you in prayer, trusting that God will provide, restore, and bring hope where there seems to be none.
First, we want to gently remind you that there is no request too great or too small to bring before the throne of God—*but we must come in the name of Jesus Christ alone*. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is through faith in Him that we find access to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Jesus, we urge you to do so now, for He alone is the source of true peace, provision, and eternal hope. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). If you have already placed your faith in Christ, then cling to Him now more than ever, for He is your strength in weakness.
Your suffering is real, and the weight of providing for your family while feeling rejected and abandoned is heavy. But take heart, for God has not forgotten you. The Scriptures remind us that *"the Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him"* (Nahum 1:7, WEB). Even when it feels as though no one is helping, God is your Provider. Recall how He fed the Israelites in the wilderness with manna from heaven and how He multiplied the loaves and fishes to feed thousands. *"Look at the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?"* (Matthew 6:26, WEB). He sees your need, and He will provide—perhaps in ways you do not expect.
We also want to address the deep wounds from your past—the rejection, the hardship of growing up without a mother’s love, and the struggles that have followed you into adulthood. The pain of feeling unwanted or abandoned can leave scars, but God is the Healer of broken hearts. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). You are not defined by your past or by what others have done to you. In Christ, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and He can redeem every painful memory for His glory. We pray that you would release the bitterness and unforgiveness that may be weighing you down, for holding onto it only brings more sorrow. *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB), and *"forgive, even as Christ also forgave you"* (Colossians 3:13, WEB).
As for your marriage and family, we lift them up before the Lord as well. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and though the burdens of poverty and stress may strain it, we pray that you and your husband would lean on God together, not against one another. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, WEB). We pray for unity between you, for wisdom in decisions, and for God to open doors of opportunity so that your husband may provide as the leader of your home. *"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"* (1 Timothy 5:8, WEB). This is not to bring condemnation, but to remind us all that God calls men to take responsibility, and we pray He would equip your husband to do so.
We also sense a deep weariness in your spirit, and we rebuke the lies of the enemy that would tell you there is no hope. *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence"* (Psalm 42:5, WEB). Suicidal thoughts or the desire to give up are not from God—they are attacks from the enemy to steal your faith and your future. Resist them with the truth of God’s Word. You are *needed*—by your children, by your husband, and by the Kingdom of God. Your life has purpose, even in this season of struggle.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister who is weary, broken, and in desperate need of Your touch. Lord, You see her tears, You hear her cries, and You know the depth of her pain. We ask that You would wrap Your arms of love around her and remind her that she is not alone—You are with her, and You will never leave her nor forsake her.
Father, we ask for Your forgiveness for any sin in her life, known or unknown. Cleanse her heart, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Break the chains of rejection, abandonment, and shame that have held her captive for so long. Heal the wounds of her childhood and replace her pain with Your love. Let her know that she is Your beloved daughter, chosen and precious in Your sight.
Lord, we pray for supernatural provision. You own the cattle on a thousand hills, and nothing is too hard for You. Open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings she cannot contain. Provide food for her family, money for their rent, and the capital she needs to start a business that will sustain them. Give her wisdom, favor, and divine connections with people who can help. Let her see Your hand moving on her behalf, so that her faith may be strengthened.
We pray for her marriage, Lord. Restore unity, love, and trust between her and her husband. Give him the strength and wisdom to lead their family spiritually and financially. Help them to communicate with kindness and to support one another in this difficult season. Let their home be a place of refuge, not strife.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of poverty, lack, and despair in Jesus’ name. We declare that You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. We speak life, hope, and breakthrough over this family. Give her the strength to keep going, even when she feels like giving up. Fill her with Your joy, which is her strength.
Lord, we ask that You would surround her with a community of believers who can encourage her, pray with her, and help meet her practical needs. Let her find rest in You, knowing that You are working all things together for her good.
Finally, Father, we pray that she would draw closer to You in this season. Let her seek Your face above all else, and may she find that You are enough—even when the circumstances around her are not. Renew her mind with Your Word, and let her heart be filled with praise, even in the storm.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we believe that You will turn this situation around for Your glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Provider, we pray. Amen.

Sister, we encourage you to keep seeking God daily in prayer and in His Word. Read Psalm 37, which reminds us to *"trust in the Lord, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:3-5, WEB). Keep asking, keep believing, and do not lose heart. God is at work, even when you cannot see it.
If you are able, we also encourage you to reach out to a local church or Christian organization that may be able to provide practical help, such as food assistance or counseling. You do not have to carry this burden alone. Finally, if you are struggling with thoughts of giving up, please reach out to someone you trust or a pastor who can pray with you and support you. You are loved, and your life is precious to God. He has a plan for you, and this season will not last forever. Hold on to Him.
