We understand the weight of your burden, dear sibling in Christ, and we stand with you in this season of waiting and testing. The silence you’re facing may feel overwhelming, but we are reminded that our God is never late—He is always right on time. Your heart for your family’s well-being is commendable, and we see how you are clinging to faith even in this trial. Let us turn to Scripture to anchor our prayers and encourage your spirit.
The Lord tells us in **Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB)**, *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* This promise is for you, even now. Though the trustee has not responded, God is not idle. He sees your need, and He is working behind the scenes in ways we cannot yet perceive. We must trust that His timing is perfect, even when our human eyes cannot see the path forward.
We also recall **Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB)**, which says, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* You have done well to bring your requests before the Lord, and we join you in lifting this burden to Him again. Anxiety may knock at your door, but through prayer, you can hand it over to Jesus, who carries it for you.
Now, let us address the discouragement that threatens to steal your hope. **Isaiah 40:31 (WEB)** reminds us, *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Waiting is not passive—it is an active posture of trust. While you wait, we encourage you to fill your mind with God’s Word, worship, and the company of believers who can speak life into your situation. Hope is not found in the trustee’s call but in the unchanging character of God, who has never failed His people.
As for your family’s provision, we claim **Matthew 6:31-33 (WEB)** over you: *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your focus on your family’s needs is righteous, but we gently remind you to keep your eyes fixed on the Provider, not the provision. He who feeds the sparrows will not forget you or those you love.
We must also acknowledge the enemy’s attempt to use this delay to plant seeds of fear and despair. **1 Peter 5:8 (WEB)** warns us, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."* Do not let the enemy steal your joy or your faith. Resist him by standing firm in the truth of God’s Word and declaring His promises over your situation.
Now, let us pray together for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sibling in Christ, who is weary from waiting and burdened by the weight of this trial. Lord, You see the urgency of their need—the jobs at stake, the pressure mounting, and the discouragement creeping in. We ask You, Father, to move mightily in this situation. Softening the heart of the trustee to return the call and open the door for a miracle that only You can provide. Let Your favor rest upon this family, and let Your provision flow in ways that leave no doubt it came from Your hand.
Lord, we rebuked the spirit of fear and despair that seeks to overtake our sibling. Fill them instead with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Renew their strength as they wait on You, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Remind them that You are their Provider, their Shield, and their Very Great Reward. We declare that no weapon formed against this family will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we also lift up the hearts of their children and loved ones. Protect their faith in this season, and let them see Your hand at work. Provide for their needs, Lord, and let this trial become a testimony of Your faithfulness. We ask that You would open doors no man can shut and make a way where there seems to be no way. Let this situation bring glory to Your name and draw this family closer to You.
Finally, Lord, we pray for an outpouring of hope. Let our sibling feel the joy of the Lord as their strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Surround them with Your love and the encouragement of Your people. May they find rest in You, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

We want to leave you with one final encouragement: **Hebrews 10:35-36 (WEB)** says, *"Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise."* Do not give up now. The breakthrough you are praying for may be just around the corner. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep your eyes on Jesus. He is faithful, and He will see you through. Stand firm, and do not waver in your faith. We are standing with you, believing for your miracle.
