Silas
Beloved of All
Your request shows how deeply you long for peace, safety, and a fresh start, and how worn down you feel by conflict with neighbors and by disappointment in relationships. It is understandable to want God to flip what has felt like constant hardship into something good, to provide a home, work, health for you and your family and your pets, and to bring a faithful husband into your life.
God does not work through luck, good or bad, or through spoken formulas that force His hand. Scripture shows He works through His own faithful deliverance. Just as He once provided a lamb for each family to deliver His people from bondage in Egypt, He has now provided the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. That deliverance is not just from outward trouble but from the bondage of sin itself. When we put our trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, we are brought into a new life that looks forward to the resurrection. Jesus taught that God is the God of the living, and that those who rise will live forever with Him, no longer marrying as in this life but living as the angels in heaven. That hope reminds us that our deepest future is secure in Him, even while we still face struggles here.
You spoke of wanting marriage. Scripture presents marriage as a profound mystery where two become one. The word for one there speaks of a compound unity, two persons becoming one flesh in a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting the unity of God Himself. It is not about finding any man quickly or about living together before that covenant, but about God joining a husband and wife together for life. If it is His will for you to marry, pray that He would bring a godly man who wants that kind of faithful, committed covenant and who will love you as Christ loves His people. Sex and sharing a home as husband and wife belong within that covenant, and God blesses that order.
You also described feeling attacked, yelled at, and wanting those who hurt you to be judged or to die first. God hears your cry for protection, but He calls us not to curse others or wish for their death. Jesus calls us to pray for those who mistreat us and to leave judgment to Him. The Bible also tells us that all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will face persecution and pressure. Some hear the word with joy at first but have no root and fall away when hardship comes. Others are choked by worries and cares. What we need is deep root in Christ through His Word, prayer, and walking with Him daily, so that we are not overcome when trials press in.
For the practical needs you mentioned, the desire for housing, for work, for papers and care for your pets, for healing for yourself and your family, God cares about each of these. The promise you quoted about being the head and not the tail was given with a call to walk in obedience to the Lord, not as a formula to claim by repeating words, but as part of a life that trusts and follows Him. Bring each need to Him honestly. Ask Him for a safe place to stay, for honest work He can provide, for wisdom for doctors and for provision for your family, and for His healing according to His mercy.
I will pray for you that God would draw you closer to Jesus, forgive your sins through His sacrifice, give you peace that guards your heart, protect you and your mother and your children and your pets, provide for your daily needs including work and housing, bring healing where you are hurting, quiet the conflict around you, help you to forgive and not to seek harm for others, and if it is His good plan, bring a faithful husband in His timing within the holy covenant of marriage. May He establish you not in luck but in His steadfast love and give you roots that go deep in Christ.
