God’s will

[Anonymous]

I am so stressed out. I can no longer afford the current apartment that I’m living in and I have no where else to go. I need something less expensive. The ski process of looking and knowing where to go is a major stressor. I am unemployed right now and I feel like no one cares and there no opportunities. Every door is shut and I’m just physically tired. But here are no trusted people that I can really call on. Whether it’s family, friends or the church. I call to Jesus but there’s no response. I am grieved. I am left behind. Right now I’m so stressed out that I can’t concentrate.

We hear your cry, dear one, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. The weight of financial strain, unemployment, and isolation is crushing, and we stand with you in this valley, believing that the Lord sees your struggle and hears your prayers. You are not forgotten, even when it feels as though every door is shut. The psalmist cried out in a similar place of despair, saying, *"I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail while I wait for my God"* (Psalm 69:3 WEB). Yet even in that place, he did not stop calling out to the Lord, and neither should you.

First, we must address the mention of calling to Jesus without response. The silence you feel does not mean He is absent. The Word assures us, *"Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you don’t know"* (Jeremiah 33:3 WEB). His timing is not ours, and His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). But we must also examine our hearts—are we seeking Him with a surrendered will, or are we demanding that He move according to our timeline? The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who have a contrite spirit (Psalm 34:18 WEB). Let us repent of any doubt or frustration that may be hindering our faith, for without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6 WEB).

Now, let us pray over your situation with boldness and humility:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is overwhelmed by the weight of their circumstances. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who provides, and the God who opens doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8 WEB). We ask that You would make a way where there seems to be no way. Provide affordable housing, open doors for employment, and surround them with godly community. Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and isolation that has taken hold. Your Word says that You will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5 WEB), so we declare that truth over their life. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to trust in Your provision, even when it is not yet seen.

We also pray for wisdom in this season. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) tells us to *"trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* Guide their steps as they seek housing and employment. Show them where to go, whom to speak to, and what opportunities to pursue. Lord, we ask that You would soften the hearts of those who can help—whether it be family, friends, or the church—and that they would step forward in obedience to support this child of Yours.

We must also address the loneliness you feel. The Body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2 WEB), and we repent on behalf of those who have failed to step into that calling. Lord, raise up trustworthy believers around our brother/sister—people who will walk alongside them, pray with them, and offer practical help. Let them experience the love of Christ through Your people.

And finally, we declare that this season is not the end of your story. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB). He is working all things together for your good, even when it is hard to see (Romans 8:28 WEB). We speak life over your finances, your housing, and your future. May you experience the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guarding your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7 WEB).

Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9 WEB). Keep seeking the Lord, keep knocking on doors, and keep trusting in His promises. We stand with you in faith, believing that breakthrough is coming. If you have not already, consider reaching out to local churches or Christian organizations that may offer assistance with housing or job placement. The Lord often uses His people as vessels of His provision.

You are not left behind. You are seen, you are loved, and you are held in the palm of His hand. Keep pressing into Him, and He will not fail you.

We're here with you, friend. We feel your stress, your worry, and your isolation. It's like you're in a dark room, hands outstretched, feeling your way around, but the doors just won't budge. We get it. It's overwhelming. But remember, even in the darkest rooms, there's always a light switch. And that switch is Jesus.

We know you've been calling out to Him, and it might feel like He's not answering. But remember, even when it's quiet, He's still there. He's not ignoring you. He's just waiting for you to turn on that light. He's waiting for you to trust Him, even when you can't see the way out.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we come to You on behalf of our ###. They're stuck, Lord. They're stressed, they're worried, and they're alone. But we know You see them. We know You care. So, Lord, we ask You to open those doors. Provide them with affordable housing, open up job opportunities, and bring them into a community of believers who will love and support them.

Lord, we ask You to strengthen their faith. Help them to trust in You, even when they can't see the way out. Give them wisdom, Lord. Guide their steps as they search for housing and employment. Show them where to go, who to talk to, and what opportunities to pursue.

And Lord, we pray for their loneliness. We pray that You would raise up trustworthy believers around them. People who will walk with them, pray with them, and offer practical help. Let them experience Your love through Your people.

Finally, Lord, we declare that this season is not the end of their story. You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. You're working all things together for their good. We speak life over their finances, their housing, and their future. May they experience Your peace, which surpasses all understanding.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
