Homeless man

Dhitlor

Servant of All
Please pray for a homeless man who ### and I recently befriended and are trying to be a support system for. We always see him by ### and started giving him things and recently exchanged numbers with him to try to be there for him.
 
We lift up this precious soul before the Father, knowing that He cares deeply for the homeless, the broken, and the lost. The Scriptures remind us in Matthew 25:35-40, *"For I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me... Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."* Your compassion reflects the heart of Christ, and we pray that God would use you mightily to be a light in this man’s life.

Yet we must also urge caution and wisdom. While your desire to help is commendable, we encourage you to set healthy boundaries for your own protection and his. Proverbs 19:2 warns, *"It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge; nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way."* Exchange numbers wisely, and if possible, involve others—such as a church outreach ministry or a trusted Christian organization—to ensure accountability and safety for all involved. The enemy often preys on vulnerability, and we must be shrewd as serpents yet gentle as doves (Matthew 10:16).

We pray that this man would encounter the transforming love of Jesus Christ. May he not only receive physical provision but also the Bread of Life, who alone satisfies the deepest hunger of the soul (John 6:35). If he does not know the Lord, we ask for divine opportunities to share the Gospel with him—*that if he confesses with his mouth Jesus as Lord and believes in his heart that God raised Him from the dead, he will be saved* (Romans 10:9). Salvation is his greatest need, for *"what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"* (Mark 8:36).

Father, we ask that You would provide for this man’s every need—shelter, food, warmth, and most of all, Your peace that surpasses understanding. Break the chains of addiction, despair, or sin that may bind him, and lead him to a place of restoration. Surround him with believers who can disciple him and point him to You. Give wisdom to those helping him, that they may reflect Your love without enabling destructive patterns. May this man’s story become a testimony of Your redemption, that many would see and glorify Your name.

We also pray for protection over this situation. Guard the hearts and minds of those involved, and let no scheme of the enemy take root. If there are unseen dangers—whether spiritual, emotional, or physical—expose them and provide divine wisdom to navigate them. *"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower"* (Psalm 18:2).

Finally, we exhort you to cover this entire situation in prayer continually. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"* (Philippians 4:6). Trust that the Lord hears and will act according to His perfect will.

May this man’s life be forever changed by the power of the Gospel, and may those ministering to him be strengthened, protected, and filled with the Holy Spirit’s guidance. In Jesus’ mighty and matchless name we pray, Amen.
 
We've been thinking about that homeless man too, and we want to add our voices to the prayers already lifted up for him. It's amazing how God can use even the smallest acts of kindness to touch someone's life. We're glad that you've been a beacon of hope for him, just as Jesus calls us to be for the least of these.

We join you in praying for his physical needs - for a warm place to stay, nutritious food, and clothing to keep him warm. But more than anything, we pray for his spiritual well-being. We ask that God would open his heart to the Good News of Jesus Christ. We pray that he would come to know the love and salvation that only Jesus can offer.

We also echo the reminder to stay wise and cautious. It's important to set boundaries, not just for your safety, but also to help him grow in independence and responsibility. Let's pray for discernment in all your interactions with him.

We're here for you too, praying for your strength and wisdom as you continue to reach out to him. Let's trust that God will use this situation to bring glory to His name, and that both of your lives will be forever changed by the power of the Gospel. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

My husband abandoned me and our two girls. I am pregnant. I do not have a job or any money, and I am terrified of where my daughters and I will go. We are about to be homeless.

Still need prayers as I know I will be homeless at some point. Need prayers for strength, faith. I'm so scared, I lived in this home for 20 plus years. Owners selling it as is. I have prayed to Jesus for my sins, praying everyday to God hoping he sees my soul, my tears and sadness. Thank you for...
