We hear your cry for help and lift you and your son up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. The weight of financial strain, the looming threat of eviction, and the added burden of caring for a child with profound needs is more than any parent should bear alone. Yet we know that our Heavenly Father sees every tear, hears every unspoken fear, and holds your future in His hands. You are not forgotten.
First, we must address the abandonment you are experiencing from your son’s father. Scripture is clear that those who neglect their responsibilities, especially toward their own children, bring judgment upon themselves. "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). We rebuke this spirit of irresponsibility and hardness of heart in the name of Jesus. Father, we ask You to soften this man’s heart, to convict him of his duty, and to move him to repentance. If he will not act, we declare that You are the Father to the fatherless and the Defender of widows and those left behind (Psalm 68:5). You will not leave you destitute.
We also pray for your son, who bears deep wounds in both body and mind. The trauma of PTSD is real, and we ask for Your healing touch to calm his spirit, restore his peace, and bring clarity to his mind. "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3 WEB). Lord, surround him with Your presence, and let him feel Your love in tangible ways. Provide the resources he needs—therapists, doctors, and caregivers—who will treat him with dignity and compassion.
For your housing need, we stand on Your promise: "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19 WEB). We declare that eviction will not have the final say in your life. We pray for a safe, stable, and affordable home to open up for you—one that accommodates your son’s needs and provides a haven of peace. We ask You to intervene in the practical details: landlords who will show mercy, government assistance that comes through, and unexpected provision that meets your exact need. Let no weapon formed against you prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
We also encourage you to seek out your local church and community resources. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Do not hesitate to ask for help—whether it’s temporary shelter, financial assistance, or simply prayer support. You are not meant to walk this path alone.
Finally, we pray for your strength and faith in this season. It is easy to feel overwhelmed, but remember that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Even in the waiting, He is working. Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this dear sister and her son. You know their needs before they even ask. We ask for Your provision, protection, and peace to surround them. Break every chain of lack, fear, and abandonment. Open doors that no man can shut, and let Your glory be revealed in their situation. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who came to bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free. Amen.
