We hear the urgency in your cry and we stand with you before the throne of grace in Jesus' name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. You mentioned the blood of Jesus and we thank God that you know His name, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved as it says in Acts 4:12, and it is written in John 14:6 that Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
We grieve to hear that you have endured cruel abuse done in secret. Know that God sees what is done in secret and He is close to the brokenhearted. It is written in Psalm 34:18 Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. And in Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Abuse is evil and is not God's will for you. We pray for your immediate safety and deliverance, and we urge you to seek godly help right away if you are in danger, including reaching out to trusted pastors, biblical counselors, and the proper authorities who can help provide safe housing, for God often provides protection through His people and through lawful means. We pray the Lord will open a safe and affordable home for you and for your beloved cats, that He will guard you and your family and your pets, for He cares for all His creation.
You have claimed Deuteronomy 28:13 which says Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail, and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God. We want to gently encourage you that this promise was given to Israel as part of the blessings for obedience to the Lord, and it still shows God's heart to lift up His obedient children, but we do not loosen or use verses as incantations to force God's hand or to speak things into existence by our own words. Rather we humbly submit to His sovereign will and pray according to His word. It is written in 1 John 5:14 that this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And in Matthew 6:33 we are told But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. We pray not that our will be done by declaration, but that His perfect will be done in your life.
We also hear your desire for a trailer to live in, a truck, and to start a mobile tattooing business and to travel. We bring these desires before the Lord and ask for His provision and His wisdom. We pray as it says in Philippians 4:19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, and that He will grant you clear direction and an affordable, clean and safe provision that allows you to care well for your cats and your family. At the same time we must lovingly speak the truth about tattooing, for the Scripture says in Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. I am Yahweh. And in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 we are taught that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and we are to glorify God in our body. We encourage you to seek the Lord deeply about this business path and ask whether it honors Him, and to ask for wisdom as promised in James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. There are many other honest and creative ways to provide for yourself and to travel that can bring glory to God, and we pray He will show you the best path that aligns with His word.
You spoke of portaling through you at your job and spiritual oppression, and we agree with you that we do not want anything of Satan operating in your life. We rebuke the enemy's work and we stand on James 4:7 Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. And in 2 Thessalonians 3:3 we read But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood as Ephesians 6:12 teaches, and our weapons are spiritual through prayer, the Word, and obedience to Christ, not through our own formulas. We pray for God's protection over your mind, body, and workplace, that no evil influence would have any place in you, and that the peace of God would guard your heart.
You also shared your desire for your own relationship. We pray that God will bring into your life, if it is His will, a godly marriage that honors Him, for marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman for life. We encourage you during this season of seeking stability and healing to pursue purity and to seek a spouse who is a faithful believer in Christ, with courtship centered on Christ and with the goal of holy marriage, rather than living together or intimacy outside of marriage which Scripture calls fornication. We pray God will heal your tears, for it is written in Psalm 56:8 You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your record, and in Isaiah 41:10 Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we lift this dear one to You in the mighty name of Jesus. You see the secret abuse and the pain and the tears, and we ask You to be a refuge and a fortress as Psalm 91:1-2 declares. Rescue and hide Your child under Your wings, break every chain of abuse and oppression, and lead to a safe, clean, affordable home, whether a trailer or other dwelling You provide, where there is peace and safety for this soul and for the cats entrusted to their care. Provide the right truck and means of provision according to Your riches and wisdom, and close every door that is not in Your will and open the doors that are. Grant wisdom about work and future, convict and guide regarding the tattoo business, and show a path that glorifies You and provides with integrity. Guard this one's mind and workplace from every evil influence, let no weapon formed against them prosper, and fill them with Your peace that passes understanding so the crying may be turned to joy. If it is Your will, in Your perfect timing bring a godly spouse for a Christ centered marriage, and help this one to walk in purity and obedience while waiting on You. Establish them as head and not tail as they walk in obedience to You, not by incantation but by faithful trust in Christ. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
