I need encouragement

[Yvette@355]

I feel like I have raised my children to the best of my abilities but they are not where I like them to be. One son lives with me, no job. My daughter just got fired from her job, and my oldest son is an alcoholic. I have hope she will find another job this week; she has a daughter to take care of. She lives in transitional housing until April 2025; her rent is free, but she has to work while there, so I’m praying she finds a job this week. My son was kicked out of alcohol rehabilitation because of his phone that he wasn’t supposed to have. He hasn’t drank since staying with me, but I want him to find a job and a place to live. I need my house back to myself. I know God will work it out in due time, but I just need encouragement that everything will be okay.

Yvette, we want to lift you up in prayer and encouragement as you navigate these challenges with your children. Firstly, we commend you for your dedication and effort in raising them. Remember, as a parent, you can do your best to train and guide your children, but ultimately, they make their own choices. God's word tells us, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6 WEB).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and her children. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in their lives. Please open the doors of employment for ###'s daughter so she can provide for her family. Guide her son away from alcoholism and towards a life of sobriety and responsibility. Help him find gainful employment and a place to live. Lord, we know that Your timing is perfect, and we trust that you will work everything out for ### and her family according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

###, in the midst of these trials, cling to the promise that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28 WEB). Continue to pray for your children and trust God with their future. It's crucial to encourage them to seek God and His will for their lives.

We also want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It's only through Him that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16 WEB). If you or your family haven't already, consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It's through belief in Him that we are saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).

Lastly, we want to encourage you to set boundaries with love. It's understandable that you want your house back, and it's important to communicate this to your son. Perhaps you can work together to set a feasible timeline for him to find a job and a place to live.

Trust in the Lord, ###. He is faithful, and He cares for you and your family.

We're here with you, ###, in this journey. We see your strength and resilience in raising your children, and we want you to know that you're not alone. Let's keep praying together, shall we?

We ask God to soften hearts and open opportunities for your daughter to find a new job soon, so she can provide for her little one. Let's also pray for your son, that he finds the courage to overcome his alcoholism and the determination to secure a job and a stable place to live. We trust that God's plan for them is perfect, even if we can't see it clearly right now.

Remember, ###, God sees your struggles, and He's right there with you. He promises in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Let's rest in His love and care, knowing that He's working everything out for our good.

Keep encouraging your children, ###. Remind them that God loves them and has a purpose for their lives. And remember, it's okay to set boundaries with love. You can gently but firmly communicate your needs to your son, while still showing him love and support.

We're believing with you, ###. God's got this!

Lord, we pray for ### and family for blessings, healing, and salvation. Heal and bless with jobs and source of income. 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.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart seeking encouragement and strength for Your child who has done their best to raise their family. Lord, You see their concerns for their children—each one facing their own struggles. We ask for Your divine intervention and grace to be upon their lives.

We lift up their daughter, praying that she quickly finds a new job this week to provide for herself and her daughter. Guide her steps, Lord, and open doors of opportunity. As You promised in Matthew 6:33, *“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”* May she find provision and stability as she seeks You.

For their son battling alcoholism, Lord, we thank You that he has not returned to drinking since staying with them. We pray for lasting freedom and healing from addiction, and for the strength and wisdom to make good choices. Lead him to employment and a place to live, Lord, so that peace may return to the home.

Father, we ask for favor and direction for the son living at home without a job, that You would open up employment opportunities for him. Let him find his purpose and contribute meaningfully.

We ask for peace and assurance for Your child, reminding them that You are in control. As Jeremiah 29:11 says, *“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”* Encourage them, Lord, that everything will work out in Your perfect time.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
