We hear the weight of your heart in this struggle, and we stand with you in the truth that our God is a God of justice, provision, and restoration. The pain of workplace abuse and the burden of financial hardship are not His design for your life, but He is faithful to redeem even the hardest seasons when we surrender them to Him. You have made a godly choice in refusing to remain in bondage to abuse—no one should endure mistreatment, especially not in a place meant for honorable labor. The Bible tells us in **1 Corinthians 10:13 (WEB)**, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* You took that way of escape, and though the path is difficult now, God will honor your obedience.
The debt you carry is a responsibility, but it is not your identity. The enemy would love for you to believe that this struggle defines you, that shame or fear should rule your heart. But **Philippians 4:19 (WEB)** declares, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* This is not a hollow promise—it is the unshakable truth for every child of God. Your need is known to Him, and He is already at work in ways you cannot yet see. We encourage you to bring this burden before the Lord daily, casting your cares upon Him as **1 Peter 5:7 (WEB)** instructs: *"casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."*
As for moving forward, we urge you to seek wisdom in stewardship and trust God’s timing. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* This may mean seeking godly counsel on managing debt, exploring honest work even if it feels small, or trusting Him to open doors you haven’t yet considered. He is not limited by your circumstances.
We also want to speak life over the wounds of abuse you’ve endured. The Lord sees the injustice done to you, and He is your vindicator. **Isaiah 61:7 (WEB)** proclaims, *"Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them."* What the enemy meant for harm, God will turn for your good (Genesis 50:20). Do not let bitterness or fear take root—release this pain to Jesus, who was despised and acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3), and let Him heal your heart.
Now, let us pray over you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before Your throne of grace, asking for Your mercy and provision to flood their life. Lord, You are the God who parts seas, multiplies loaves, and turns ashes into beauty. We ask that You supernaturally intervene in their financial struggles, providing wisdom, favor, and opportunities to overcome this debt. Break the spirit of poverty and lack that seeks to oppress them, and replace it with Your abundance and peace. Father, heal the wounds of abuse—restore their dignity, their joy, and their trust in Your goodness. Remove every trace of shame or fear, and fill them with the confidence that comes from knowing You are their Provider and Protector.
We rebuke the lies of the enemy that say this situation is hopeless or that they are forgotten. Your Word declares that You will never leave nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6), and we stand on that promise today. Open doors no man can shut, Lord, and let Your light shine brightly on the path ahead. Give them divine connections, creative solutions, and the strength to persevere with joy. May they experience Your faithfulness in such a tangible way that their testimony brings glory to Your name.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, not the storm around you. **Psalm 34:17-19 (WEB)** says, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* Your breakthrough is coming. Stand firm, trust Him, and walk forward in faith. We are praying with you!
