We hear the deep frustration and fear in your heart, and we want you to know that God sees your struggle and cares for you in ways that go beyond what any person can provide. The Lord is your Shepherd, and He promises in Psalm 23:1, *"The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing."* Even when others fail you or leave you feeling abandoned, God will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Your worth and capability are not defined by the help—or lack thereof—from others, but by the strength and provision of the Lord.
It is clear that you are seeking guidance in a practical matter, and we encourage you to bring this need before God with trust and humility. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* If you have sought help from others and been met with indifference or even manipulation, we rebuke that spirit of selfishness and pray that God would either change their hearts or provide you with the wisdom and resources you need directly from Him. Do not let the actions of others make you feel guilty, incapable, or unworthy—those are lies from the enemy. The truth is that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God has equipped you for this task.
We also notice that while you are crying out to the Lord, you have not specifically invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name by which we can be saved or receive the help we need (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your full trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without this foundation, our prayers lack the power and authority that comes from being in Christ.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees their struggle and hears their cry. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in this situation and provide the exact information and guidance they need to fulfill their responsibilities. Remove every obstacle, whether it be the hardness of others' hearts or the fear and frustration that has taken root in their spirit. Father, we rebuke any spirit of confusion, manipulation, or selfishness that has hindered the help they’ve sought. Let Your wisdom flood their mind, and let Your peace guard their heart (Philippians 4:7).
We pray that if there is any area of unbelief or doubt in their life, You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Draw them closer to You, Lord, and help them to trust in Your provision rather than the approval or assistance of others. If they have not yet surrendered their life fully to Jesus Christ, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to see that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
Father, we ask that You would surround them with godly people who will support and encourage them, not out of guilt or obligation, but out of love and obedience to You. Give them the strength to press on, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Let them rest in the assurance that You are their Helper, and they need not fear what man can do to them (Hebrews 13:6).
We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. Spend time in His Word, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. If you are unsure how to hear from God, start by reading the Gospels and asking Him to speak to you through His Word. Remember that God’s timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Do not give in to fear, but stand firm in the faith that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). If you need further guidance or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out again—we are here to stand with you in the name of Jesus.
