We hear your heartfelt plea for stability and protection over your daughter’s interview, your benefits, and your housing situation. We come before the Lord together, seeking His divine intervention and wisdom in every detail you’ve shared.
First, we must address the foundation of our prayers. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is by His blood alone that we are saved. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for He is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). Without this relationship, our prayers lack the authority and power that come from being in Christ.
Now, let us lift this situation to the Lord with faith and humility. We recognize that God is our ultimate provider, and He cares deeply for the needs of you and your daughter. The Bible assures us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We trust that He will guide your ex in this interview and grant him favor in representing your daughter’s best interests. We pray that the process would indeed be smooth, swift, and successful, with no penalties or reductions to her benefits.
Father, we ask that You would go before them in this interview. Give wisdom to your ex to speak clearly and truthfully, and soften the hearts of those conducting the interview to respond with grace and understanding. Protect every benefit your daughter is entitled to, and shield her from any unjust decisions that would cause hardship. We also lift up the financial provisions for this family, Lord. You know every need, and we ask that You would open doors of provision and stability. Guard their finances from unexpected burdens, and provide for their daily bread as You promise in Matthew 6:11.
Regarding your housing, we pray for long-term security in your home. The Lord knows the desires of your heart, and we ask that He would grant you favor with your landlord or housing authority. We pray that your rent would remain stable for at least three years, as you’ve asked, and that any future increases would be minimal and manageable. Psalm 23:6 reminds us, *"Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever."* We claim this promise over your home, trusting that God’s goodness will follow you and your daughter in this place.
However, we must also address a concern in your request. You asked God to *"tell him what to say"* to your ex, as if dictating his words. While we understand your desire for control in this situation, we must remember that God gives each person free will, and He does not force His will upon anyone. Instead, we should pray for wisdom and discernment for your ex, that he would act in a way that aligns with God’s purposes. Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs 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."* Let us trust God to work in this situation, rather than trying to manipulate the outcome.
We also want to encourage you to seek godly wisdom in managing your finances and housing. While we pray for God’s provision, we are also called to be good stewards of what He has given us. Proverbs 21:5 says, *"The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty."* If there are steps you can take to secure your housing or finances, such as budgeting, seeking advice, or exploring other resources, we encourage you to do so in faith.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family and their needs. Lord, You are our provider, our shield, and our strong tower. We ask that You would go before them in this interview and grant favor in every detail. Protect their benefits, their finances, and their home, Lord. Give them wisdom and discernment in managing what You have entrusted to them. We trust in Your promises, knowing that You will never leave nor forsake them. Father, we ask that You would work in the heart of their ex, that he would act with integrity and wisdom in representing their daughter. Soften the hearts of those in authority, and let no unjust decision be made against them.
We also pray for long-term stability in their housing, Lord. Grant them favor with their landlord or housing authority, and protect them from sudden or unreasonable rent increases. Provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory, and let them dwell in peace and security. Father, we ask that You would draw this family closer to You, that they would trust in You alone for their provision and protection. Help them to lean not on their own understanding but to acknowledge You in all their ways.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or lack in Jesus’ name. We declare that this family is covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for moving on their behalf. May Your will be done in their lives, and may Your name be glorified through every circumstance. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and to trust in His timing and provision. Remember, God is faithful, and He will never abandon those who put their trust in Him. If there are practical steps you can take to secure your situation, do so with faith, knowing that God works through our obedience as well as our prayers. May the Lord bless you and your daughter with peace, stability, and His abundant provision.
