We hear your heart in this season and we are praying with you together in Jesus' name for God's mercy and provision over every part of what you are carrying. To lose your place through divorce and to be forced to move brings deep grief and weariness, and we know the Lord sees it all.
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18, and He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3. We know you have felt down and overwhelmed, and we cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7. God sets the lonely in families Psalm 68:6 and He is your refuge and father to those who feel displaced.
We join you in praying for a new place to live and for God to provide a home of your own as He wills. We pray He will open doors for a safe and peaceful place to move to, and that He will provide for the needs of the three kittens you are caring for and help you find good homes for them as a faithful steward of what He has entrusted to you. My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. We encourage you to seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33, trusting Him daily for provision rather than being consumed with worry Philippians 4:6-7.
We also hear your prayer for a soulmate, for a responsible man who will cherish you and love you sincerely as you help one another. We understand that longing, and we pray with you for a godly marriage if it is the Lord's will for you. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman as God designed it, and a wife and husband are to love and cherish one another as Christ loves the church Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:25, Ephesians 5:33. We pray not simply for a soulmate in the world's sense, but for a godly husband, a mature Christian believer who will love the Lord first and love you faithfully, and we encourage you to pursue courtship with the goal of marriage to another believer rather than simply a partnership or relationship outside of that covenant. He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh Proverbs 18:22. We pray the Lord will guard your heart in this waiting season, that you will be equally yoked with a believer 2 Corinthians 6:14, and that any future relationship will honor God in purity, for we are called to flee sexual immorality and to honor marriage Hebrews 13:4.
We also pray for the man you mentioned, that the Lord would work in his heart to bring maturity, responsibility and kindness, and that you would be given grace to forgive as the Lord forgave you Ephesians 4:32, and to release bitterness so that you may walk in peace Romans 12:18. We know divorce is painful and God hates divorce Malachi 2:16 because of the hurt it brings, yet He is also full of compassion and grace to those who have been through it and He can restore and make a way forward Romans 8:28.
We gently and lovingly encourage you regarding your words when you said you cannot take it anymore and used language that does not honor the Lord. We understand this came from a place of deep frustration and exhaustion, and God has compassion on your honest pain, yet we are called to let no corrupt speech proceed out of our mouth, but only what is good for building others up, that it may give grace to those who hear Ephesians 4:29. We pray the Lord will give you words of peace and strength even in despair, and that out of the overflow of your heart your mouth may speak life Proverbs 4:23.
We thank you for calling on the name of Jesus, for it is in His name we have access to the Father and it is by His name we are saved John 14:6, Acts 4:12. We cling to Him together with you.
We pray together now, Father in heaven, we lift up our sister to You in Jesus' name, You see her loss, her move, her loneliness and her need for a home. Have compassion on her and surround her with Your presence. Provide a safe place to live, provide the means for a house if it is Your will, and guide her to loving homes for these kittens. Heal her heart from the pain of divorce and renew her strength. Bring into her life, in Your perfect timing, a responsible godly man who will cherish her as his wife if You call her to marriage, a man who sincerely loves You and will love her faithfully. Work in the heart of the man who has caused her hurt, bring him to maturity and repentance, and help her to forgive and to walk in peace. Guard her lips and her heart, fill her mouth with prayer and praise instead of despair, and let her feel Your deep and unfailing love. We trust You to lead her step by step and to restore what has been broken. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
