Beloved of All
Please pray for my unbelief. Still looking for work And Nothing yet Drowning in debt. Been applying and applying and I feel Inadequate Father. Help me in Jesus name. Been applying for 9 months to all sorts of jobs. Financial strain is there too
 
We hear the deep weariness and heartache in your words, and we stand with you in this season of waiting, lifting your burdens before the Lord. Your cry for help is heard—not just by us, but by the Father who sees your every effort, your every sleepless night, and your every prayer uttered in faith, even when unbelief creeps in. You have called on the name of Jesus, and that is where your hope lies. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is through Him alone that we approach the throne of grace with confidence (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 4:16). You have done well to end your request with the name of Jesus, for it is only in His authority that we find strength and breakthrough.

The enemy would love for you to believe the lies that you are inadequate, that your provision will never come, or that your children see you as anything less than the father God has called you to be. But we rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus. You are *not* inadequate—you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your worth is not tied to your employment status but to your identity in Christ. The Lord is your Provider, your Jehovah-Jireh, and He has not forgotten you (Genesis 22:14). Remember the words of Jesus: *"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?"* (Matthew 6:25-26). Your Heavenly Father knows your needs, and He will supply them according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

Nine months of searching is a long and wearying journey, but we encourage you to recall how God worked in the lives of His people when they waited. Joseph waited in prison for years before his sudden elevation (Genesis 41). The Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years before entering the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 8:2-4). Even Jesus waited thirty years in obscurity before His ministry began. Waiting is not wasted time—it is preparation time. The Lord is refining your trust in Him, stripping away reliance on your own strength, and positioning you for something greater than you can imagine. *"But they who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* (Isaiah 40:31).

As for your debt, we know the weight of financial strain can feel crushing. But the Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and He is able to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We pray that He would supernaturally provide—whether through an unexpected job offer, a debt canceled, or a creative solution you haven’t yet considered. *"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for."* (Malachi 3:10). If you have not been tithing, we encourage you to step out in faith and obedience, trusting God to honor His Word.

To the matter of feeling like an inadequate father: your children do not need a perfect father—they need a father who loves them, points them to Christ, and depends on God’s strength. The Lord is the ultimate Father, and He will equip you to lead your family well. *"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me."* (2 Corinthians 12:9). Your weakness is an opportunity for God’s strength to shine through you. Spend time in prayer with your children, showing them what it looks like to trust God in hard times. That is a legacy far greater than material provision.

Now, let us pray over you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to You, knowing that You are the God who sees and hears. Lord, we ask that You would strengthen his faith where unbelief has taken root. Remind him of Your promises, that You will never leave him nor forsake him (Deuteronomy 31:6). Father, we rebuke the spirit of discouragement, inadequacy, and fear that has tried to take hold of him. We declare that You are his Provider, his Shield, and his very great Reward (Genesis 15:1).

Lord, we ask for divine connections in his job search—open doors that no man can shut. Give him favor in the sight of those making hiring decisions. Provide a job that not only meets his financial needs but also aligns with Your will for his life. We pray for supernatural breakthroughs in his finances, that debts would be canceled, and that You would supply all his needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

Father, we ask that You would cover his family during this time. Be their Peace and their Provider. Give him wisdom as a father and husband, that he would lead his family in faith and trust in You. Let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness, not just to him but to his children and all who witness his journey.

We declare that this season of waiting will end in praise. Just as You turned mourning into dancing for Your people time and time again, we trust You to do the same for our brother. Give him patience to wait on Your timing, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Finally, we encourage you to keep pressing into the Word of God daily. Let it be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with believers who can speak life and truth over you. And remember: *"Let’s not get weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."* (Galatians 6:9). Your breakthrough is coming. Stand firm.
 
We're right here with you, brother. We understand the weight of uncertainty and the strain of waiting, but remember, God sees you. He sees your efforts, your sleepless nights, and every prayer, even the ones whispered in unbelief. You've placed your request in the right hands, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can find help and breakthrough than the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12).

We want to encourage you, not with empty words, but with the promise of God. He is your Provider, your Jehovah-Jireh, and He has not forgotten you (Genesis 22:14). Jesus Himself said, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will wear... Look at the birds of the sky... Your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:25-26). Trust that He knows your needs and will supply them according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

Nine months is a long time, but remember, God is not in a hurry because He's forgotten you. He's in a hurry because He wants to do something great in and through you. Joseph waited in prison for years, the Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years, and even Jesus waited in obscurity for thirty years. Waiting is not wasted time; it's preparation time. God is refining your trust in Him, stripping away reliance on your own strength, and positioning you for something greater than you can imagine (Isaiah 40:31).

As for your debt, we know the weight of financial strain can feel crushing. But remember, the Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and He is able to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We pray that He would supernaturally provide, whether through an unexpected job offer, a debt canceled, or a creative solution you haven't yet considered.

The Lord is the ultimate Father, and He will equip you to lead your family well. As Paul said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Your weakness is an opportunity for God's strength to shine through you.

Now, let's pray over you:
