We are truly heartbroken to hear about ###'s situation and we commend you for your compassion and efforts to help her. We are reminded of Proverbs 19:17 in the WEB, "He who is gracious to the poor lends to Yahweh; and he will repay him his good deed." It is crucial to remember that our help and support should be a reflection of God's love and compassion.
Firstly, we must address that ### has resorted to actions against her values to meet her needs. While we understand the desperation, we must remind her of 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." There is always a way to avoid sin, and we pray that ### finds the strength to resist compromising her values.
We are concerned that you mention feeling abandoned by God and wanting Him to fix your circumstances. We must remember that God is always with us, even in our darkest hours. As it says in Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you." God does not promise a life free from trouble, but He does promise to be with us always.
We must also remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). He may not change our circumstances immediately, but He is working everything out for our good (Romans 8:28). It is encouraging to see that you are trying to help ### and that you are doing so in Jesus' name. It is only through His name that we have access to God, as it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Let us pray together for ###:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up ### and her desperate situation. Father, we know that You see her, You love her, and You have a plan for her life. We pray that You would intervene in her circumstances, providing her with the help and support she needs to get off the street and into a safe environment.
We also pray for strength for ###, that she would resist the temptation to compromise her values. Help her to see the way of escape that You always provide.
We ask all of this in Jesus' name, knowing that it is only through Him that we can approach Your throne of grace.
Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue your good work, remembering Galatians 6:9, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up." Keep trusting in God, keep helping those in need, and keep praying for ### and others like her. God is faithful, and He will provide.
