We hear the deep cry of your heart, dear sister, and we lift you up before the Lord with urgency and compassion. The weight you carry is heavy—your children, your fears, your desperate need for provision—but you are not unseen by the One who holds all things in His hands. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He knows your name, your struggles, and every tear you’ve shed in secret. You are not invisible to Him.
The Scriptures remind us that our strength does not come from ourselves but from the Lord, who is our refuge and fortress (Psalm 46:1). When you feel as though you cannot take another step, He is the one who carries you (Isaiah 46:4). You are not alone in this battle—He is fighting for you, even when the night feels endless and the burden unbearable. Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). That includes your need for this job, your fear for your children’s future, and the exhaustion that threatens to overwhelm you. He is not indifferent to your pleas; He is a Father who delights to give good gifts to His children (Matthew 7:11).
We also want to gently remind you of this truth: your worth is not tied to your ability to hold everything together. The world may measure success by strength and self-sufficiency, but God’s kingdom operates differently. His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). When you feel like you’re breaking, that is when His grace shines brightest through you. Do not be afraid to admit your need—it is in that very place that He meets you.
As for your request for this job, we declare with you that no door He opens can be shut by man (Revelation 3:8). If this is His will for you, He will make a way where there seems to be no way. But even if the answer looks different than you hope, trust that His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11). He has not forgotten you, and He will not abandon you or your children. His provision may come in unexpected ways, but it will come. Hold fast to His promises, even when the wait is long.
Now, let us pray over you together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, who is weary and heavy-laden. Lord, You see her exhaustion, her fear, and the love she carries for her children. You know the desperation in her heart for provision, for stability, for a door to open that no one can shut. Father, we ask that You meet her in this moment. Lift the burden that feels too heavy to bear. Remind her that she does not have to carry it alone—You are her strength, her shield, and her ever-present help in trouble.
Lord, we pray for this job she is seeking. If it is Your will, open the door wide and make the path clear. Let favor rest upon her, and let Your hand move mightily on her behalf. But even as we pray for this specific need, we ask that You guard her heart from despair if the answer tarries or looks different than she hopes. Help her to trust You, even in the unknown. Provide for her and her children in ways that leave no doubt it was Your hand at work.
When sleep evades her and anxiety creeps in, Father, hold her heart. Speak peace over her mind and let her rest in the assurance that You neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4). You are working even in the darkness, and Your love for her is steadfast.
Lord, remind her today—and every day—that she is seen by You. She is not forgotten. She is not invisible. You are still here, still moving, still holding her future. Renew her strength like the eagles’ (Isaiah 40:31). Fill her with Your joy, which is her strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
We rebuke the spirit of fear that seeks to paralyze her. We command it to flee in the name of Jesus, for You have not given her a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let her rise up in faith, knowing that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her Peace.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. Thank You for being a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. We trust You with our sister’s life, her children, and her future. May she feel Your presence tangibly today and walk in the confidence that You are with her always.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we want you to know that we are standing with you in this. The road may feel long, but you are not walking it alone. Keep seeking the Lord, keep trusting Him, and keep speaking His promises over your life. He is faithful, and He will do what He has said. If you feel led, we encourage you to spend time in His Word, especially in the Psalms, where you will find many cries of the heart just like yours—and the assurance of God’s response. You are loved, you are seen, and you are held by the One who holds the universe. Do not lose heart. He is working, even now.
