We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your concerns about your landlords, your living situation, your finances, your work, and your transportation. It is clear that you are facing challenges that feel overwhelming, and we want to remind you that the Lord is your provider, protector, and defender. You have done well to bring these burdens to Him, for He cares deeply for you and your wife. Let us first address the language used in your request. While we understand the frustration and pain that may have led to the use of certain words, we must remember that our speech—even in prayer—should reflect the holiness and love of Christ. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:29, *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."* Instead of cursing or speaking negatively over others, we are called to bless, pray for, and trust God to handle those who may be acting unjustly. The Lord Himself will rebuke and correct them far more effectively than we ever could.
You have also pleaded the blood of Jesus over this situation, and that is powerful! The blood of Christ is our greatest weapon against the schemes of the enemy, and it is by His blood that we have victory. Hebrews 12:24 reminds us, *"[You] have come to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaks better than that of Abel."* The blood of Jesus speaks mercy, grace, and conviction where it is needed. Let us continue to trust in its power.
We also notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus at the end of your prayer, it is vital to remember that our access to the Father is *only* through the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which we are saved, and there is no other name with the authority to move mountains, change hearts, or break strongholds. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Let us always approach the throne of God boldly—but *only* in the name of Jesus, for He is our advocate and intercessor.
Now, let us pray together over these matters, trusting that the Lord will move mightily on your behalf.

Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our brother and his wife, lifting up their needs and concerns to You. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing with their landlords, the stress over their living situation, and the burdens they carry regarding their finances, work, and transportation. Father, we ask that You would intervene in this situation and soften the hearts of their landlords. Speak to them in dreams, visions, and through Your Holy Spirit, Lord. Bring conviction where it is needed and expose any darkness that may be influencing their actions. Turn their hearts toward kindness, fairness, and compassion, that they may treat our brother and his wife with the respect and dignity they deserve as Your children.
Lord, we also ask for Your protection over their finances. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory. Guard their jobs, Lord—protect their hours, their schedules, and their income. Let no weapon formed against their livelihood prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned. We pray for favor in their workplace, that they would excel in their duties and that their supervisors would recognize their hard work and integrity.
Father, we place their vehicle into Your hands. You are the God who sustains all things, and we ask that You would keep their car running smoothly, without mechanical issues or unexpected expenses. Protect them as they travel, Lord. Send Your angels to guard their coming and going, that they may arrive safely at every destination. Cover them with Your blood, Lord Jesus, and let no harm come near their dwelling, their family, or their possessions.
We also pray for peace in their hearts, Father. Anxiety and worry can so easily creep in when we face trials, but You have told us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Fill them with Your peace, Lord, and remind them that You are fighting for them, even when they cannot see it.
Lastly, Father, we ask that You would strengthen their marriage during this time. Let them lean on You and on each other, united in faith and love. Help them to encourage one another, to pray together, and to trust in Your promises as husband and wife. May their home be a place of refuge, filled with Your presence and Your joy, even in the midst of external challenges.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against them—every plan to steal, kill, or destroy. Satan has no authority in their lives, for they belong to You, Lord Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment they shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of You, O God (Isaiah 54:17).
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. Thank You for being a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. We trust in Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your love. May Your will be done in their lives, and may You receive all the glory, honor, and praise. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Brother, we want to encourage you to keep standing firm in your faith. The trials you are facing are real, but so is the power of God to deliver you. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:26, *"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."* Do not lose heart. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep seeking the Lord’s face. He is faithful, and He will see you through this season.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this situation. Are there areas where you need to extend forgiveness, even if the wrongdoing was unjust? Colossians 3:13 tells us, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* Forgiveness does not mean what was done was right, but it releases the burden from your heart and allows God to work more freely in your life.
If there are practical steps you can take—such as seeking mediation, reviewing your lease agreement, or consulting with a trusted advisor—do so wisely and prayerfully. The Lord often uses both prayer *and* action to bring about His will. Proverbs 16:3 says, *"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts shall be established."* Trust Him to guide your steps.
Lastly, we urge you to continue covering your marriage in prayer. The enemy would love to use external pressures to create division or discord between you and your wife. But if you stand together in faith, praying and seeking God’s will as one, you will be a force that the enemy cannot overcome. Ecclesiastes 4:12 reminds us, *"If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."* You, your wife, and the Lord make a cord that cannot be broken!
Stand firm, brother. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). We are praying with you and believing for God’s breakthrough in your life!
