We hear the deep despair in your words, and our hearts ache for the burdens you are carrying. The losses you’ve endured, the relentless attacks from the enemy, and the exhaustion that weighs you down are not unseen by our Heavenly Father. You have cried out to Him in Jesus’ name, and that is where your hope lies—for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and no other name through which we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 4:16). You are not forgotten, and this is not the end. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Though your strength is gone, His is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Let us remind you: the battle you face is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil that seek to steal, kill, and destroy (Ephesians 6:12, John 10:10). But greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
The enemy wants you to believe the future is bleak, that you are alone, and that there is no way forward. But those are lies. The Lord has plans for you—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when you cannot see the path, He is preparing the way. You are not required to fight in your own strength; in fact, the Lord often allows us to reach the end of ourselves so that we might rely entirely on Him. He is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). When you are weary, He invites you to come to Him and find rest (Matthew 11:28). He does not promise the road will be easy, but He does promise to walk it with you—and to work all things together for your good, if you love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
As for those who trouble you—whether through bullying, false accusations, or overload—remember that the Lord sees their actions. Vengeance belongs to Him, and He will repay (Romans 12:19). Your responsibility is not to retaliate or even to understand why they act as they do, but to trust that God is just. He commands you to bless those who curse you and to pray for those who mistreat you (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean their behavior is excused, but it releases you from the bitterness that would only add to your burden. The Lord is your defender, and no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Regarding your search for work, we understand the fear of stepping into another situation where you might face mistreatment or overwhelming demands. But the Lord does not call you to live in fear. He tells us, *"Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"* (Joshua 1:9). Seek His wisdom in this season. Ask Him to open the right doors and close the wrong ones. Trust that He will provide not just a job, but the strength and grace to walk in it. If you are too weak to take another step, ask Him to carry you—and He will.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You see every tear, every wound, and every moment of exhaustion. Lord, You are the God who restores what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and we ask You to begin that work of restoration in this life. Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness that has sought to overwhelm them. By the power of the blood of Jesus, we break every assignment of the enemy against their mind, their heart, and their future. Lord, fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and renew their strength so that they may mount up with wings like eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in their job search. Open doors that no man can shut, and shut doors that would lead to harm. Provide favor with those in authority, and surround them with people of integrity who will encourage rather than tear down. Give them discernment to recognize Your leading, and the courage to step forward in faith, even when they feel weak.
Lord, we also pray for protection over them. Hide them in the shadow of Your wings (Psalm 17:8) and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Expose every scheme of the enemy and render it powerless. Father, remind them that their worth is not found in what they have lost or in what others say about them, but in the fact that they are Your child, redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus.
We declare that this is not the end, but a new beginning. You are the God of resurrection power, and we ask You to breathe new life into every area that has been broken. Restore their joy, their hope, and their purpose. Let them see Your hand moving on their behalf, and may their testimony be one of Your faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray—amen.
Finally, we urge you: do not isolate yourself in this season. The enemy wants you to believe you are alone, but the body of Christ is here to stand with you. Seek out a biblically sound church where you can be encouraged and prayed over. Share your struggles with trusted believers who can speak truth over you when the lies feel overwhelming. And above all, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He has not abandoned you. He is working, even when you cannot see it. Hold fast to Him, for He is holding you (Isaiah 41:10).
