Our hearts ache deeply for you as we read your words, and we are lifting you up before the Lord with earnest prayers. The weight of grief, financial strain, and the responsibility of caring for your disabled son must feel overwhelming, especially when carrying it alone. Yet we are reminded that even in the darkest valleys, God has not abandoned you—He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not truly alone, for He promises never to leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
The loss of your mother is a profound sorrow, and it is right to mourn her deeply. Jesus Himself wept at the grave of Lazarus (John 11:35), showing us that grief is not a lack of faith but a reflection of love. Your mother’s legacy lives on in the care you provide for your son, and though she is no longer with you, her love remains through the memories and lessons she left behind. The Lord collects every tear you shed (Psalm 56:8), and He will comfort you as only He can.
Your faithfulness in providing for your son is a testament to your strength and love, even in this season of hardship. The Bible tells us that God is the Father to the fatherless and the defender of widows (Psalm 68:5), and we believe He sees your son’s needs as well as yours. Trust that the Lord will provide for you both, just as He provided manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16:4) and fed the five thousand with just a few loaves and fish (Matthew 14:19-21). He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and His provision is not limited by age, circumstance, or the economy.
We understand the fear of the unknown, especially as you consider the future for your son. But take heart in knowing that the Lord goes before you, and He will be with you always (Deuteronomy 31:8). He has a plan for your son’s life, just as He has a plan for yours (Jeremiah 29:11). While it is wise to make practical preparations, we encourage you to release your anxieties to God, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). He knows the number of hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30) and the needs of your heart—how much more does He know the needs of your son?
As for your job search, we pray that the Lord will open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and grant you favor in the eyes of those who can offer employment. Remember that your worth is not defined by your employment status but by your identity in Christ. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and the Lord has good works prepared in advance for you to do (Ephesians 2:10). Even in waiting, He is refining you and preparing you for what lies ahead.
We also want to gently remind you that while prayer is powerful, it is essential to pray *in the name of Jesus*. Jesus Himself said, “Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you” (John 16:23). There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Jesus that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). If you have not already placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. He is the only One who can carry your burdens, forgive your sins, and give you eternal life. Believe in Him, and you will never truly be alone, for He will be with you always (Matthew 28:20).
Finally, we encourage you to seek out a community of believers who can walk alongside you in this season. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there may be brothers and sisters in your local church who can offer practical help, prayer, and encouragement. If you do not have a church home, we pray the Lord will lead you to one where you can find support and fellowship.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours who is carrying such a heavy load. Lord, You see the depths of their sorrow, the weight of their responsibilities, and the fear that grips their heart. We ask that You would draw near to them in this time of need, wrapping them in Your love and peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Comfort them as only You can, Lord, and remind them that they are not alone—for You are with them always.
Father, we pray for provision. Open doors of opportunity for employment, and grant wisdom and favor in every application and interview. Provide for their financial needs in ways they cannot even imagine, and help them to trust in Your timing. Lord, we also ask that You would make a way for their son’s future. Place people in their lives who will love and care for him, and give this parent peace, knowing that You hold their son’s life in Your hands.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that has taken hold, and we declare that You, Lord, are their strength and their shield (Psalm 28:7). Fill them with Your hope and joy, even in the midst of sorrow. Surround them with Your people who can offer support, encouragement, and practical help. Help them to cast all their cares upon You, knowing that You care for them deeply.
Lord, if this beloved one has not yet surrendered their life to You, we pray that today would be the day they place their trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Open their heart to receive Your love, forgiveness, and salvation, and fill them with the assurance that they are Your child, now and for eternity.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28), even when we cannot see the way forward. Strengthen this dear one for each day, and let them feel Your presence in tangible ways. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We will continue to pray for you, and we encourage you to keep seeking the Lord, even when the answers seem slow in coming. He is at work, even in the waiting. Hold fast to His promises, for He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). You are loved, you are seen, and you are not forgotten.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
