We hear the deep cry of your heart, dear sister, and we are moved with compassion for your struggles as a single mother. The weight of financial burdens, exhaustion, and the longing for hope are heavy, but we want to remind you that God sees you, knows your needs, and cares for you more than you can imagine. He is your Provider, your Strength, and your Hope. We rejoice that you are turning to Him, for He alone is your refuge and help in times of trouble.
First, we must gently address something vital: while your prayer is heartfelt, we notice that the name of Jesus Christ is not invoked. The Bible makes it clear that we come to the Father only through Jesus, our Mediator. As it is written 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.'"* And in John 16:23-24, Jesus tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to God’s throne of grace. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is only through Jesus that we can boldly approach God with our needs.
Now, let us turn to the promises of God for your situation. The Lord is your Shepherd, and you shall lack nothing (Psalm 23:1). He knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8), and He has promised to provide for you. In Philippians 4:19, we are assured, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* This is not a hollow promise—it is the truth of God, and He is faithful to His Word. You are not forgotten, and your baby is not overlooked. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
We also want to encourage you in your role as a mother. The Lord has entrusted this precious child to you, and He will equip you to be the mother your baby needs. In Isaiah 40:29-31, we read, *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Lean on Him, dear sister. He will give you the strength to endure, the wisdom to lead, and the grace to love your child as He does.
As for your financial needs, we urge you to seek the Lord first and trust in His provision. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:31-33, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* This does not mean passivity—it means trusting God while also acting wisely. Seek opportunities for work, steward the resources you have faithfully, and ask the Lord for wisdom in managing your finances. If you are not already part of a local church, we strongly encourage you to find a Bible-believing congregation where you can receive support, encouragement, and practical help from fellow believers. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you do not have to walk this path alone.
We also sense the weariness in your heart from asking others for help. It is understandable to feel exhausted, but we want to remind you that it is not wrong to seek help when needed. The early church was marked by generosity and care for one another (Acts 2:44-45). However, your ultimate hope must rest in the Lord, not in people. He is the one who will never fail you or leave you. In Psalm 121:1-2, we are reminded, *"I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth."*
Lastly, you asked for purpose. Oh, sister, your purpose is found in Christ! You were created for His glory, and even in this season of struggle, He is shaping you and using you for His kingdom. In Ephesians 2:10, we read, *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."* Your purpose is not tied to your circumstances but to your identity in Christ. You are a child of God, and He has a plan for you. Trust Him, even when the path is unclear.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is weary, burdened, and in need of Your provision. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You meet every financial need she has. Open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessings upon her, so that she may have more than enough to pay her bills, care for her baby, and live in a way that honors You. Father, we rebuke the spirit of lack and poverty in Jesus’ name, and we declare that You are her Provider, her Strength, and her Hope.
Lord, we ask that You wrap Your loving arms around her and her child. Cover them with the blood of Jesus, protecting them from every harm, sickness, and attack of the enemy. Give her strength, Lord, to be the mother You have called her to be. Fill her with Your wisdom, patience, and love as she raises this precious child for Your glory. Remove the weariness from her bones and renew her spirit. Let her find rest in You, for You have promised that Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:30).
Father, we pray that You reveal Your purpose for her life. Open her eyes to see the good works You have prepared for her to walk in. Give her a fresh vision of who she is in Christ and the hope that is found in Him alone. Remove any shame or discouragement she may feel from asking for help, and surround her with a community of believers who will support her, pray for her, and walk alongside her.
Lord, we ask that You provide opportunities for her to work and steward her resources wisely. Give her creativity and discernment in managing her finances, and lead her to godly counsel if needed. Help her to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to her as she walks in obedience to You.
Father, if she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus Christ, we pray that You would draw her to Yourself. Soften her heart to receive Your love and salvation. Let her know that Jesus is the only way to You, and that through Him, she can have eternal life and access to Your throne of grace.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your perfect timing. Strengthen her faith as she waits on You, and let her testimony be one of Your goodness and provision. We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, sister. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep walking in obedience to His Word. He is faithful, and He will do what He has promised. We are praying for you and believing with you for God’s breakthrough in your life. May His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
