We hear the pain and desperation in your questions and we are praying with you right now in Jesus' name. When you have to move and have no money, it can feel like God has forgotten you or even that He hates you, but that feeling is not the truth about who God is.
God does not hate you. He loves you deeply and completely. He is not blind to your struggle and He is not distant from it. We want to gently correct the thought that God does not see or care, because Scripture tells us the opposite is true. You are fully seen and known by Him. Psalm 139:1-4 says Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me. You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether. And 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
He knows you have to move. He knows you have no money. He knows the fear and the questions you are carrying. Jesus taught us that our Father knows what we need before we even ask. Matthew 6:31-33 says Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What will we eat, What will we drink or, With what will we be clothed For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first Gods Kingdom, and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. You are not forgotten. Psalm 34:18 says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. And nothing can separate you from His love, Romans 8:38-39 assures us that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from Gods love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We also notice you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and assurance of His love and care. It is not by our own goodness or by our questions, but by His grace. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 says 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. God showed His love for you by sending Jesus to die for your sins and rise again, so that you could be forgiven and be His child forever. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, confess your need for Him, believe He died and rose for you, and call on His name. That is how you can know His love and presence even in this hard season.
God does care about your practical needs like housing and finances. Philippians 4:19 promises My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. And Hebrews 13:5 reminds us He has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you. Isaiah 41:10 says Dont you be afraid, for I am with you. Dont be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
We are praying together for you now.
Father in heaven, we lift up this dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ. You see this need to move and the lack of money and the fear that comes with it. Lord, we ask You to forgive any doubt and to reveal Your unfailing love and nearness. Help them to know without a doubt that You love them, You see them, and You care. Provide for their needs according to Your riches, open doors for housing, for provision, for help from Your people, and give them peace that passes understanding as they cast their cares on You. Draw them close to Jesus, let them call on His name and find salvation and hope, and strengthen their faith to trust You one day at a time. Lead them to seek You first and to rest in Your promise never to leave or forsake them. We ask this in Jesus name, amen.
We encourage you to keep crying out to Him honestly, just as you have, and to bring your needs to Him daily in prayer through Jesus. Seek Him in His Word, and reach out to a Bible believing church family who can pray with you and help bear this burden practically. God knows, God sees, and God cares, and we are asking Him to make His provision and presence very real to you in the days ahead.

We hear how heavy the questions you are carrying sound, and they make sense when you are facing a move with no money to make it happen. Wondering if God hates you or has looked away does not mean you have failed, it means you are overwhelmed and need to know you are seen.
We want you to hear from us that God does not hate you. He knows where you are and what is pressing on you right now. His nature is to notice and to draw near, not to turn away blind. When everything feels uncertain, that nearness can be hard to feel, and it is understandable to ask if He cares at all. He does.
When the pressure is this practical, it helps to have another person standing with you in it. If you have a pastor, a local church, or a trusted friend or family member, we encourage you to tell one person this week specifically that you have to move and are without funds and ask if they can help you think through options or connect you to local assistance. You do not have to sort all the unknowns alone, and sharing the burden often opens up help you could not see by yourself.
Father, we lift them to You right now. You see the need to move and the lack of money and the fear underneath it. Show Your care in ways that can be felt, give wisdom for each next decision, and provide steady support through people nearby. We ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

God doesn't hate you...He loves you. Why don't you have money? Are you working? Why not? God's vision is perfect as is His hearing. Yes God cares, He has given you all the circumstances you have right now. Start making good choices and you'll be amazed at how your circumstances change!

Your question pierces the heart, Does God hate me, and the answer from the Word of God is that He does not hate those who seek Him, though by nature we are enemies until we are reconciled to God by the death of His Son. The first overtures for peace are not made by man the offender, but by our aggrieved and offended God, and all things are of God who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ. If you are in Christ by faith, you have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that peace is not broken by poverty or by the necessity to move.
Do not think for a moment that He is blind or that He does not know or care. He who sees the sparrow fall knows your need of money, knows the burden of moving, knows the fear that rises with each day. There is no true understanding of the truths of God except by a personal experience of them, and one of those truths is this, God pleads the cause of His people. The prophet could say, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul. Either by silencing enemies or by raising up friends, God can in providence plead the cause of your soul. He is not far off. He talks with those who fall on their face before Him, and He hears when they declare their ways to Him and cry, Teach me Thy statutes.
You ask, does He care, and the poverty of Christ is the answer. You cannot describe His riches and you cannot describe His poverty. He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. His poverty was voluntarily undertaken. It was great poverty to Him to be a Man, to have nowhere to lay His head, to bear sin and to cry, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me. He uttered that cry so that you might never have to utter it as one truly forsaken. He was forsaken for a season that you might be accepted. By His substitution we have acceptance with God, access to the mercy seat, fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, and the promise that we are made kings and priests unto God.
To feel forsaken is not to be forsaken. Our Lord Himself, though sinless and trustful, had an overpowering feeling that God was absent from Him, yet even then He cried, My God, My God, and kissed the hand that smote Him. When your heart and flesh fail, still live by faith and still cry, My God, My God. Tell Him all, as the Psalmist did, I have declared my ways and Thou heardest me. You need not confess in fine phrases, but pour out the very detail of your need, your want of money, your dread of moving, your fear that you are hated. He who is touched with the feeling of our infirmities will not be defiled by listening to your tale of sin and sorrow.
Why then do you complain of poverty as if it were a sign of hatred. If such are our riches in Christ, why do we complain. You are not hated if you are in Christ, you are chastened and kept, and it were better to smart under the rod of a Father than to be caressed by the world. Being justified by faith, you have peace with God, and if He chastens you, you can say, I would sooner be chastened by my Father than caressed by Satan.
Come then prayerfully dependent upon God, as one who knows that if left by divine grace you would go back unto perdition, and cast your soul upon the real Priesthood of Christ which God has confirmed with an oath for the strengthening of your faith. By two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie, He has given strong consolation to those who flee for refuge. Walk before Him in this trial, with an habitual sense of His presence, doing the right thing and shunning the wrong out of respect to His will, and look to Jesus until His image is formed in you.
He knows. He sees. He cares. He pleads your cause. Seek Him now in prayer, trust the blood and intercession of His Son, and ask Him to provide for your body as He has provided for your soul.
