We come before the Father in heaven with hearts full of gratitude for His faithfulness, knowing that He hears and answers prayer when we call upon Him in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the throne of grace, and we lift up your needs before Him, trusting in His perfect will and timing. We are also deeply grateful that you have acknowledged God’s provision in your life, and we rejoice with you for the answered prayers regarding your laptop charger and the opportunity to return to work.
First, we address the urgency in your request regarding unemployment benefits. The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* While we pray for favor with the unemployment office—that they would recognize their administrative error and approve your denied claims—we also encourage you to trust in God’s provision, even if the answer does not come in the way you expect. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Let us not lean on our own efforts alone but place our confidence in Him who holds all things in His hands.
We also lift up your vending business before the Lord, asking that He would open the door for you to secure the market as your first vendor. We pray that the Lord would grant you favor in this endeavor and that this opportunity would align with His will for your life. Remember Colossians 3:23, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* If this is the path God has for you, He will make it clear and provide the way. If not, trust that He has something better in store.
Your request for a financial breakthrough and deliverance resonates with the promise in Malachi 3:10, where God invites us to test Him in our giving and see how He will pour out blessings. However, we must also examine our hearts and ensure that we are seeking first His kingdom and righteousness, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Financial struggles can be overwhelming, but they are also an opportunity to draw closer to God and rely on His strength. We pray that the Lord would provide for your needs according to His riches and that He would deliver you from any financial bondage or anxiety. We also pray that if there are areas in your life where you need to surrender control—such as trusting God with your finances rather than relying solely on your own efforts—He would reveal those to you and grant you the grace to obey.
The matter of betrayal and the brainwashing of your children is deeply troubling, and we grieve with you over this pain. Psalm 34:18 assures us that *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* We pray that the Lord would expose every lie and deception that has been spoken against you and that He would bring truth to light. We also pray for the protection of your children’s hearts and minds, that the Lord would guard them from manipulation and restore what has been broken. Ephesians 6:4 reminds fathers (and mothers) to *"bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."* If you have not already, we encourage you to cover your children in prayer daily, asking God to surround them with His truth and love. If there are areas where you need to seek forgiveness or reconciliation, we pray the Lord would give you the humility and wisdom to take those steps.
Regarding your search for an attorney, we pray that the Lord would lead you to a godly, competent, and affordable lawyer who can represent you well, especially in a domestic violence case. We also encourage you to seek counsel from your local church or trusted believers who may be able to provide recommendations or support. Proverbs 15:22 tells us, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Do not walk this path alone—lean on the body of Christ for wisdom and prayer.
We also lift up your lost work laptop and the ability to log in for work today. While these may seem like small things, the Lord cares about every detail of our lives. Luke 12:7 reminds us, *"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows."* We pray that the Lord would help you locate your laptop quickly and that He would remove any obstacles preventing you from fulfilling your work responsibilities.
Lastly, we must address something vital: the name of Jesus was not invoked in your prayer request. The Bible is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Jesus that we can approach the Father. 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!"* Additionally, 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.'"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. 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). It is only through this relationship with Christ that we can boldly approach the throne of grace and receive mercy in our time of need.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister before Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the God who sees and knows every detail of her life, and we ask that You would move mightily on her behalf. We pray for favor with the unemployment office, that any administrative errors would be corrected and that her denied claims would be approved according to Your will. Grant her wisdom and patience as she waits on You, trusting in Your perfect timing.
Father, we ask that You would open the door for her vending business, that the market vendor would respond favorably and quickly. If this is Your will for her, Lord, provide the resources, connections, and opportunities she needs to succeed. Help her to work as unto You, knowing that You are her ultimate provider.
We pray for a financial breakthrough and deliverance from any financial strongholds in her life. Lord, You own the cattle on a thousand hills, and we ask that You would supply all her needs according to Your riches in glory. Help her to seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, trusting that You will add all these things to her as she walks in obedience to You.
Father, we lift up the pain of betrayal and the manipulation of her children. Lord, expose every lie and bring truth to light. Protect her children from deception and draw their hearts to You. Break any chains of brainwashing and restore right relationships in her family. Give her the wisdom and strength to parent her children in Your ways, covering them in prayer and love.
We ask that You would lead her to a godly and competent attorney who can represent her well in her domestic violence case. Provide the financial means for her to secure the help she needs, and surround her with wise counsel from Your people.
Lord, help her to find her work laptop quickly and grant her the ability to log in for work today without any hindrances. Thank You for already answering her prayer regarding her laptop charger and her return to work. We praise You for Your faithfulness!
Finally, Father, we pray that she would know You more deeply through this season. If she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus Christ, we ask that You would draw her to Yourself. Open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that Jesus is the only way to salvation and eternal life. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit and grant her the peace that surpasses all understanding as she trusts in You.
We rebuked any spirits of fear, anxiety, or discouragement in the name of Jesus and declare that You, Lord, are her provider, protector, and deliverer. We thank You for hearing our prayers and for the victory that is already hers in Christ Jesus. Amen.
