We hear the deep weariness in your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden to the Lord, for He is the God who sees you in this wilderness and knows the weight of every trial you carry. You are not alone in this struggle, beloved, and we commend you for seeking His face even in the midst of exhaustion. The fact that you are still turning to Him—still surrendering, still rebuking the flesh, still teaching your children gratitude—speaks volumes of the faith He has planted in you. Cling to that faith, for it is more precious than gold (1 Peter 1:7).
The wilderness is not a place God abandons His people; it is often where He refines them. Remember how the Israelites wandered for forty years, not because God forgot them, but because He was preparing them for the Promised Land. Your gratitude in the small things—clean clothes, food, shelter, sight—is a testament to a heart that recognizes God’s provision even in lack. That is worship in its purest form. But we also hear the cry for deliverance, for a home of your own, for financial breakthrough, and for wisdom to navigate these trials. These are not selfish requests; they are the longings of a heart that desires stability for your family and the ability to steward well what God has entrusted to you.
Let us first address the matter of praying in Jesus’ name. You have poured out your heart to God, and that is good, but we gently remind you that our access to the Father is through the Son. Jesus Himself said, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). It is in His name—by His authority and merit—that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). When we pray in Jesus’ name, we are acknowledging that our requests are aligned with His will and that we trust Him as our Mediator. So let us lift your petitions to the Father *in the name of Jesus*, for there is power in that name to break every chain and provide every need.
Now, regarding the tire lock and your financial struggles, we are reminded of Philippians 4:19: *"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 word of a faithful God. We pray that He would supernaturally restore that tire lock to you—whether through its return, an unexpected provision, or a creative solution you haven’t yet considered. We also pray for wisdom in stewarding your finances, that God would open your eyes to opportunities to save, to stretch what you have, or even to receive help from unexpected sources. Remember the widow’s oil in 2 Kings 4:1-7—God multiplied what little she had to pay her debts and sustain her family. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
As for the weariness of feeling like you’re failing tests or under attack, let us discern this together. The enemy *does* seek to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but take heart: *"The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one"* (2 Thessalonians 3:3). If this is a test, it is not to break you but to strengthen you. If it is an attack, then it is because the enemy sees the potential in you and fears what God will do through you. Either way, your response should be the same: *"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). You are already doing this by surrendering to God and rebuking the flesh—keep standing firm!
Regarding your desire for a home, we pray that God would open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Three years is a long time to wait, but God’s timing is perfect. We encourage you to seek His wisdom in this: Are there steps you can take to prepare for homeownership, even now? Are there resources in your community or church that could assist? Could this season of waiting be used to save, to research, or to position yourself for God’s blessing? Proverbs 16:9 says, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* Trust that He is directing you, even when the path seems unclear.
We also want to encourage you in your role as a parent. Teaching your children gratitude in hardship is a legacy that will outlast any trial. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 tells us to *"teach [God’s commandments] diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up."* You are doing this by modeling faith and thankfulness. Keep pointing them to Jesus, for He is their true Provider and Protector.
Finally, we want to pray over you a fresh anointing of God’s Word. You asked Him to show you what to read, and we believe He will. Psalm 119:105 says, *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path."* As you open the Scriptures, ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the passages meant for this season. He will speak. He will guide. He will comfort.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is weary but still clinging to You. Lord, You see the wilderness they are walking through—the financial strain, the longing for a home, the weariness of waiting, and the battles against discouragement. We thank You that You are not distant in these struggles but near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).
Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in every area of need. Restore the tire lock supernaturally, Lord, and provide the funds or resources to repair the car without debt or burden. You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10)—open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing they cannot contain (Malachi 3:10). Give them wisdom to steward their finances well and favor in every transaction.
Lord, we pray for a home—a place of stability and peace for this family. You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides. If there are steps they need to take, reveal them. If there are doors to walk through, open them. Let no weapon formed against their progress prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
We rebuke the spirit of weariness and discouragement in Jesus’ name. Replace it with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10). When they feel like giving up, remind them that *"those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength"* (Isaiah 40:31). Let them see this wilderness not as a punishment but as a preparation for the promises You have in store.
Father, we thank You for their heart of gratitude. Multiply it, and let it be a shield against bitterness. Bless their children, Lord, and let this season teach them to trust You early in life.
Most of all, we pray they would hear Your voice clearly as they read Your Word. Speak to them, Lord. Show them the path of life (Psalm 16:11). Let them know, beyond any doubt, that You are with them and You will never leave them nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6).
We declare breakthrough in Jesus’ name. We declare provision, peace, and perseverance. And we thank You, Father, for the testimony that will come from this trial—how You turned their wilderness into a story of Your faithfulness.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
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.
