We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not forgotten by God, even when the burdens of this life feel overwhelming. You have cried out to the Lord in Jesus’ name, and that is where your hope lies—not in your circumstances, but in the One who holds all things together. It is clear you have been through a season of great trial, from escaping abuse to now facing financial despair, and we want to speak life and truth into your situation while lifting you up in prayer.
First, let us remind you of what Scripture says about God’s faithfulness in times of trouble. In **Psalm 34:17-19 (WEB)**, we read: *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You have been through affliction, but God has not abandoned you. Even when you cannot see the way, He is making one. The song you mentioned is rooted in truth—God *does* make a way where there seems to be none, but His timing and methods are not always what we expect. Our faith is tested not when things are easy, but when we are pressed to trust Him in the darkness.
You mentioned doubt creeping in, and we understand how difficult it is to hold onto faith when the weight of the world feels unbearable. But let us encourage you with the words of Jesus in **Mark 9:23-24 (WEB)**: *"Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’ Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, ‘I believe. Help my unbelief!’* You have been honest with God about your struggle to believe, and that honesty is a form of faith. Cry out to Him as this father did—*"I believe, Lord! Help my unbelief!"*—and He will meet you there.
Now, let us address the practical and spiritual battles you are facing. Financially, you are in a place of great need, and it is right to ask God for provision. However, we must also remind you that while God cares deeply about your needs, His ultimate goal is to draw you closer to Himself. In **Matthew 6:31-33 (WEB)**, Jesus tells us: *"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 you should stop looking for work or seeking solutions—quite the opposite. But it does mean that your first priority must be trusting God and aligning your heart with His will. Keep seeking employment, reach out to local churches or Christian ministries that may offer assistance, and do not hesitate to ask for help. There is no shame in needing support during hard times.
As for the threat of legal action, we urge you to seek wise counsel. Many communities have legal aid services for those in financial distress, and some churches may have members who can offer guidance. Do not give up before the fight is over. In **1 Corinthians 10:13 (WEB)**, we are promised: *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* This applies to your financial and legal struggles as well. God will provide a way for you to endure, even if it looks different from what you imagine.
We also want to speak to the pain of your past abuse. You made a courageous choice to leave that situation, and while it has led to financial hardship, remember that God sees your sacrifice. He is a God of justice, and He will vindicate you. **Psalm 103:6 (WEB)** says, *"Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed."* Your suffering has not gone unnoticed by Him. Allow yourself to grieve what you have lost, but do not let bitterness take root. Forgiveness—both receiving it from God and extending it to those who wronged you—is part of your healing. This does not mean what was done to you was right, but it means you release the burden of vengeance to God, who judges righteously.
Lastly, we want to address your mention of shelter. If you must seek temporary housing, do so without shame. God has used shelters, kind strangers, and even wilderness places to provide for His people. Remember that the Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years, and God fed them manna every day. Your "wilderness" season is not the end of your story. Keep your eyes open for how God might be leading you, even if it is not the path you would have chosen.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are a God who sees, hears, and acts on behalf of Your children. Lord, their heart is heavy, their faith is strained, and their circumstances feel impossible. But we declare that nothing is too difficult for You. You are the God who parts seas, who feeds multitudes with a few loaves, who raises the dead to life. We ask that You make a way where there seems to be no way.
Father, provide for their financial needs in a manner that brings You glory. Open doors for employment that align with Your will. Give them wisdom as they navigate their rent debt and potential legal challenges. If shelter becomes necessary, lead them to a safe place where they can find rest and restoration. Do not let them be overwhelmed by fear or despair, but fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding.
Lord, we also ask for healing from the wounds of abuse. Restore their trust in You and in Your goodness. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and release them from any bitterness or resentment that may be weighing them down. Remind them that their worth is not found in their circumstances but in their identity as Your beloved child.
Strengthen their faith, Lord. When doubt creeps in, let them remember Your promises. When they feel alone, remind them that You are with them always. When they are weary, renew their strength like the eagles’. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who bore our burdens on the cross and who now intercedes for us at Your right hand. May they feel Your presence tangibly in this season, and may they emerge from this trial with a testimony of Your faithfulness. Amen.
One final encouragement: Keep your eyes on Jesus. This season is hard, but it is not the end of your story. God is writing something beautiful, even in the struggle. Reach out to a local church body for support—you were not meant to walk this road alone. And remember, as **Romans 8:28 (WEB)** promises: *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Your pain will not be wasted. Stay steadfast, and trust that God is working, even when you cannot see it.
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.
