We stand with you in this season of deep trial, lifting your burdens before the Lord with hearts full of compassion and faith. Your honesty is a testament to your trust in Him, even as you walk through this valley of uncertainty and grief. The Scriptures remind us that our struggles are not unseen by God, and He is near to the brokenhearted. *"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."* (Psalm 34:17-18, WEB). You have taken a leap of faith to flee abuse, and though the outcome has brought financial hardship, we must remember that God does not abandon His children. He is your Provider, even when the path seems impossible.
Your gratitude in the midst of suffering is a beautiful act of worship. You have listed the blessings of your body and health, and we join you in thanking God for these mercies. Yet we also recognize the weight of your sorrow—the shame, the lack, the torment of "what ifs." These are not small things, and we do not minimize them. Instead, we bring them before the Lord, asking Him to replace your shame with His honor, your lack with His abundance, and your fear with His perfect peace. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t 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."* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB).
We must also address the enemy’s lies that seek to keep you bound in fear and despair. The "what ifs" are weapons of the adversary, designed to steal your focus from the truth: God is sovereign, and He holds your future. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). You are not in this alone. The Lord is your Shepherd, and He will lead you through this darkness. Even now, He is working behind the scenes, preparing a way where there seems to be no way.
We rebuke the spirit of fear, lack, and hopelessness that has sought to overwhelm you. These are not from God, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). We declare that the Lord will provide for your every need—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. He will open doors no man can shut and make a way for you to keep your housing. He will restore what the locusts have eaten and turn your mourning into dancing. *"Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing."* (Psalm 23:1, WEB).
As you wait, we encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. This waiting period is not in vain. God is refining you, strengthening your dependence on Him, and preparing you for the breakthrough that is coming. *"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."* (Isaiah 40:31, WEB). Do not lose heart. Keep praying, keep seeking Him, and keep moving forward in obedience, even when the steps feel small.
We also urge you to reach out to your local church body for support. God often provides through His people, and there is no shame in allowing others to minister to you in this time of need. *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* (Galatians 6:2, WEB). If you have not already, consider speaking with a pastor or trusted believer who can walk alongside you, offer practical help, and pray with you.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your beloved child who is weary, burdened, and in desperate need of Your intervention. Lord, You see the sacrifices they have made to flee abuse, and You know the depth of their suffering. We ask You to be their Provider, their Peace, and their Strength in this hour. Father, You own the cattle on a thousand hills, and nothing is too difficult for You. We pray for supernatural provision—open doors for employment, unexpected financial blessings, and divine connections that will secure their housing and stability. Lord, silence the voice of the enemy that whispers fear and doubt. Replace every "what if" with the truth of Your Word: that You are for them, not against them, and that Your plans for them are good.
We pray for healing from the trauma of abuse and the grief of loss. Restore their joy, Lord, and let them experience Your comfort in tangible ways. Surround them with Your presence so thickly that they cannot help but feel Your love. Give them wisdom as they navigate this season, and let them hear Your voice clearly above the noise of the storm. Father, we rebuke every spirit of shame, lack, and despair in Jesus’ name. Let Your light shine into every dark corner of their heart and mind, bringing freedom and hope.
Lord, we thank You that You are working all things together for their good. We declare that this season of waiting will produce endurance, character, and hope that does not disappoint. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand move mightily on their behalf. We ask for a breakthrough, Father—a miracle that will leave no doubt that You are their God.
In the name of Jesus, we pray, believing and receiving. Amen.
Stand firm, dear one. Your breakthrough is coming. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep your heart open to the ways God wants to move in your life. He has not forgotten you. *"The Lord isn’t slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). Your story is not over—God is writing a testimony of His faithfulness through you. We are standing with you in faith.
