Overwhelmed and sinking fast

Anonymous

Beloved of All
I read that a person for a job three days after they were evicted from their home. The person was happy to get a job but now can’t find another home. Please pray for them in Jesus name. Not sure if they’re a believer or not. Secondly I am facing potential eviction because my rent debt is too large. Small amounts go toward the rent but I just can’t come up with the remainder. I feel very abandoned in this trial. I have fallen into deep doubt and I stopped praying about this particular issue. Tired of trying to fix things, tired of going through very hard times. Tired of evil people who are abusive getting away with it and those who try to do right (were not perfect or saints) get crushed with lack, poverty, starvation. Then people wonder why our faith wavers. Oh help me someone, anyone. Sleepless nights, fear, anxiety.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up these deep struggles and cries for help, knowing that He is the God who sees, hears, and provides. First, we pray for the person who was evicted but has now found work—what a testament to God’s faithfulness even in hardship! Yet the battle isn’t over, as they still need a place to live. Father, we ask that You open doors no one can shut, providing not just shelter but a stable home where this person can rebuild. If they do not yet know You, Lord, we pray this trial would draw them to Your heart. Let them see Your hand at work and turn to You in faith, for apart from Christ, there is no lasting hope. *"The Lord is near to those who are broken at heart, and saves those who are crushed in spirit."* (Psalm 34:18, WEB)

And now, to you who are drowning in this storm—we hear the raw pain in your words, the exhaustion, the doubt, and the cry of *"How long, Lord?"* You are not abandoned, though it feels that way. The enemy wants you to believe God has forgotten you, but Scripture declares, *"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."* (Isaiah 49:15-16, WEB) Your struggle is seen. Your tears are collected in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). But we must gently yet firmly rebuke the spirit of unbelief that has taken root in your heart. Stopping prayer is like cutting off your lifeline in the middle of a storm. Jesus Himself asked, *"Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"* (Luke 18:8, WEB) Faith isn’t the absence of doubt—it’s choosing to cling to God *despite* the doubt.

You are weary of seeing evil prosper while the righteous suffer, and we understand that grief. Habakkuk cried out the same lament: *"Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds."* (Habakkuk 1:3, WEB) But God’s answer to him—and to you—is this: *"The vision is yet for the appointed time... Though it delays, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t disappoint."* (Habakkuk 2:3, WEB) This side of heaven, we won’t always see justice. But we *will* see God’s provision if we keep our eyes on Him. Your rent debt feels impossible, but *"with God, all things are possible."* (Matthew 19:26, WEB) Have you sought wisdom from your church or godly counselors? Sometimes pride keeps us from asking for help, but Proverbs 11:14 says, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* Reach out. Let others stand in the gap with you.

As for the sleepless nights and anxiety, cast them on Jesus—*literally*. Peter writes, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB) That means when fear wakes you at 3 a.m., you speak Scripture over yourself. When despair whispers *"You’re alone,"* you declare, *"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."* (Psalm 23:1, WEB) When bitterness rises, you choose forgiveness, trusting God to fight your battles. And when you’re too weak to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes with groans too deep for words (Romans 8:26).

So we pray now with authority:
Father, we lift up our sibling in Christ who is sinking fast. Forgive them for the unbelief that has crept in, and renew their faith like a fire. You are the God who parts seas, multiplies loaves, and turns mourning into dancing. We ask for supernatural provision—whether through a financial miracle, a compassionate landlord, or an unexpected source of income. Break the spirit of poverty and lack in Jesus’ name. Rebuke the anxiety and fear that torment them; let Your peace, which surpasses understanding, guard their heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). Restore their sleep. Surround them with Your angels and Your people. And Lord, where they have felt abandoned, remind them that even Jesus cried, *"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"*—yet You were there all along, working redemption. Let this trial produce endurance, character, and hope that does not disappoint (Romans 5:3-5).

To you, dear one: Get back on your knees. Not because God needs your prayers, but because *you* need the posture of surrender. Start thanking Him *in advance* for the breakthrough. And if you’ve stopped reading His Word, open it again—even if it’s just one verse a day. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). You are not fighting for victory; you are fighting *from* victory because of Christ’s finished work. Now stand firm, and watch what God will do. *"The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."* (Exodus 14:14, WEB) We are standing with you in this. You are *not* alone.
 
We're right here with you, dear friend. We see the weight you're carrying, the sleepless nights, the anxiety that's become your constant companion. We know it feels overwhelming, like you're drowning, and it's hard to see the surface, let alone reach for it. But we want you to know, you're not alone in this storm. We're here, and so is Jesus. He's right there in the middle of it with you.

We're praying for that person who was evicted but found work. Lord, we ask that You would open doors for them, providing not just shelter, but a stable home where they can rebuild their life. If they don't know You yet, Lord, we pray this trial would draw them to Your heart. Let them see Your hand at work and turn to You in faith, for apart from Christ, there is no lasting hope.

And for you, dear one, we're asking God to strengthen your faith, to renew it like a fire. We're claiming His promise in Matthew 19:26, "With God, all things are possible." We're believing for supernatural provision, for a breakthrough in your financial situation. We're asking God to rebuke the anxiety and fear that's been tormenting you, and to fill you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding.

We're also reminding you, friend, that even Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" But He was never abandoned. God was there all along, working redemption. This trial, as hard as it is, can produce endurance, character, and hope that doesn't disappoint. So, get back on your knees, dear one. Start thanking Him in advance for the breakthrough. And if you've stopped reading His Word, open it again, even if it's just one verse a day. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

We're standing with you, friend. You are not alone. Together, we're watching what God will do. "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." (Exodus 14:14)
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
