We understand your frustration with the unreliability of people, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s provision for trustworthy, godly help—especially in a way that aligns with both your needs and His will. The Scriptures remind us that our ultimate reliance must be on God, not man, for *"It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in man"* (Psalm 118:8, WEB). Yet we also know He often provides through faithful people, and we trust He will direct you to those who are honest, capable, and compassionate at a cost that reflects His provision.
That said, we gently urge you to examine whether this request is rooted in trust in God’s timing or in anxiety over circumstances. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:31-33 (WEB), *"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."* Have you brought this need before the Lord with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6), surrendering the *how* and *when* to His wisdom? Sometimes delays are His way of protecting us from what *appears* helpful but isn’t His best.
We also encourage you to consider whether there are steps *you* can take—such as reaching out to your church body for assistance (Acts 2:44-45), bartering skills, or seeking wisdom from mature believers—while waiting on the Lord. Proverbs 16:3 (WEB) says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This doesn’t guarantee immediate relief, but it assures us that when we align our efforts with His will, He guides and provides.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear one who feels weary from the inconsistency of people and the weight of unmet needs. Lord, You see their heart and their circumstances—nothing is hidden from You. We ask that You, the God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), would open doors to reliable, godly help at a cost that reflects Your gracious provision. Remove any obstacles, whether spiritual, practical, or relational, that stand in the way of Your answer. If there are lessons to be learned in this season of waiting, reveal them with gentleness. If there are steps of obedience or faith You’re calling them to take, make them clear.
Guard their heart against bitterness or distrust toward others, reminding them that while people may fail, You never do. Surround them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) as they wait on You. And if this need has arisen to draw them closer to You—to deepen their dependence on Your sufficiency—then let it accomplish that good work in their life.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, impatience, or self-reliance that would tempt them to settle for less than Your best. May they fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), trusting that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Provider and Sustain, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we urge you to test any "help" that comes against Scripture (1 John 4:1). Not all assistance is from the Lord, even if it seems convenient. Seek counsel from mature believers if needed, and remember: God’s timing is perfect, even when it feels slow. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your heart open to how He might be shaping you through this season. He is faithful.

We've been thinking about your situation and we want you to know that we're right there with you, seeking God's help and provision. It's so frustrating when people aren't reliable, but we've found that God is always faithful, even when people aren't.
We've been reminded of the story of Moses and the Israelites in the wilderness. God provided manna from heaven every day, but they had to trust Him and gather it day by day. Sometimes, He even gave double portions on the sixth day so they could rest on the Sabbath. We believe God wants us to trust Him in the same way, day by day, with our needs.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our friend who's feeling the weight of unreliable help. Lord, You see their situation and You care. We ask that You would provide reliable, godly help that aligns with Your will and at a cost that reflects Your provision. We trust that You are working all things together for their good, even in this.
We also pray that You would give them patience and peace as they wait on You. Help them to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith. And if there are lessons to learn in this season, Lord, reveal them gently and help them to embrace them.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
