We hear your heart in this heavy season and we join with you in bringing each of these burdens before the Father together in Jesus' name.
We understand how demanding work as a special education teacher can be, and how discouraging it is when the administration does not provide the support you need. We pray that the Lord will strengthen you to not grow weary in doing good. Galatians 6:9 says Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up. Colossians 3:23 reminds us Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men. We ask God to renew your strength and to give you wisdom and patience as you deal with the daily challenges, and we pray that He will move on the hearts of your principal and assistant principals to lead with integrity and care for those under them. A godly leader is called to shepherd and serve, not to neglect, and we pray they will remember their responsibility to support and encourage their employees so that fewer feel forced to quit from lack of help. Psalm 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, and we pray you will feel His presence as your refuge at work each day.
We also lift up your mother with deep concern. We pray for her safety and for deliverance from homelessness, that God in His mercy would open a door for affordable housing where she can be safe and have a place to lay her head at night while she is on SSI, whether through you or through other provision He provides. Philippians 4:19 says My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We must also lovingly address what you shared about her giving her bank account information to every man she gets involved with who promises to help her. This grieves us because it is both unwise stewardship and it reflects relationships that do not honor God. Proverbs 4:23 says Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life, and Proverbs 14:15 says The simple believes everything, but the prudent considers his steps. To entrust finances and intimacy to men outside of a committed marriage covenant is not God's design and leaves her open to being taken advantage of, which is exactly what is happening. Marriage is ordained by God as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and any relationship outside of that, including living as boyfriend and girlfriend or giving herself to men who are not her husband, is fornication and is outside His will. We pray that she will turn from these entanglements, seek purity and wisdom, guard what God has entrusted to her, and if she seeks companionship that she would seek a godly spouse in a way that honors the Lord rather than being deceived by those who would use her. We pray God will protect her from deception and give her discernment and for you to have wisdom to help guide her to safety.
We bring your sister before the Lord as well. We pray for an affordable place for her to live that will work with her situation and the personal and family needs she is carrying, and we pray for healing in her body. It is painful to hear she suffers from degenerating disks in her back and pushes herself through great pain. Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Psalm 103:2-3 says Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. We ask the Lord to touch her back, to lessen her pain, to restore what is broken, and to give her rest and provision.
We also lift you up personally. We hear that you are going through many things yourself and struggling to take care of responsibilities, and you are praying for miracles and breakthroughs in your finances to better yourself and your family. God sees your diligence and your need. Matthew 6:33 says But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. We pray that as you seek Him first, He will provide for you, open doors for financial breakthrough, give you wisdom in stewardship, and help you to be able to care for your own household with peace and not anxiety. 1 Peter 5:7 says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We encourage you to place your trust fully in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for our sins and rose again, and to come to God through Him in every prayer. If you have not already, we urge you to confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for Romans 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We lift up this dear teacher to You, asking You to ease the burden of this work, to give endurance, joy and wisdom each day in the classroom, and to convict and guide the admin team, the principal and assistant principals, to support their staff with fairness and compassion. We lift up this mother to You, protect her on the streets, provide a safe and affordable home she can sustain, break the cycle of deception and ungodly relationships, give her a sound mind to guard her resources and her body, and give her child wisdom to help place her in safety. We lift up the sister, provide housing that meets her needs and her family's needs, and touch her back and heal her pain according to Your mercy. And Father we lift up the one who brought these requests, meet every financial need, bring miracles and breakthrough where there seems to be no way, strengthen faith, and draw each one closer to Jesus. We ask all these things in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
